Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Columbia Legal Services advocates for laws that advance social, economic, and racial equity for people living in poverty.

We hold ourselves, government agencies, businesses, and other actors accountable to the root causes of racism and their manifestation in unfair treatment and inequitable access to resources, power, and opportunities based on race. We advocate for laws that advance social, economic and racial equity through a model of community engagement and movement lawyering using the legal tools of policy, advocacy and impact litigation. We imagine a world where (1) we are all free and not caged in prisons, jails, or immigration detention; (2) have equitable rights and benefits regardless of our incarceration or immigration status; and (3) are able to exercise our collective power to build and support healthy, economically stable, and vibrant communities.

Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

The audit budget committee (abc) reviews the draft of the form 990, and resolves any issue that comes to their attention. After the abc committee has completed their review, the form 990 in pdf format is sent to all board members for comment. After the board comment period, the form 990 is signed by the board president.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

The board reviews the conflict of interest policy on a periodic basis. The policy is monitored periodically by the board for any perceived or actual conflicts of individual board members. If a board member discloses a conflict of interest, the board president would be notified and he or she would request that the board member recuse himself (herself) from participating or voting on matters relating to the conflict of interest.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

We engage a firm who specializes in determining compensation and provide them with the required data from which they compare to their relevant market data. Data is presented to the governance committee which makes a recommendation to the board. The board discusses in executive session and votes. The executive director is informed of the changes in the compensation and instructs the finance director to implement the change.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

The organization makes the governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available upon request in writing.

Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART IV, LINE 2B:

Cls routinely receives client funds which are held in pooled trust accounts until such time as the funds are needed for costs or when they are disbursed to the clients as part of a settlement. The amounts in these pooled trust accounts are recorded as an asset with a corresponding liability. Cls has no interest in or rights to these funds. During 2008, cls entered into an agreement with the legal foundation of washington to administer settlement funds for certain law-related charitable and educational purposes. These funds are being held in a separate bank account and distributed as agreed. The amounts held for others are recorded as an asset with a corresponding liability. Cls has no interest in or rights to these funds.

PART X, LINE 2:

The organization is exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. The organization qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under section 170(b)(1)(a)(vi) and has been classified as an organization other than a private foundation under section 509(a)(1).
