Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C
“First focus reviews all contracts and agreements for connections to the board members. If a conflict were identified, it would be reported to the president, who would in turn bring the conflict to the board of directors.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15
“The staff of first focus is employed by america's promise. The audit & finance committee of america's promise approves the use of a bi-annual salary compensation survey based on at least three independent surveys. The audit committee, serving as the compensation committee, reviews and approves the compensation of the officers and key employees based on an annual report derived from at least three independent surveys prepared and presented to the audit & finance committee. The compensation committee approves the use of the survey data. The decision is documented in the minutes of the audit & finance/compensation committee.”

| IRS990/Desc | 0 | ADVOCACY:STRATEGIC RESEARCH - RECOGNIZING THAT A SOLID UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROBLEMS FACING OUR CHILDREN IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS SOLVING THEM, FIRST FOCUS PRODUCES RESEARCH AND ANALYTIC REPORTS THAT HIGHLIGHT ISSUES, EXPLAIN IMPACTS, AND ILLUSTRATE SOLUTIONS. FIRST FOCUS ENGAGES NOTED SOCIAL POLICY RESEARCHERS AND EXPERTS TO EXAMINE ISSUES AFFECTING CHILDREN FROM MULTIPLE POINTS OF VIEW TO CREATE INNOVATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS. THROUGH OUR RESEARCH, WE SEEK TO DEVELOP CLEAR EVIDENCE AND BUILD A SOLID RESEARCH FOUNDATION TO SUPPORT THE POLICY PROPOSALS ON WHICH WE ADVOCATE.FEDERAL ADVOCACY - FIRST FOCUS ADVOCATES FOR LEGISLATION THAT BETTER REFLECTS POLICYMAKING FROM A "WHOLE CHILD" PERSPECTIVE, RESPONDING TO GAPS IN THE FEDERAL POLICY ARENA. FIRST FOCUS'S PERSPECTIVE STEMS FROM THE REALITY THAT THE MOST EFFECTIVE POLICIES FOR CHILDREN OFTEN ARE THOSE THAT REACH ACROSS POLICY SILOS. FIRST FOCUS RECOGNIZES AND APPRECIATES THE MULTIDIMENSIONAL NATURE OF CHILDREN'S LIVES. FOR EXAMPLE, ALL ASPECTS OF A CHILD'S LIFE: QUALITY OF EDUCATION, ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE, AND EXPOSURE TO CHRONIC POVERTY, CHILD ABUSE OR LEAD POISONING ARE INTERLINKED, AND IN TURN, POLICIES TO ADDRESS THEM SHOULD BE DESIGNED TO INTEGRATE SERVICES WHERE APPROPRIATE. THEREFORE, FIRST FOCUS IS COMMITTED TO PURSUING A CROSS SECTOR APPROACH TO POLICYMAKING TO ENSURE THAT FEDERAL POLICIES ARE ABLE TO MEET THE DYNAMIC NEEDS OF CHILDREN.STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS - ONE OF THE UNIQUE CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE FIRST FOCUS TO THE CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY COMMUNITY IS ITS COMMUNICATIONS EXPERTISE. FIRST FOCUS WORKS TO LEAD THE CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY COMMUNITY IN MESSAGING, ADVERTISING, AND E-COMMUNICATIONS. FIRST FOCUS HAS BUILT STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH REPORTERS FROM OUTLETS ACROSS THE NATION. WE UTILIZE THOSE RELATIONSHIPS TO PITCH STORY IDEAS, PROVIDE EXPERT POLICY ANALYSIS/COMMENTARY, AND PRODUCE OP-EDS AND LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. IN ADDITION TO OUR RAPID RESPONSE CAPACITY, FIRST FOCUS HAS GARNERED A REPUTATION FOR PRODUCING EYE CATCHING, INNOVATIVE, AND THOUGHT PROVOKING ADVERTISEMENTS. WE CONTINUOUSLY SEEK TO ENHANCE OUR CAPACITY TO BE A RESOURCE TO ADVOCATES, POLICYMAKERS, THE MEDIA, AND THE PUBLIC.GRASSROOTS ADVOCACY - TO CREATE A STRONG, UNIFIED, AND CREDIBLE VOICE ON CHILD AND FAMILY POLICY, THE FIRST FOCUS GAUGES INFLUENTIAL INDIVIDUALS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND POLICYMAKERS IN THE STATES. OUR STATE ADVOCACY EFFORT CONSISTS OF WORKING WITH DIVERSE STATE COALITIONS IN AN EFFORT TO PRESS FOR IMPROVED PUBLIC POLICIES FOR CHILDREN. FIRST FOCUS ENGAGES STATE GRANTEES BY COLLABORATING ON LEGISLATIVE AND POLICY SIGN ON LETTERS, BY PLACING STATE AND LOCAL OP-EDS AND LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, BY HELPING TO LEVERAGE STATE LEADERS' RELATIONSHIPS WITH MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND CONGRESSIONAL STAFF, AND BY ASSISTING IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMON COMMUNICATIONS AND MESSAGING FOR CHILDREN'S GROUPS. FURTHERMORE, WE PROVIDE OUR STATE AFFILIATES WITH "ACTION ALERTS" AS WELL AS RESOURCES AND INFORMATION DEVELOPED BY FIRST FOCUS. |
