Youth LEADS (Leverage, Energize, and Define Solutions) is a Biden Foundation initiative to combat gender-based violence among youth by providing young leaders with the platforms, network, and organizational support they need to create change.

Today, more than half of all postsecondary learners attend community COLLEGES - INSTITUTIONS UNIQUELY SUITED TO MEET THE DIVERSE NEEDS OF TODAY'S STUDENTS - TO PURSUE AN EDUCATION WHILE WORKING FULL time and supporting their families. The Foundation will support these distinctly American institutions, where anyone who walks through the door is one step closer to the American Dream. 465707 20000 SUPPORTING MILITARY FAMILIES The Foundation focused on military spouse employment, working to connect military spouses with career opportunities. It also led efforts to support military children: Operation Educate the educators, in partnership with the military child education Coalition and the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, directly engages educators to create learning environments that meet the needs of military families and children. 511350 375000 2966209 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false 22 0 true 16 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 8 8 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true true true false false CA CO DE DC FL GA IL MD MA NY OH PA VA WA X X LOUISA TERRELL 2025591800 1440 G ST NW Washington DC 20005 VALERIE BIDEN OWENS Vice Chair 5.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Jeffrey Peck Vice Chair & Treasurer 5.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 TED KAUFMAN CHAIR 10.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Mark Gitenstein President 5.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Mark Angelson Vice Chair & Secretary 5.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 MICAELA FERNANDEZ ALLEN director 5.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 NICOLE ISAAC director 5.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 DARLA POMEROY director 5.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 LOUISA TERRELL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.0 0.0 X 220691 0 34202 Mala Adiga Dir of Higher Ed & Military Fa 40.0 0.0 X 176144 0 7046 SARAH L Rosenthal Dir for Viol Agst Women Init 40.0 0.0 X 139261 0 16443 Emily hecht-mcgowan DIR FOR EQUALITY & LGBT POLICY 40.0 0.0 X 136350 0 8784 672446 0 66475 4 false true false perkins coie llp 1201 third ave ste 4900 SEATTLE WA 98101 legal 120000 benjamin harris 2200 wilson blvd st 102-145 ARLINGTON VA 22201 program consulting 152900 anthony r bernal 1717 Pennsylvania Ave NW Ste 1100 WASHINGTON DC 20006 program consulting 104000 3 3252814 3252814 0 43299 43299 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3296113 43299 480425 480425 0 0 0 220690 187681 10964 22045 0 920903 771168 49735 100000 34929 28427 1991 4511 0 80157 80157 0 120000 52493 67507 100498 5398 94468 632 0 30000 30000 0 913414 886359 27055 0 0 40648 32334 6041 2273 28875 14927 12239 1709 0 154574 131429 7748 15397 185423 160089 22895 2439 0 12741 9753 2988 0 0 34744 34744 78752 52196 20857 5699 MEALS 13956 8902 3746 1308 LICENSES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 36867 29727 7140 3487596 2966209 335374 186013 3743444 3743637 0 0 157537 2000 21375 21375 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 14059 17580 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 72383 37639 0 0 4008798 3822231 91534 96450 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 91534 96450 X 3917264 3725781 0 0 0 0 3917264 3725781 4008798 3822231 -191483 X false true X true false X 0 0 3401100 3222073 3252814 9875987 0 0 0 0 3401100 3222073 3252814 9875987 5706939 4169048 329 1010 43299 44638 0 0 9920625 X 3313274 17161 17161 3296113 3296113 3504757 17161 17161 3487596 3487596 true military child education coalition 909 mountain lion circle harker heights TX 76548 742889416 501(c)(3) 20000 support NATIONAL COUNCIL OF YMCA OF THE USA 301 N WACKER DR STE 1600 CHICAGO IL 60606 560591307 501(c)(3) 375000 support MEN CAN STOP RAPE 1130 6TH STREET NW SUITE 100 WASHINGTON DC 20001 522007652 501(c)(3) 16325 support ACHIEVING THE DREAM 8403 COLESVILLE RD SUITE 450 SILVER SPRING MD 20910 271635830 501(c)(3) 20000 support YWCA USA 1020 19TH ST NW SUITE 750 WASHINGTON DC 20001 131624103 501(c)(3) 35100 support 5 Schedule I, Line 2 The Biden Foundation works closely with its grant recipients to create initiatives that align with its exempt purpose.

BIDEN'S LIFELONG COMMITMENT TO PROTECT AND ADVANCE THE RIGHTS AND OPPORTUNITIES OF ALL PEOPLE THROUGH EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING AND PUBLIC POLICY ANALYSIS. INITIALLY, THE FOUNDATION'S AREAS OF FOCUS WILL BE: FOREIGN POLICY, THE CANCER INITIATIVE, COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND MILITARY FAMILIES, PROTECTING CHILDREN, EQUALITY, VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN & STRENGTHENING THE MIDDLE CLASS. VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS PLAYED A UNIQUE ROLE IN OUR COUNTRY THROUGHOUT HIS YEARS OF PUBLIC SERVICE. HE HAS CHAMPIONED - AND WILL CONTINUE TO CHAMPION - PROGRESS AND PROSPERITY FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES. THE BIDEN FOUNDATION BUILDS UPON THAT MISSION: TO IDENTIFY POLICIES THAT ADVANCE THE MIDDLE CLASS, DECREASE ECONOMIC INEQUALITY AND INCREASE OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL PEOPLE. IN ADDITION, THE FOUNDATION WILL WORK TO ENSURE THAT EVERYONE - NO MATTER THEIR INCOME LEVEL, RACE, GENDER, AGE OR SEXUALITY - IS TREATED EQUALLY AND GETS A FAIR SHOT AT ACHIEVING THE AMERICAN DREAM. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES ENSURING LGBTQ EQUALITY In America, everyone is entitled to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of who they are or whom they love. Over the past decade, we've made remarkable progress on the journey toward full equality. LGBTQ people are now protected by a federal hate crimes law, no longer banned from serving in the military, and free to marry nationwide. But important work remains if we are to achieve equality for all Americans. Vice President Joe Biden has played a unique role throughout his years of public service, championing progress and prosperity for all. The Biden Foundation will build on that work, continuing Joe's fight for equality that began in the civil rights era and extends to his leadership on LGBTQ equality today. STRENGTHENING THE MIDDLE CLASS Joe Biden believes in the American middle class. To him, the middle class is not only the economic engine of America, but its also the glue that holds the social fabric of this nation together. Hes fought his whole CAREER TO GIVE PEOPLE IN ALL COMMUNITIES - LIKE THE ONES HE AND DR.BIDEN GREW UP IN - A FAIR SHOT AT ACHIEVING THEIR DREAMS. AND HE KNOWS THAT IF you give all Americans a fighting chance, they can do extraordinary things. Middle class families have made incredible progress, but theres more work to do. Thats why we launched the Biden Forum. The Biden Forum is an online conversation devoted to you: the American middle class and those working hard to get there. The Forum features diverse viewpoints from industry leaders, innovators, elected officials, and American workers from every corner. We are spotlighting local initiatives from communities across the country and providing a platform for everyday people to share their ideas.
