IRS990/Desc0Since TAP launched in September 2020, we have: (1) Launched our inaugural Mentorship Program, which created meaningful networking and mentorship opportunities for over 200 law students with some of the most prolific Supreme Court and appellate litigators around the country. In our first eight months, TAP students have obtained highly competitive appellate internships, fellowships, and clerkships (including federal appellate clerkships). Read more about the impact of the Mentorship Program at theappellateproject.org/testimonials. (2) Hosted educational and networking events on appellate practice and clerkships for law students of color around the country, including at Howard University, North Carolina Central University, University of Michigan, UDC Law, University of Southern California, Columbia Law School, Rutgers, and Harvard. (3) Raised awareness about appellate cases disproportionately impacting communities of color. This included two panel discussions of the First Circuit argument in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, featuring lawyers of color who represented the parties, and our conversation with the lead attorney in the No-Fly List case before the Supreme Court, Tanzin v. Tanvir. (4) Represented TAP and discussed the importance of a racially diverse appellate bar on panels and conferences around the country. (5) Developed partnerships with leading appellate organizations and racial justice organizations in the legal field and appellate groups around the country. (6) Received extensive coverage in media outlets including The National Law Journal, Bloomberg Law, Strict Scrutiny, Legal Talk Network, and Ms. JD.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Our board will review the draft of the 990 sent by the preparer.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1Each board member is required to annually review and re-sign the COI policy.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2The board engaged in extensive research on ED salaries for nonprofits of similar size and budget, as well as EDs with similar levels of experience. An independent consultant was also consulted, who provided comparable data as well. The board then deliberated and voted independent of the ED on the salary.
