Mission and programs · 2024

• Miners' Health and Safety: We provided free legal services to hundreds of black lung victims and widows in federal black lung benefits cases and related litigation. We advocated for strengthened federal regulations reducing exposure to coal and silica dust. We acted as a resource to communities affected by black lung disease as well as to the professional communities that support them by providing information and guidance regarding changes to black lung law, policies and medical research. ACLC also represented miners that were discriminated against for making safety complaints.

  Expenses $565,453

• Environmental Justice: ACLC continued to provide free legal services to families and communities whose land and environment is directly impacted by coal mining and other destructive environmental practices in our region. ACLC continued to represent one community in its efforts to address failures in its public water system and advocate on behalf of that community and others in the region dealing with similar problems in state and national forums.

  Expenses $336,865

• Policy and Advocacy: ACLC seeks to promote a just transition in Central Appalachia as the coal economy declines, investments are made in new economic and energy futures, and as the region recovers from the July 2022 flood disaster. In 2024, we engaged in educational activities, community group capacity building, policy analysis, and advocacy in pursuit of this goal. We engaged particularly with policy issues concerning black lung benefits, coal mine reclamation, utility affordability, and disaster recovery.

  Expenses $300,772

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
