Mission and programs · 2024

• Alice Paul Center (APC) builds contemporary action and intergenerational movement for gender justice through the lens of history and of place. We envision a world in which people are allied in pursuit of liberation and justice under the law and in everyday practice. Our namesake, Alice Paul, led the fight for the 19th Amendment, was the architect of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), and was a driving force in gender equity during the 20th century.In 2024, the Alice Paul Institute became the Alice Paul Center for Gender Justice. This name change reflects our evolution beyond suffrage history to contemporary gender justice work while still honoring Alice's foundational legacy. We are currently working toward changing our legal name and will provide updated information when this change is complete.Paulsdale, APC's home and Alice Paul's childhood residence, is the only publiclyaccessible historic site in New Jersey honoring a woman and a site on the New Jersey Women's Heritage Trail. Of the 2,620 National Historic Landmarks designated in the United States, only 3.8% honor the work or legacy of a woman. Paulsdale serves as both a center for preserving women's history and a catalyst for galvanizing new generations to continue fighting for gender justice.APC equips women and girls with the knowledge, tools, and connections necessary to effect change that unites generations, engages all races, and ignites collective action. Working in partnership with local, regional, and national organizations, APC provides resources essential for women and girls to challenge outdated systems and advance gender equity. Over 90% of APC's audience identifies as women or girls, and we serve over 10,000 people annually through onsite and online programs and partnerships. Our demographics reflect Burlington County, with respondents self-identifying as 65% White/Caucasian, 16% African American/Black, 6% Asian, and 5% Latinx/Hispanic.For over 20 years, our Girls Leadership Council (GLC) has provided female-identifying teens with safe spaces to explore topics such as human rights, intersectionality, and privilege while participating in service projects and receiving mentorship. Our civic engagement programs teach students how government works and how citizens can be involved in shaping it.Lead-A-Way empowers young women by teaching them to utilize and better understand the skills they already possess. For young men, it contextualizes the roles of women in history and society, introducing them to inequities and encouraging them to become allies in the fight for gender justice. Over nine 90-minute sessions, participants learn how to stand out as leaders, gaining inspiration from female role models. Participants practice positive communication and collaborative teamwork, refining their integrity through activities and team projects. The program includes a visit to historic Paulsdale to learn about Alice Paul's life and leadership.Our Amending Your Future program uses Alice Paul's story to illustrate how people without formal political power can be involved in the Constitutional amendment process. It explores Alice's work in the fight for the 19th and Equal Rights Amendments, focusing on her as a constitutional changemaker. The core exercise challenges participants to develop their own 29th Amendment proposal, demonstrating how ordinary citizens can participate in the constitutional change process. Students develop stronger connections to the democratic process and gain deeper understanding of how to advocate for themselves and their communities. The program includes a 45-minute assembly at participating schools,as well as pre- and post-assembly work.Family Saturdays at Paulsdale offer free tours and activities, while our annual Women's Equality Day festival celebrates the adoption of the 19th Amendment. In August 2025, this festival featured over 50 community partners and vendors, promoting women-owned local businesses. This year's festival attracted 675 attendees, our largest turnout yet.Champions of Equality is a virtual presentation series featuring historians, educators, and activists who share stories about individuals who have made a lasting impact on the fight for gender equality. Past sessions have explored the suffrage activism of Zitkala-a (Gertrude Bonnin), a Yankton Dakota activist, and Black women throughout history who have liberated themselves and others.Adult community programming includes book talks, oral history presentations, poetry readings, performances, and moderated discussions on contemporary issues.Our AIR (Accessibility, Inclusion, Responsibility) program, completed in 2024 with policy recommendations released in 2025, operates in collaboration with the Burlington County Minority and Equality Rights Task Force, Burlington County Women's Advisory Council, and the Rancocas Valley Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. This initiative hosts community conversations on the legacy of the women's movement, with regular meetings leading to community-driven policy recommendations for Burlington County stakeholders.The 2026 Revolution NJ Youth-Led Summit (RYSE), developed in conjunction with NJREV for America's 250th anniversary, represents youth-led advocacy that will inform future programming.APC is currently in the planning phase of updating our permanent exhibit. We are working with consultants from the Drexel University Lenfest Center for Cultural Partnerships, and others, to create a more inclusive and comprehensive representation of the gender justice movement.APC educates the public about the current status of the ERA. We are working to develop an operational and educational strategy with the national ERA coalition through public education and presentations about both the history and current status of the ERA.In November, Forward Together: Generational Voices in Leadership brings together members of our Girls Leadership Council and seasoned women leaders who have driven meaningful change in their communities and professions. This intergenerational panel at Christ Church Neighborhood House in Philadelphia explores how women across generations lead, challenge norms, and shape the future, expanding our reach into our nearest metropolitan area.The Barbara Haney Irvine Library & Archives houses our climate-controlled collections on Paulsdale's third floor. Our digital collections include audio files and searchable transcripts of Alice Paul's oral history interviews, with ongoing community scanning days expanding our digital archive to preserve underrepresented stories in the fight for gender justice.Through these diverse programs and initiatives, APC continues to honor Alice Paul's legacy while addressing contemporary challenges in the ongoing fight for gender equality and justice.

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.
