Mission and programs · 2024

• Public Education- America Walks educates the public about walking and walkability. We serve as a public voice for walking and walkability in the media, by providing information and resources to individuals and organizations that sign up for our publications and social media. America Walks provides training and technical assistance to local and state advocates through webinars, discussion forums, and workshops. During 2024, we provided online training and workshops to roughly 1,200 individuals. We maintain an active presence on social media providing information to local community champions focused on creating safe, accessible, equitable places to walk and move. We answer technical assistance questions weekly from our network of over 40,000 individuals and organizations.

• Training and technical assistance - Community Change Grants - America Walks awarded 21 grants through our 2024-2025 Community Change Grant program. This program supports local, grassroots efforts to create safe, accessible, and enjoyable places to walk and be physically active for all community members. Since its beginning in 2015, this grant program has provided funds for more than a hundred projects demonstrating the creativity and passion of walking and moving champions across the us. Of the 21 grantees, 15 were awarded thorough funding from our partnership with General Motors and 6 from our Centers for Disease Control and Prevention funding. AARP LC-TAP and Community Challenge Grant Technical Assistance- AARP engaged America Walks to deliver technical assistance, including one-on-one coaching, webinars, and other supports, to AARP Community Challenge Grantees that receive capacity-building microgrants to conduct walk audits in their communities. This work consisted of a kick-off webinar, over 40 individual coaching calls, 10 peer-group discussions, and final wrap-up/celebration webinar held In December 2024. We additionally obtained technical assistance from the Walk2Connect team. For AARP LC-TAP, this was our first year completing this program and we engaged with 17 AARP state offices for walk audit focused technical assistance (virtual and in-person workshops).

• Walking college - We graduated 20 fellows from our 2024 national walking college class, and they join the network of 200+ graduates. This leadership program is open annually to those looking to hone their skills and knowledge around creating vibrant, safe, accessible communities for all people, regardless of age, race, income level or physical ability. Participants, paired with experienced leaders in the field and peers working in similar capacities across the country, learn about the historical underpinnings of the car-centric transportation landscape and the basics of design and policy that foster safe, inclusive, accessible design for non-motorized transportation while developing essential leadership skills. Over the course of the program, they also create a blueprint for taking action on a particular problem in their community.

As filed on the 2024 return.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
