• RCUSA STRENGTHENS THE COLLECTIVE POWER AND EFFECTIVENESS OF ITS MEMBERS AND PARTNERS IN DELIVERING RESPONSIVE, EQUITY-FOCUSED POLICIES AND PROGRAMS AND DRIVING SYSTEMIC CHANGE. RCUSA CARRIES OUT THIS WORK BY PROVIDING A NUMBER OF ONGOING PLATFORMS FOR OUR MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS TO COORDINATE ADVOCACY, COMMUNICATIONS, AND RESETTLEMENT OPERATIONS, INCLUDING THROUGH CONVENING OF MONTHLY OR BIWEEKLY MEETINGS OF MEMBER-LED, STAFF FACILITATED COMMITTEES AND WORKING GROUPS. RCUSA ALSO FACILITATES PERIODIC IN-PERSON AND VIRTUAL MEETINGS WITH US GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, AND HOSTS RCUSA POLICY CENTER WEBINARS ON KEY TOPICS OF INTEREST TO OUR MEMBERSHIP. TO BE CONTINUTED ON SCHEDULE OIN EARLY 2024, THROUGH OUR INTERACTION WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, RCUSA HELPED UNLOCK $82 MILLION IN ADDITIONAL FEDERAL FUNDING FOR REFUGEE HOUSING. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, RCUSA ADVOCATES FOR MEASURES TO IMPROVE AND EXPAND RESETTLEMENT, ASYLUM, HUMANITARIAN PROTECTION, AND INCLUSION FOR FORCIBLY DISPLACED POPULATIONS. A HIGHLIGHT OF THIS WORK IS OUR ANNUAL NATIONAL ADVOCACY DAYS EVENT, RCUSA BRINGS CONSTITUENTS FROM ACROSS THE UNITED STATES TO WASHINGTON DC TO SPEAK TO MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND THEIR STAFFS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF REFUGEE PROTECTION AND THE VITAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF RESETTLED REFUGEES, ASYLEES, AND OTHER FORMERLY DISPLACED PERSONS TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTY. IN MAY 2024, RCUSA'S NATIONAL ADVOCACY DAYS DREW SOME 300 CONSTITUENT-ADVOCATES FROM 35 STATES, ABOUT HALF OF THEM WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE OF FORCED DISPLACEMENT, TO MEETINGS WITH 147 CONGRESSIONAL OFFICES. DURING ADVOCACY DAYS, MORE THAN 100 FORMERLY DISPLACED PERSONS ALSO PARTICIPATED IN A DAY-LONG REFUGEE LEADERSHIP TRAINING EVENT. RCUSA IS A FOUNDING PARTNER IN THE US REFUGEE ADVISORY BOARD, A PIONEERING NON-GOVERNMENT BODY THAT CHANNELS THE PARTICIPATION OF FORMERLY DISPLACED PEOPLE INTO US GOVERNMENT DELEGATIONS TO RELEVANT INTERNATIONAL REFUGEE POLICY BODIES, THUS PROVIDING A MECHANISM TO ENSURE THERE IS MEANINGFUL ENGAGEMENT BY REFUGEES IN POLICIES AFFECTING THEM. RCUSA IS ALSO WORKING TO IMPROVE THE MEASURES USED TO GAUGE SUCCESSFUL INTEGRATION OF REFUGEES INTO LOCAL COMMUNITIES IN THE US, SO THAT THE WAY INTEGRATION IS MEASURED BETTER CAPTURES THE RANGE OF INTERESTS, NEEDS, PRIORITIES, AND EXPERIENCES OF REFUGEES THEMSELVES. RCUSA HELPS REPRESENT THE REFUGEE-SERVING CIVIL SOCIETY COMMUNITY IN GLOBAL REFUGEE POLICY FORUMS. RCUSA ASSEMBLED AND LED US CIVIL-SOCIETY DELEGATIONS TO THE FEBRUARY 2024 WORKING GROUP ON RESETTLEMENT MEETING (HELD IN SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA), AND THE JUNE 2024 CONSULTATIONS ON RESETTLEMENT AND COMPLEMENTARY PATHWAYS (HOSTED BY UNHCR IN GENEVA, SWITZERLAND).

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

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.

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.
