Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part III, Line 4D

Program Service Expenses 53,448, Grants and allocations 0, Revenue 0 OTHER PROGRAMS Legal Office Hours - Other organizations that do mission-aligned work can get free legal counsel for compliance support through WCA AF. 5 organizations received a cumulative total of about 21 hours of legal support. Media and Newsletter - We produce a newsletter with political education, legislative content, and other mission-aligned information sent to about 1200 recipients. We also support partners in writing and publishing op-eds that are supportive of our work in local media outlets.

Form 990, Part IX, Line 11G

Other contract expenses included facilitation, consulting, data and research

Form 990, Part III, Line 2

We began a new program, the Data Hub, which is a data-driven resource hub, supporting a network of community-based organizations througout the state in their civic engagement and electoral work. We provide accessible research, responsive technical assistance, and strategic coordination to strengthen their voter contact programs, promote high-participation elections, and elect progressive BIPOC candidates who represent their constituents.

Form 990, Part III, Line 3

We did not continue doing direct voter contact work, as the addition of the Data Hub program is a pivot to providing technical support to organizations that do outreach.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Program Service Expenses 53,448, Grants and allocations 0, Revenue 0 OTHER PROGRAMS Legal Office Hours - Other organizations that do mission-aligned work can get free legal counsel for compliance support through WCA AF. 5 organizations received a cumulative total of about 21 hours of legal support. Media and Newsletter - We produce a newsletter with political education, legislative content, and other mission-aligned information sent to about 1200 recipients. We also support partners in writing and publishing op-eds that are supportive of our work in local media outlets.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1The 990 is emailed to the board of directors and presented to them in a board meeting before it is filed. Input is incorporated if needed.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2Once a year, the board and staff are requested to review the policy and disclose any conflicts of interest.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4Other contract expenses included facilitation, consulting, data and research
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt5The salary of the ED was approved by the board. Salaries of other employees were approved by the board.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt6We began a new program, the Data Hub, which is a data-driven resource hub, supporting a network of community-based organizations througout the state in their civic engagement and electoral work. We provide accessible research, responsive technical assistance, and strategic coordination to strengthen their voter contact programs, promote high-participation elections, and elect progressive BIPOC candidates who represent their constituents.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt7We did not continue doing direct voter contact work, as the addition of the Data Hub program is a pivot to providing technical support to organizations that do outreach.
