Form 990 for tax year 2023

Filed by AMERICAN NONSMOKERS RIGHTS FOUNDATION.

What the amendment changed

Compared with the return it replaced , filed 7 November 2024. matched by us Only the return's totals, a 990-PF's accounting method and the names listed in Part VII (Part VIII on a 990-PF) are compared. We relate returns by organization, tax year and form, and order them by each return's own timestamp; the filer's own "amended return" checkbox is a separate fact.

Those are the same on the two returns, so the amendment changed something else.

Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

The organization's primary exempt purpose is to promote nonsmoking as the norm through smoking prevention, education programs, information dissemination, technical assistance and training.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The organization informed, educated and provided technical assistance to tobacco control leaders, governmental and non-governmental agencies, the media, educators, parents and the general public about smokefree air and secondhand smoke issues through its website, newsletters and bulletins, listservs, individualized technical assistance, presentations, trainings and public speaking engagements at video conferences and video seminars throughout the country.ANRF also analyzed tobacco law documents which resulted in new data being inputted into its U.S. Tobacco Control Laws Database. Reports and data runs from the database were used to assist researchers, communicate smokefree trends and the status of smokefree laws to the media and the public. This program also collected and catalogued new documents for inclusion in the organization's expanded Tobacco Industry Tracking Database and related website.

  • PUBLIC INFORMATION AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCEThe ANR Foundation seeks to educate the public about the health effects of secondhand smoke and the benefits of smokefree environments. These services are designed to build capacity and infrastructure within local communities and states in order to assist them with their smoking prevention efforts. We inform and educate tobacco control leaders, the media, educators, parents, and the general public about secondhand smoke issues through phone and e-mail contact, teleconferences, presentations and trainings, music media and music festivals, social media and dissemination of publications.Website: The ANR Foundation maintained a comprehensive website,which provided information and resources for smokefree air. The site features daily updates of smokefree news from around the globe, scientific studies demonstrating the dangers of secondhand smoke, tracking of tobacco industry interference, and analysis of tobacco control policies. Additionally, the site provided downloadable guides, toolkits, and model ordinances to assist people and communities in creating and implementing smokefree policies.Newsletter/Bulletins: ANRF provided content for newsletters, bulletins and similar communications. Content includds up-to-date information on trends in smokefree air, emerging scientific evidence on the health effects of secondhand smoke, national and international news,tobacco industry interference, smokefree legislation updates, and our analyses of tobacco control efforts. In cooperation with ANR, newsletters and bulletins were distributed nationally, electronically and by regular mail. In 2023, two printed newsletters were distributed to supporters nationally, a total of 2,083 were mailed.Emails sent: ANRF provides a daily news service email to supporters, a weekly research update, a monthly news bulletin, and provides alerts on policy activity nationally. Daily secondhand smoke and related tobacco control topics and weekly research reports - 59,248; policy alerts -26,143; ebulletin, monthly enews - 83,572. Total emails sent were 274,188.The following were ANRF's achievements62.3% of the population is now protected by 100% smokefree air policies coveringworkplaces, restaurants and bars.2,599 Colleges and Universities are now protected by smokefree policies entirecampus, both indoors and out. 2,162 of them are completely tobacco free and 2,233 prohibit the use of e-cigarettes anywhere on campus. 1,217 also prohibit hookah use, and 571 also prohibit smoking/vaping marijuana.4,172 Hospitals are protected by smokefree policies covering the entire campus, both indoors and out. In addition, at least 431 Nursing Facilities are protected by smokefree policies everywhere indoors. U.S. Tobacco Control Laws Database: In 2023, the number of municipality records in the database increased to close to 5,975, representing There are close to 19,967 laws in total in the database. Staff analyzed 1,240 laws in 2023 that were new to the Database, and reanalyzed countless more laws to add or amend existing coverage. Smokefree Multi-unit Housing: 101 cities and counties have enacted municipallaws that regulate smoking in private units of multi-unit housing, of which 51jurisdictions meet the best practice standard of requiring all rented and owned multiunit residential properties with 2 or more units to be 100% smokefree indoors for all types of smoking and vaping. 84 of the jurisdictions require that the specified type of multi-unit housing they cover is required to be 100% smokefree indoors. All Public Housing Agencies are required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to have a 100% smokefree policy in place for all public housing properties as of July 31, 2018.2023 LIBRARY & WEBSITE STATSLibrary Tobacco Database: Program staff collected and cataloged 229 new documents for inclusion in the organizations library and updated 1849 existing documents' records. In 2023, reduced and new staffing necessitated different priorities and tasks for the library. Media Contacts: 153 unique news clips related to smokefree air & tobacco issues, with some clips picked up by other news agencies for a minimum of 193 clips.

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.
