  Expenses $137,671

• IN DECEMBER 2024, WE SECURED THE PASSAGE OF A LAW THAT WILL MAKE THE CLAIMS PROCESS AT THE OFFICE OF HUMAN RIGHTS (OHR) MORE FAIR TO PRO SE LITIGANTS (WORKERS WHO FILE CLAIMS WITHOUT THE REPRESENTATION OF A LAWYER). THIS INCLUDES EXTENDING THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS TO GIVE CLAIMANTS MORE TIME TO FILE CLAIMS, INSULATING CLAIMANTS FROM BEING FORCED TO ARBITRATE THEIR COMPLAINTS OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT, AND PRESERVING THEIR RIGHT TO FILE THEIR CLAIMS IN COURT EVEN AFTER THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS HAS CONCLUDED. THESE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE LAW WILL ULTIMATELY GIVE PRO SE CLAIMANTS MORE POWER AND AGENCY IN PURSUING A REMEDY FOR THEIR DISCRIMINATION CASES.

  Expenses $38,548

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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 9 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
