| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM SERVICE: | SPECIAL INITIATIVES PROGRAM: IN RESPONSE TO THE SPRING 2020 UPRISINGS FOLLOWING THE MURDER OF GEORGE FLOYD, THE FUND RECEIVED AN OUTPOURING OF UNSOLICITED FINANCIAL SUPPORT, DRAMATICALLY INCREASING OUR BASE OF GRASSROOTS DONORS AND AMPLIFYING THE IMPACT OF OUR PUBLIC EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY WORK. WHILE WE UNDERSTOOD THIS SUPPORT TO BE AN AFFIRMATION OF TRUST AND CONFIDENCE IN OUR WORK, WE ALSO KNEW IT REFLECTED SUPPORT FOR THE MOVEMENT FOR BLACK LIVES. TO ENSURE THAT THESE UNSOLICITED FUNDS WERE DEPLOYED CONSISTENT WITH BOTH DONOR INTENT AND THE FUND'S MISSION, WE RE-GRANTED $4.6 MILLION: $2.3 MILLION ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO SUPPORT BAIL FOR DEMONSTRATORS, AND $2.3 MILLION TO SUPPORT BLACK-LED SOCIAL CHANGE TOWARD ENDING SYSTEMIC INEQUALITY AND RACISM. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B, DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM SERVICE: | IMMIGRATION BOND PROGRAM: THE FUND'S IMMIGRATION BOND PROGRAM WAS LAUNCHED IN 2018 IN PARTNERSHIP WITH AN ADVISORY COUNCIL OF COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS FIGHTING TO DISMANTLE OUR PUNITIVE IMMIGRATION AND DETENTION SYSTEMS. LEVERAGING THE EXPERTISE AND INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPED OVER FOUR YEARS AS A CHARITABLE BAIL FUND, THE FUND'S BOND PROGRAM PAYS IMMIGRATION BOND FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO ARE UNABLE TO AFFORD IT, REUNITES THEM WITH THEIR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES, AND PROVIDES URGENTLY NEEDED POST-RELEASE SUPPORT. MODELED AFTER OUR CLIENT SERVICES PROGRAM, WHICH SUPPORTED THE SELF-IDENTIFIED, POST-RELEASE NEEDS OF CLIENTS WE FREED FROM PRETRIAL DETENTION, OUR POST-RELEASE SUPPORT PROGRAM SUPPORTS THE POST-RELEASE NEEDS OF IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY MEMBERS FREED FROM ICE DETENTION. OURS IS A HOLISTIC INTERVENTION THAT OFFERS SERVICES ON A SELF-ELECTED, NEED-ONLY BASIS. SOME SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY THE POST-RELEASE TEAM IN-HOUSE. FOR CLIENTS WITH MORE SIGNIFICANT NEEDS, THE FUND CONNECTS CLIENTS WITH PARTNER COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICE PROVIDERS IN THE AREAS OF EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION, HOUSING AND COUNSELING. IN 2020, WE EXPANDED OUR EMERGENCY POST-RELEASE SUPPORT, DISTRIBUTING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN CASH ASSISTANCE, AS WELL AS PPE, METROCARDS, AND DIAPERS, AND CONNECTED COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH PRO BONO LEGAL SERVICES AND ONGOING MUTUAL AID THROUGH OUR PARTNER NETWORKS. IN ADDITION TO PAYING INDIVIDUAL BONDS, WE HARNESS THE PROGRAM'S RESULTS TO STRATEGICALLY INFLUENCE LARGER POLICY CONVERSATIONS. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C, DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM SERVICE: | CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROGRAM: THE FUND LEVERAGES ITS RESULTS, EXPERIENCE, AND PARTNERSHIPS TO ADVOCATE FOR LONG-TERM, TRANSFORMATIVE SYSTEMIC CHANGE. IN 2018, WE CO-LAUNCHED COURT WATCH NYC, A PROGRAM THAT TRAINS AND MOBILIZES A COMMUNITY OF 1,000+ VOLUNTEERS TO DOCUMENT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN NYC COURTROOMS. AT THE END OF 2019, COURT WATCH NYC BECAME AN IN-HOUSE PROGRAM OF THE FUND. BASED ON WHAT WE SAW EVERY DAY IN COURTS AND JAILS, THE FUND BECAME A LEADING VOICE IN STATEWIDE EFFORTS TO SECURE HISTORIC BAIL REFORM IN NEW YORK, EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2020. IN FEBRUARY 2021 WE LAUNCHED A PODCAST TO PROVIDE INSIGHT AND ANALYSIS FROM OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS, STAFF, AND ALLIES ABOUT THE UNJUST CRIMINAL LEGAL AND IMMIGRATION SYSTEMS, AND THE WORK WE'RE DOING TO DISMANTLE THEM. JUST LIKE OUR WORK COURT WATCHING AND PREVIOUSLY PAYING BAIL, THE FUND HARNESSES ON-THE-GROUNDWORK PAYING IMMIGRATION BOND INTO DIRECT ACTION AND PUBLIC EDUCATION CAMPAIGNS TO ILLUMINATE THAT THE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT REGIME HARMS, RATHER THAN PROTECTS, OUR COMMUNITIES. |
