“FAIR requests that all key employees, as well as Board Directors, review the federal Form 990 upon draft. Unless changes are requested, the federal Form 990 is finalized and signed by the President before filing with the Internal Revenue Service.”
“FAIR monitors and enforces compliance with the conflict of interest policy on an individual basis. FAIR asks that all employees disclose any activities that would create a conflict of interest. FAIR can then decide on what type of action to take. If FAIR becomes aware of a conflict of interest, such as an outside activity of a staff member, the staff member will either end employment with FAIR or cease the activity.”
“Compensation of the President is reviewed by the Board of Directors at its first meeting each year. Comparability data, performance, and industry salary trend articles and studies are reviewed and deliberated upon by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors makes any recommended changes to current and/or future compensation. The review is done in Feburary on an annual basis.”
“FAIR's federal Form 990 and conflict of interest policy are available upon request. Audited financial statements along with the federal Form 990 are also available via FAIR's website and included in FAIR's Annual Report.”
“FAIR has received donated collections consisting of works of art. The donated collections were capitalized at the appraised fair value as of the date of the acceptance of the donation. The artwork collections are not depreciated. The theme of the artwork is immigration related.”
“The Swensrud Endowment Fund represents resources contributed by outside organizations and persons for the purpose of providing a permanent source of income to FAIR. These resources are from contributions in which donors' stipulations require the contributions to be held in perpetuity, and only the income be used for operating purposes. The investment income earned by the Swensrud Endowment Fund is recorded directly in the Swensrud Endowment Earnings Fund of temporarily restricted net assets, as required by the District of Columbia's Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (UPMIFA). The Swensrud Memorial Internship Fund was established in 1996 and represents resources contributed by outside organizations and persons for the purpose of establishing a permanent corpus for an internship program in the memory of Sidney Swensrud. These resources are from contributions from donors that have stipulated that the contribution must be held in perpetuity and only the income shall be used to fund an internship program.”
“FAIR performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions for the year ended December 31, 2016, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the consolidated financial statements or that may have any effect on its tax-exempt status.”

| IRS990/Desc | 0 | Media - In 2016, FAIR expanded its digital footprint to include more than 70,000 Twitter followers and 1,000,000 Facebook fans. FAIR grew its online membership through paid and organic targeted advertising initiatives. In April, FAIR ran a campaign to educate the public about the U.S. vs. Texas Supreme Court case. This timely campaign ran from April until the Supreme Court's decision in June and consisted of: a resource page with action items, Facebook ads, Twitter ads, pre-roll ads, op-ed promotion, and educational video and display ads. The campaign definitely placed pressure on the court to do their duty because it resulted in over 60,000,000 impressions, 2,400,000 million video views, and 810,000 clicks. Thanks to FAIR's efforts, the court heard from the public. The justices ruled 4-4 in U.S. v. Texas and sent the case back to the district court with the amnesty bar intact! FAIR also created a series of 100 videos to expose the Obama Administration's immigration policy sabotage. The videos explain point-by-point what the administration did and when it did it. With almost 45,000,000 impressions and 10,000,000 video views, this was one of FAIR's most popular campaigns in 2016. Additionally, inspired by the needless deaths of Kate Steinle, Sarah Root and other victims of illegal alien crime, FAIR crafted a heartbreaking video series to bring attention to the dangers of illegal immigration. The campaign received nearly 20,000,000 impressions and was a hot topic throughout the year. FAIR looks forward to expanding its digital footprint even further in 2017. |

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc | 0 | Government relations - 2016 was a presidential election year so FAIR's Government Relations Department devoted most of its time educating the public on the immigration positions of the major candidates. Throughout the first half of the year, Government Relations analyzed the immigration platforms of the candidates seeking the Republican and Democratic nominations and posted them on a landing page dedicated to the 2016 election cycle. Additionally, the Department directly distributed this content to FAIR's membership before their states' primary or caucus. Once Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton secured their respective party's nominations, the Department provided a side-by-side comparison of their positions, quoting directly from published platforms and some quotes from the campaign trail. Government Relations also apprised the public and Members of Congress of developments in U.S. v. Texas, the 26 state lawsuit challenging President Obama's expansion of DACA and creation of DAPA. Throughout the year, the Department worked with Capitol Hill staff in both the House and Senate to include immigration enforcement provisions in various appropriations (government funding) bills. Specifically, Government Relations aided Rep. John Culberson to deny certain law enforcement grants to sanctuary cities. Additionally, Government Relations again produced materials to thwart an effort to include a military amnesty (known as the ENLIST Act) in the National Defense Authorization Act. Finally, after Trump's surprise victory, Government Relations collaborated with several other FAIR departments on a transition document to send to the new administration with policy recommendations that reflect the national interest. In addition to being FAIR's representative on Capitol Hill, Government Relations also contributed to FAIR's grassroots efforts, issuing alerts and talking points to members and activists in critical times throughout the year. Moreover, Government Relations provided a critical support role to FAIR as a whole, helping other departments dissect and analyze legislation as well as the changes in immigration law through the executive action. Government Relations also helped FAIR further its educational mission by issuing a weekly legislative update to members, as well as producing content for FAIR's blog to help inform members and activists on the latest immigration news. State and Local - In 2016, FAIR's State and Local Department educated state and local lawmakers and their staff around the country on a variety of critical immigration issues. In particular, State and Local spent a significant amount of time working on draft legislation, research, and educational materials pertaining to refugee resettlement, as well as providing draft legislation and guidance on sanctuary cities and immigration detainers. To further FAIR's mission of educating state and local lawmakers and activists on sound immigration policy, the State and Local Department produced its first ever legislative agenda, serving as a primer and tool for state and local lawmakers and activists to promote and implement true immigration reform. This agenda was of particular value as immigration remained front and center in the media, and lawmakers began preparing for new legislative sessions in 2017. The State and Local Department also provided critical assistance to other departments within FAIR, including drafting and issuing alerts, talking points, legislative and issue analysis, and legislation for FAIR's Field Department, as well as reviewing op-eds and other materials for FAIR's Media Department. State and Local also did its part to assist in FAIR's overall educational mission by contributing a significant number of blogs and articles to the website discussing legislation and current events impacting the state and local level. |

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc | 0 | Public education - FAIR reaches people across America (and around the world) to inform and educate them about immigration's impact on national security, public safety, the economy, and natural resources. In 2016, FAIR continued to provide insight, perspective, and clarity on the myriad social issues affected by immigration. FAIR published topical reports, factsheets, issue briefs, and blog posts, which were distributed widely via print, web and a variety of other digital platforms. FAIR's original research continues to serve as the foundation for outreach efforts, providing the factual analysis at the root of our print, radio and television appearances, as well as our social media and grassroots activities. The resources FAIR makes available via its website are sought after by Federal agencies, legislators, law enforcement officials, activists, students, journalists, other researchers, and the general public. An integral part of FAIR's public education and outreach is its Immigration Internship program. Students selected to participate receive immersive education on immigration issues as well as experience in conducting public policy advocacy. In addition, FAIR regularly addresses middle school, high school, and college groups to discuss its research and provide guidance to students conducting their own research for school projects, term papers and dissertations. |
