Mission and programs · 2023

• Education: Justice Action Network Foundation (JANF), the nation's largest bipartisan coalition addressing criminal justice reform, leveraged its partners to launch educational campaigns geared towards the general public, advocates, law enforcement, and policy leaders. JANF worked across the political spectrum to pursue a comprehensive set of federal, state and local criminal justice reforms to reduce prison populations and associated costs; end the systemic problems of overcriminalization and overincarceration particularly in low-income communities and communities of color; ensure swift and fair outcomes for both the accused and the victim; and make communities safer by reducing recidivism and breaking down barriers faced by those returning home after detention or incarceration. See Sch OJANF partnered with other nonprofit organizations to host a series of virtual and in-person events to build public awareness for the need for criminal justice reform. The events, which included webinars and community events, worked to reach diverse audiences and share information on key criminal justice issues.JANF also disseminated criminal justice information through media interviews, informational meetings with high-level media figures and influences, and employing rapid response tactics for relevant criminal justice events. Through social media platforms, the organization highlighted partner organizations working on criminal justice issues and directed followers to relevant breaking news.

  Expenses $1,491,372

As filed on the 2023 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.

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.
