THROUGH THE NARRATIVE INNOVATORS LAB, WE PROVIDED SIX-MONTHS OF TRAINING AND SUPPORT TO 10 SOCIAL JUSTICE LEADERS AND 7 ARTISTS TO DEVELOP NARRATIVE AND CULTURAL INTERVENTIONS TO ADVANCE A MULTIRACIAL SOCIETY. WE WORKED WITH GRASSROOTS PARTNERS TO LAUNCH CAMPAIGNS IN GEORGIA, LOUISIANA, AND NEW YORK TO DEEPEN CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AMONG COMMUNITIES OF COLOR AND SHIFT NARRATIVES TOWARD A SOCIETY WELCOMING TO IMMIGRANTS, MIGRANTS, AND REFUGEES. WE HELD OUR 12TH CREATIVE CHANGE RETREAT BRINGING TOGETHER LEADING ARTISTS, ENTERTAINERS, ADVOCATES, FUNDERS, AND CULTURAL STRATEGISTS TO CREATE ART AND CULTURAL STRATEGIES FOR CHANGE.

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.
