Mission

HEARD IS A CROSS-DISABILITY ABOLITIONIST ORGANIZATION THAT UNITES ACROSS IDENTITIES, COMMUNITIES, MOVEMENTS, AND BORDERS TO END ABLEISM, RACISM, CAPITALISM, AND ALL OTHER FORMS OF OPPRESSION AND VIOLENCE. HEARD SUPPORTS DISABLED PEOPLE AND OTHERS WHO EXPERIENCE ABLEISM BY REJECTING DISABILITY HIERARCHIES AND RIGID DEFINITIONS OF DISABILITY, AND BY RECOGNIZING DEAF PEOPLE AS PART OF DISABILITY COMMUNITIES. HEARD WORKS TO INCREASE OUR COLLECTIVE CAPACITY TO IDENTIFY, UNDERSTAND, AND CHALLENGE OPPRESSION THROUGH GRASSROOTS ADVOCACY, COMMUNITY ORGANIZING, PEER SUPPORT, MUTUAL AID, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH.

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

People paid by the organization

3 people paid across every filing: current people first, then by total pay from this organization. Organizations counts every nonprofit each person appears on.

Officers and directors, no compensation reported

12 people listed on the returns with $0 (or no amount) in every compensation column: current people first. Hours are as filed on the latest return each person appears on.

People by year

Highest-paid independent contractors

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Funders of this organization

20 grantors reported grants to this organization, $2,699,608 in all, tax years 2017 to 2024. Exact: the grantor wrote this organization's EIN. Fuzzy: the grantor wrote only a name (foundations' 990-PF has no EIN field), matched to the same or a near-identical name in the same state; the name as filed is shown. From the latest return for each grantor and year, so amended returns aren't counted twice. CSV

Similar organizations

Ranked without any AI: same NTEE code first, then the same NTEE group; then revenue within 2x, 5x or 10x; then the same state; then similar name and mission text. Same state only · More (100)

Who funds organizations like this

Grantors that funded the 100 most similar organizations. Ranked by total given to them. Foundations (990-PF) and donor-advised fund sponsors only. Same matching as Funders above (by EIN, or by name for foundations).

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
