Part X, Line 2: UUSC accounts for the effect of any uncertain tax positions based on a "more likely than not" threshold to the recognition of the tax positions being sustained based on the technical merits of the position under scrutiny by the applicable taxing authority. If a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties of those positions, the unrecognized tax benefit is estimated based on a "cumulative probability assessment" that aggregates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax positions. UUSC has identified its tax status as a tax exempt entity and its determination of which income is related and unrelated as its only significant tax positions and has determined that such tax positions do not result in uncertainty requiring recognition. UUSC is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdiction. UUSC's Federal and state income tax returns are generally open for examination for three years after the date of filing.

Form 990, Part I, Line 1, Description of Organization Mission: Guided by UU principles and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, UUSC strives to advance human rights, dismantle systems of oppression, and uplift and affirm the inherent worth and dignity of all people. We center the voices and experiences of those most affected and strengthen those grassroots groups and movements who are organizing themselves to advance these goals. In order to accomplish this, we offer justice education and leadership development; engagement and mobilization for advocacy; partner support; and grant funding. UUSC aims to leverage our particular strategic assets and strengths to disrupt criminalization and systemic oppression of people based on their identities; support self-determination and defend the rights of people who are or may be forced to leave the places they call home due to climate, conflict, or economic hardship, and address the root causes of forced displacement; and respond to humanitarian crises as partners with people whose access to aid is most limited, by helping them to rebuild their lives and by addressing the human rights issues or violations that make them more vulnerable. In all of our work, UUSC and our partners work with the communities most affected by injustice, including: -In Burma, all of our partners are focused on protecting the rights of the ethnic minority communities. -In Mexico and Central America, UUSC's partners work with people who have been displaced from their home countries by state-sanctioned and gender-based violence, are at risk of being displaced, or who have been repatriated and are in continued danger. -In the U.S., our partners work with criminalized populations, including undocumented people, those at risk of deportation, and humanitarian aid workers seeking to assist those making the dangerous journey from Mexico to the U.S. border. -In Alaska, Louisiana, and the Pacific, UUSC's partners are advancing and protecting the rights of populations at risk of climate-forced displacement, and upholding the "right to resist" extractive development projects that threaten to displace their communities and destroy their ancestral lands, including Line 3 in Minnesota and LNG pipelines in Texas. -In the Bahamas, UUSC is supporting grassroots partners working with the communities most impacted by Hurricane Dorian, including Haitian immigrants who are subjected to ongoing discrimination and completely ignored by the mainstream response to the hurricane. In the past fiscal year, UUSC made nearly 90 grants and amendments worth $1.55 million to grassroots organizations working in countries around the world. UUSC's Impact What does it mean to have a human rights "impact"? For UUSC, "impact" means building movements for systemic change. Impact means using our power and privilege as a US-based nonprofit to amplify the power of the grassroots by following the leadership of communities directly affected by injustice. It is addressing immediate harms and their root causes, in order to dismantle oppressive systems including those from which we benefit. In short, our impact can be seen in the steps we take on the way to building a more just, equitable, and regenerative world. These are ambitious goals to be sure. Achieving them will take time, and the work that will make them possible is not always quantifiable or readymade for public consumption. The themes, stories, and outcomes we choose to highlight in our work, therefore, are chosen because they help us understand whether or not our work is supporting those long-term, systemic impacts, as we strive to make progress on our human rights goals. We are proud that many of our highlights showcase UUSC's approach: consulting with our grassroots partners, frontline communities, and other allies and then leveraging whatever resources we have to make a collective impact on our shared struggle for justice and human rights. In every case, we aim to put our grassroots partners at the center, showing the power of social change when it is led by communities confronting oppression and injustice. Form 990, Part III, Line 4a: Migrant Justice Expenses $2,634,860 including grants of $512,318. Revenue: $17,392. UUSC's current migrant justice strategy is to support Central Americans at risk of forced displacement by increasing options for them to safely stay at home, protecting their rights on the migrant trail, and disrupting the system of imprisonment and deportation within the U.S. Violence, impunity, and corruption have forced thousands of Central Americans to flee their homes. All people have the rights to safety, human dignity, and a process to seek asylum. Yet, when they flee, people in migration face further dangers and abuses designed to deter them from their journey. Upon reaching the United States, they can be detained, prosecuted, or have their family members taken from them. After years spent building their lives in the United States, they may still be at risk of deportation. As with all our initiatives, we focus our grantmaking and partner support for grassroots organizations working for systemic change. We believe that connecting groups across the migration trail, from El Salvador to Mexico to the United States, will create a strong movement centered on the rights of people, not borders. The root causes of forced displacement are just as important to address as ensuring sanctuary and refuge from harm. UUSC focuses its efforts on supporting new systems of protection, particularly for women and Indigenous youth, and stopping U.S. military aid to security forces and U.S.-backed development projects, both of which escalate violence and create instability. In Nicaragua, for example, we support a grassroots women's organization, Fundacin entre Mujeres, that helps women develop alternative livelihoods and free them from abusive partners. In Guatemala, we support efforts to reintegrate Indigenous Maya youth who have been deported, through our partnership with Asociacin Pop No'j. In Honduras, we support Foro de Mujeres Por La Vida, a coalition of over 17 women's organizations, to reduce gender-based violence and document the impact of increased militarization on women's security. The dangers that women and human rights defenders face in Honduras are inseparable from the violation of ancestral and Indigenous land rights in many cases linked to U.S.-backed development projects. This violence forces more people to flee the country in search of safety, exacerbating instability throughout the region. UUSC also supports organizations along the migration trail from Central America to the United States to protect migrants from violence and extortion while in transit and help them to safely seek asylum in Mexico, if they choose to do so. Our partners advocate for transnational systems to ensure crimes against undocumented migrants can be reported and prosecuted, and help families locate their missing family members. They provide legal assistance to seek asylum in Mexico and help strengthen Mexico's overwhelmed asylum system. They also direct safe transit shelters where migrants can be informed of their rights and work to expose and address causes of migrant deaths in the desert. As the United States seeks to shift the burden to transit countries and deter asylum-seekers from finding safety within its borders, it is even more crucial that human rights defenders monitor asylum systems and immigration enforcement across borders. Finally, UUSC believes that people in migration in the United States should have the right to seek asylum, be free from arbitrary detention and deportation, and that families should stay together out of detention. We are supporting our partners in their work to document abuses in immigration detention centers and at the U.S.-Mexico border, to provide legal assistance to seek asylum, and to establish and maintain ways for immigrants in detention to receive legal support, connect with family, and advocate for themselves. Some examples of this year's impacts include: -The filing of Constitutional "Amparo" actions against the administrative decisions of the National Institute of Migration and even the Mexican Commission of Attention to Migrants, resulting in the protection of the rights of four individuals. -Supporting sanctuary leaders across the country to successfully secure stays of removal for fifteen people in migration in the United States. -Supporting meat processing plant workers to successfully pressure OSHA to conduct inspection of the plant in Milan, Missouri. -Facilitating the development of 28 household gardens for families threatened with displacement in Guatemala, allowing families to feed themselves. -Helping to provide access to food, water, medical supplies, and resting spaces for people in migration during their journey through the Arizona desert. -Partnering with Shut Down Etowah and the Detention Watch Network's Communities Not Cages coalition to shut down a detention center in Alabama. Etowah was among the "First 10" detention centers targeted for shut-down campaigns based on the severity of conditions there. Form 990, Part III, Line 4b: Climate Justice & Environmental Justice Expenses $2,311,203 including grants of $449,387. Revenue: $15,265. UUSC's Climate Justice work focuses on advancing and protecting the rights of populations at risk of climate-forced displacement caused by slow-onset climate impacts. UUSC's program emboldens the principle of the right to self-determination by prioritizing building protections in place and when necessary and required by our partners, supporting communities to relocate with dignity. In addition to directly supporting communities at risk, UUSC has a multi-pronged strategy that targets a range of stakeholders to assist communities as they advance their right to self-determination and develop strategies to respond to the spectrum of risks associated with climate-forced displacement. In alignment with our principles, UUSC's strategy upholds the timeless adage that civil society organizations around the world share, Nothing about us, without us." This recognizes the grave injustices that frontline communities have experienced through legacies of imperialism, colonialism, exploitation of Indigenous bodies and lands, and the forcible displacement that many have faced in the name of western modernization. By centering the voices of communities and by upholding their right to self-determination, UUSC and our partners are actively seeking a pathway to corrective justiceone that is transformative, redemptive, respectful, and sustainable, and most importantly, one that reflects the multiple needs that communities require on the ground. As part of UUSC's response and long-term work to support the self-determination of Haitians in addressing the nation's multi-dimensional civil, economic, environmental, and political crisis, UUSC is a part of an advocacy coalition including Haitian leaders on-the-ground and in the U.S. diaspora to influence U.S. government policy in Haiti towards supporting the Montana Agreement. The Montana Agreement was developed by a Commission of Haiti's civil society organizations (CSOs) and political groups with the primary goal of resolving the current political impasse and creating stable conditions by which Haitian's can reclaim their sovereignty. UUSC's grassroots partners in Haiti are focused on defending and protecting the rights of deportees, returnees and internally displaced populations, those whose lives have been uprooted due to ongoing climate and environmental devastations and state-sanctioned land grabs, which were created under Haiti's previous corrupt political leaderships and which was supported by U.S. foreign policy. Some examples of this year's impacts include: -Supporting efforts to protect the sacred site of Garcia Pasture, which this year won recognition as a "World Foundation Protected" site, bringing to light the Carrizo Comecrudo Tribe of Texas' work to achieve federal recognition for the tribe. -Supporting the development and implementation of advocacy strategies for Native Tribes in Alaska to address the ongoing lack of resources and technical assistance to respond to climate impacts. -Strengthening community-led climate change policy development with governments across the Pacific. -Gathering 18 partner representatives and community leaders from seven partner organizations across the Pacific Islands who are fighting to save their homes from the climate crisis and to advance climate justice. Form 990, Part III, Line 4c: Crisis Response in Burma Expenses $2,609,379 including grants of $763,682. Revenue: $17,227. UUSC supports grassroots organizations in Burma that are either led by members of directly impacted communities or supporting their self-empowerment. Our partners document and publicize human rights abuses, advocate for equality for religious and ethnic minorities, campaign for justice and accountability, run civic empowerment and conflict resolution trainings, and build diverse coalitions across grassroots activists. In February 2021, following the 2020 national election, the Burmese military staged a violent coup against the country's elected civilian government. Since then, the Burmese military has arrested, detained, tortured, or killed thousands of peaceful demonstrators, members of civil society, and government officials who oppose their rule. UUSC and our partners on-the-ground in Burma and neighboring Thailand have worked tirelessly, liaising with human rights defenders to provide both emergency humanitarian relief and to support human rights defenders fleeing from the military coup. UUSC was able to support some of the activists we have relationships with to secure funding to leave the country and enter the United States through humanitarian parole visas. Some other examples of this year's impacts include: -Strengthening grassroots-led humanitarian relief responses by the Rohingya, Karen, and Karenni ethnic minority groups to the ongoing violence and human rights abuses perpetrated by the Burmese military following the attempted military coup in February 2021. -In December, one of UUSC's partners filed a complaint against Meta (Facebook) with the Organization of Economic Cooperation & Development (OECD), on behalf of a group of Rohingya youth survivors of the 2017 genocide who are currently living in the refugee camps in Bangladesh. The complaint sets forth Facebook's complicity in the genocide and seeks several remedies, namely that Facebook divert a portion of its profits earned in Burma to provide remediation to the Rohingya in the form of educational facilities or other facilities suitable to ameliorate their living conditions within the camps. The OECD complaint is but the most recent attempt by Rohingya in the Bangladesh camps to hold Facebook accountable. In 2020, the group approached Facebook with a modest request: educational facilities costing about $1 million that would help address the urgent needs of school-age Rohingya children who have been deprived of an education. Despite that, this request is scarcely a fraction of what the Rohingya are owed in compensation for Facebook's role, the company refused to make even this small good-faith gesture. -Supporting the only program in the refugee camps in Bangladesh that teaches all subjects of the Burmese school curriculum and follows the principles of Myanmar Education Ministry. -In March, Secretary of State Antony Blinken made a long-overdue formal acknowledgement that the crimes committed against the Rohingya constitute genocide. Blinken's formal determination followed months of close scrutiny and review. When it finally came, it was based on a mountain of evidence, compiled over more than five years by Rohingya survivors, international monitors, experts in humanitarian law, and human rights observerswork that UUSC has consistently supported and organized around both with our partners, coalitions and members. Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: UU College of Social Justice The UU College of Social Justice (UUCSJ) is structured as a joint program of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC), jointly governed by the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) and UUSC for the benefit of both organizations under the terms of a joint operating agreement. UUCSJ is a key way in which both UUSC and the UUA realize their independent and intertwined missions to advance the justice-centered values of Unitarian Universalism and human rights. UUCSJ's mission is to inspire and sustain faith-based activism for justice, on issues of local, national, and global importance. We work closely with UUSC to center frontline grassroot partner needs and to activate UU's to serve in movement with them. UUCSJ provides justice education and leadership development to a wide variety of UU constituents, including clergy, lay leaders, and youth. We accomplish this through collaboration, co-creation, and curation of a variety of experiential learning programs, partnerships, workshops and resources designed for and with our UU congregations and UU-adjacent partners. As the world has made massive pandemic-inspired pivots, so too has UUCSJ. UUCSJ staff and Program Leaders began practicing with entirely new online offerings (in addition to adapting in-person versions to an online platform). We have now developed and offered a wide range of Community Action Circles to UU constituents and donors, ministers and religious educators, and organizers/activists with accompaniment networks, youth and young adults among others. Community Action Circles on zoom are a way to foster community-building, energetic grounding and connection, and collective action-taking, even while we were all physically distanced. Using interactive google slides, we created visually rich spaces that allowed people to feel less isolated, while offering timely political education and concrete opportunities to respond to action alerts from social movements in which we and our partners are involved. It has been an iterative process that we had adapted for multiple groups (including congregations, youth groups, UUA partners, the UUSC board, and national events such as the UU@UN Spring Seminar) and we have trained and mentored many activists to bring these action circles to their own communities. Our ability to transition to online workshops has enabled us to reach many more congregations and develop new engaging workshops with alumni from our programs, our network of CSJ program leaders, justice partners, and others to broaden our offerings. Our workshops have served as a positive way to strengthen our relationships with State Action Networks and the congregations they serve. We offer several workshops, including: Settler Colonialism 101, Being a Good Relative, Arts and Activism, Faith in Action, Speaking Justice in our Language of Faith, Saying Yes and Saying No, The Answer is in our Bodies, and How do we Imagine Justice. These past few years have brought challenges to our youth constituents and for those who seek to offer them meaningful opportunities for learning and connection amidst so much disruption to their social and educational lives. We have remained a resource and collaborator, whether working directly with congregational leaders or with our youth ministry focused colleagues at the UUA, bringing interactive online practices, risk assessment practices, and our focus on justice education to joint endeavors. We have remained in close contact with our partners at the organization BORDERLINKS and we are beginning to develop resources required for supporting youth groups through immersive learning journeys there as risk tolerance for travel begins to expand. And our first in person youth program offered in collaboration with the UUA is scheduled for August of FY2023 in Pittsburgh, PA, where GA will be located in June of 2023. At a time when many online programs have struggled to sustain participation with young adults, the online fellowship version of our GROW (Grounded & Resilient Organizers Workshop) has expanded and sustained engagement from young adults, ages 18-35, gathering for facilitated sessions to build their organizing skills in spiritually nourishing and relationally rich ways. Participants have grappled with themes related to Governance & Power, Conflict, Care, Time & Imagination, as well as the ongoing work of recognizing and dismantling white supremacy, as well as growing their understanding of intersectional social movements. These activists were supported in contextualizing their local contexts, whether campus, congregation, and/or community and mapping power and possibilities for ongoing meaningful action, including in concert with one another. As with our prior in-person iterations of GROW, we continue to hear how meaningful and even "life changing" this program is for many young adult participants, several of whom have returned repeatedly to participate in evolving iterations and who have stayed engaged with UUCSJ in other ways, including serving as paid facilitators and leaders of our emerging programs. And in June, we held our first in person GROW since the global pandemic began. The program was held in the Portland, OR area and flowed into community with the UUA's 2022 General Assembly (being hosted as a multiplatform event in Portland). Our experiences with this first in person programming since the pandemic began has already begun to influence our planning for what comes next. The UUA has put out a call to congregations to strengthen their ties with indigenous partners. The UUSC has center indigenous self-determination throughout the years. In support of these related priorities, UUCSJ has responded with the co-creation, collaboration, and curation of several programs and offerings, including Settler Colonialism 101 and Being a Good Relative. We continue to tend to our relationships with several indigenous leaders, including some already within the UU community. We support non-indigenous UUs in deepening their understanding of indigenous solidarity, allowing participants to expand their knowledge in multiple fronts and practice spiritually grounded justice activism. One of the major initiatives we continue to support is the UUA's UU the Vote Initiative. We have brought our skills to support the UU the Vote Legacy Fellowship program designed for Unitarian Universalist Young Adults and Black, Indigenous, and people of color Unitarian Universalists of all ages. The earlier success of UU the Vote initiative was the result of leaders engaging in multiple strategies and tactics, defined by partnerships with frontline communities and organizationsmany of which are led-by and organized young adults and BIPOC communities. The UU the Vote Legacy Fellowship is an investment in that leadership, supporting Fellows in the work of operationalizing their projects, developing skills and understanding of social justice organizing. We are glad to be a part of resourcing UUTV Legacy Fellows with learning and relationship building opportunities to ground their leadership in sustainable faith-based activism for justice. Our programs are supported by the UUCSJ Study Guide for Cross-Cultural Engagement and by adaptations to the Guide for different age groups. This guide is currently undergoing a revision to reflect our learning through this new global season. We live in emergent times and we are learning and teaching skills necessary to live lovingly and faithfully into the unknown on a journey towards collective liberation. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b The draft of the Form 990 is discussed and reviewed with the audit committee of the Board of Trustees for their comments, input and approval. All the members of the governing body receive either a hard copy or an electronic copy of the Form 990 before it is filed. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c UUSC regularly and consistently monitors and enforces compliance with the conflict of interest policy which covers all staff and the board of trustees. In doing so, all decisions (financial or non-financial) are scrutinized to ensure that they are not self-serving with respect to UUSC personnel or members of the board of trustees. Human Resources decides if a conflict of interest exists for UUSC personnel and elevates the matter to the President/CEO or the President of the board of trustees as appropriate. The board completes a conflict of interest form annually which is then shared with the full board. Any conflicted individual is prohibited from voting or making any decisions related to the matter. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 The compensation of the President/CEO is determined by the executive committee of the board of trustees, all of whom are independent of the President/CEO. The compensation is determined by reference to comparability data. The President/CEO's compensation is reviewed and potentially adjusted annually upon board approval. The organization maintains contemporaneous documentation of the deliberation and decision. Compensation for other officers is determined by the President/CEO. Such compensation is similarly determined by reference to comparability data. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 UUSC makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available to the public by publishing them on its website. Additionally, the Form 990 and financial statements are available through the Massachusetts Attorney General's website. Form 990, Part XI, line 9: Change in Value of Split-interest Gifts -59,372.
