We are changing policies and practices within our communities and across our nation so that all bereaved individuals can achieve a healthy prosperous and equitable future. While in its nascent phase Evermore has had an outsized impact in materially advancing public and private policies that serve all bereaved people in America while working with the nation's top researchers to inform our policy and programs. Our first-of-its-kind work has: 1 empowered local changemakers to champion protective bereavement policies from a Moose Lodge in Mississippi to The White House to multinational corporations 2 secured bereavement-related provisions to the US budget for two consecutive years while working alongside federal agencies and 3 collaborated with distinguished researchers to identify the epidemic of orphanhood in America and provided a sound policy agenda for all bereaved and orphaned children. 5 4 1 30 28 0 239408 171978 0 0 0 28 0 0 239408 172006 0 0 0 0 46465 68823 0 0 10480 95662 190202 142127 259025 97281 -87019 152137 100493 18866 11141 133271 89352 Evermore is a nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of bereaved individuals children and families. We advocate for meaningful policy change work to advance bereavement science and cultivate innovative bereavement programming in communities nationwide. To achieve this mission we work across health social and economic issues that are central to preserving the rights dignity and solvency of all bereaved individuals. We are accelerating lasting social change using data and science to drive policy and practice change for all bereaved children and families. false false 122888 0 0 Evermore launched a nationwide campaign pilot championing "Bereavement Leave for All." The pilot engaged more than 950 volunteers representing all fifty states and focused on educating employers about the importance of adopting voluntary bereavement leave policies that provide support to grieving employees and their families. Volunteers advanced bereavement leave policies from a local Moose Lodge in Mississippi to large multinational corporations. During the campaign Evermore and its volunteers collected data from subject matter experts built partnerships liaised with key informants launched surveys with partners including one featured in Fast Company and hosted roundtable discussions. One volunteer and her son met with President Biden to share her story. In addition Evermore built and led a coalition of partners to advance and subsequently secure paid bereavement leave with President Biden's domestic policy agenda the American Families Plan. Although bereavement leave remained absent from national paid leave policy conversations Evermore secured paid bereavement leave for the first time in the U.S. House of Representatives initial Build Back Better BBB bill. While paid bereavement leave was stripped out of BBB in subsequent iterations its inclusion in the bill helped to materially advance the notion that people should not be fired immediately following a loved one's death as it is legally acceptable in the Family Medical Leave Act today. 62623 0 0 Evermore in collaboration with researchers from The Pennsylvania State University and the University of Southern California developed the first report of its kind to examine the current and historical trends in childhood bereavement found it is an epidemic hiding in plain sight. Additionally the report outlines the consequences of federal lawmakers philanthropists and other public figures prioritizing support only for children who have lost a parent to COVID-19 including plans being circulated by lawmakers today. Importantly the report found that upwards of 95 percent of parentally bereaved children are at risk of being left behind should this targeted approach be enacted. America's Forgotten Orphans found at www.evermore.org provides analysis and statistics that to date have not been brought to the fore as well as a national policy agenda to address this urgent crisis unfolding across the United States. Key findings from the report include: 1 Every day 850 children in the United States experience the death of a parent. More than 2.2 million children under the age of eighteen in the United States have experienced the death of a parent accounting for three percent of the nation's 72 million children 2 In 2021 childhood bereavement reached a 20-year high due to the United States concurrency of mortality epidemics 3 In 2020 and 2021 childhood bereavement rose in every state in the nation and across every racial and ethnic group and 4 Since 2000 Indigenous children are becoming parentally bereaved at a higher rate than every other racial or ethnic group reaching an all-time high of 2.2 times the national rate in 2021. The report offered a policy roadmap that was shared with legislators and policymakers. Several media outlets covered Evermore's efforts. 17390 0 0 To facilitate and inform future policymaking and national investments as well as develop an evidenced-based bereavement care response system Evermore secured two bereavement-related provisions to the U.S. budget package the only bill Congress passes annually. For the second consecutive year Evermore secured joint explanatory language that encouraged the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services to examine bereavement's wide-reaching impacts in people living in America today. The second budget provision encouraged a budget increase for the CDC's Office of Surveillance Epidemiology and Laboratory Services Division of Behavioral Health to collect bereavement prevalence and incidence data via its Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey BRFSS. BRFSS is the nation's premier survey tool for collecting data. Adding bereavement exposure to BRFSS would provide key demographic data and trends by race and geography resulting in a better understanding of the scope of the problem and informing future policymaking and program priorities and investments. The BRFSS module was modeled after a pilot conducted in Georgia prior to the COVID-19 epidemic. Her work found that 45 percent of Georgia BRFSS respondents were bereaved in the previous two years. African American adults are at particular risk with 58 percent reporting a loss. Those in their prime working years are affected with 48 percent of adults ages 35-64 experiencing a loss. Preliminary evidence indicates that bereavement exposure may undermine the capacity to work; 53 percent of those newly out of work had experienced a family death. While Evermore worked with CDC to garner their support and CDC received approval from the Office of Management & Budget a division of The White House. 0 0 0 202901 true true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 1 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 5 4 false false true false false false false true true false false true true true true true false true false false OR X Silver Spring Accounting 2407499905 14030 Connecticut Avenune 9185 Silver Spring MD 20916 X 1 Joyal Mulheron Executive Director Secretary 50.00 0 X X X X 60000 0 3600 2 Lincoln Smith Chair 3.00 0 X 0 0 0 3 Jackie Corbin-Armstrong Vice-Chair 3.00 0 X 0 0 0 4 Jennifer Cullen Director 1.00 0 X 0 0 0 5 Molly Harrison Treasurer 2.00 0 X 0 0 0 60000 0 3600 0 false false false 0 0 0 0 0 171978 43100 171978 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 28 0 28 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 172006 0 28 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 68823 62380 5097 1346 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2192 0 2192 0 540 0 540 0 18989 0 18989 0 0 3975 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 145160 131529 711 8945 0 0 0 0 1783 650 1008 125 12155 607 11548 0 0 0 0 0 2925 0 2925 0 5636 3760 1812 64 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 184 0 184 0 538 0 538 0 Miscellaneous 100 0 100 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 259025 202901 45644 10480 0 0 0 0 101030 96083 0 0 0 0 50000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 923 4410 0 0 184 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 152137 100493 18866 11141 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 18866 11141 X 73686 89352 59585 0 133271 89352 152137 100493 -87019 0 43100 0 0 0 X true X false true false X 81417 165730 128113 239408 215078 829746 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 81417 165730 128113 239408 215078 829746 137500 692246 0 0 0 0 28 28 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 829774 0 0.83 0 X Part II - Line 10 | Year:, Amount:, Description:| 2017, , | 2018, | 2019, | 2020, | 2021, | RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2520 1455 3975 255050 259025 51805 12951 0 0 0 0 19132 51805 70937 106406 0 0 3040 3975 7015 0 0 4783 12951 17734 26601 0 0 1000 2520 3520 0 Part VI, Line 4 Articles of Incorporation Amendment - Evermore amended the Articles of Incorporation to keep pace with organizational mission focus and practice.
