Since our founding in 2013 our nonpartisan voter education and mobilization campaigns have generated 175,000 voter registrations. Pre-pandemic our in-person campaigns were conducted on college campuses and in high schools, at swearing-in ceremonies for newly naturalized citizens, during community events and street fairs and at high-traffic commercial corridors. In partnership with high schools and community groups we presented workshops on civic education. These workshops helped youth and adults understand the myriad ways that our political system impacts citizens daily lives and how voting can impact the issues they care about. Some of these activities are now carried out largely during a narrow window in summer when it is safer to do so, or when possible for workshops, via Zoom events. 204587 Get-Out-The-Vote Campaigns. We design and implement Get-Out-The-Vote GOTV campaigns to mobilize voters to participate in state, local, and federal elections. When the pandemic hit, we quickly pivoted to an online format, conducting outreach campaigns virtually. New Yorkers, for the first time, became eligible to apply for an absentee ballot and to vote by mail in the primaries and general election. Because it was a new way of voting, educating Dominican-Americans was critical to ensuring they had all the requisite information to cast their ballot properly and on time either by mail, during the early voting period or on Election Day. Our GOTV campaigns combined robust phone-banking operations with text messaging, mailed postcards, and digital media outreach. We sent 220,000 text messages, made 46,000 phone calls, and mailed 8,000 postcards, all with crucial election information. Unfortunately, street canvassing outreach had to be drastically scaled back and our summer youth employment program cancelled, all due to the pandemic. While most of our work was done online. 204587 Citizenship Program. Helping Dominican-Americans other foreign-born Latino groups on the path to citizenship has been part of our mission since the summer of 2016. The program, which is completely free, assists qualified legal permanent residents LPRs to become U.S. citizens. Eligible LPRs were identified recruited by our outreach teams workshops were then conducted in person in our offices. When the pandemic hit everything about the process - including pre-screenings verifying eligibility, filling out the N-400 citizenship application a final legal review with an immigration attorney had to be adapted to an online format. Despite the pandemic, during our most recent fiscal year 1,643 people expressed interest in citizenship entered our program pipeline. Of these, we screened 505 applicants, completed 140 fee waivers, 173 N-400 applications. Since inception, we helped a total of 1,973 people complete their N-400 applications engaged 15,000 people in our citizenship pipeline. 613761 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false 6 0 true 12 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 4 4 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false true true false false DC FL NY X X EDWARD CUESTA 7186650400 POST OFFICE BOX 936 NEW YORK NY 104550936 EDWARD CUESTA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 040.00 X X X 122307 0 0 MANUEL MATOS PRESIDENT 008.00 X X 0 0 0 ANYARLENE BERGES DIRECTOR 002.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTIAN CABRAL TREASURER 002.00 X X 0 0 0 122307 1 false false false 97682 776806 874488 874488 0 0 0 0 122307 42808 42807 36692 0 386327 326207 30060 30060 0 22299 8523 7164 6612 48202 38097 5286 4819 20033 20033 561 561 16598 16598 0 27592 27592 0 0 35601 35601 33032 32947 85 26469 24189 2280 0 26812 26812 21819 1765 10027 10027 0 0 0 0 2139 2139 1311 1311 Other direct program expenses 38515 38515 Telecom 9105 9105 Community outreach, youth citizenship programs 9678 9678 Payroll administration 2079 2079 15494 15296 99 99 865973 613761 136311 115901 477164 197750 5578 272160 120956 107187 10976 13769 2025 2025 495743 485704 55855 37301 55855 37301 X 439888 448403 439888 448403 495743 485704 8515 X true X true X false false X 1173169 832546 730592 798306 874488 4409101 1173169 832546 730592 798306 874488 4409101 2479308 1929793 4409101 0.43770 0.35020 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false 115376 107187 8189 5580 5580 13769 Financial derivatives and other financial products Closely-held equity interests Federal income taxes 874488 874488 874488 865973 865973 865973 Central America and the Caribbean Solicitation N/A X X X X false SHERRY ROSE GRANT WRITER false ROBERT MARTINEZ BAUTISTA CONSULTANT false DC FL NY RI Form 990, Part IV, Section B, Line 11b Prior to filing, this Form 990 will be presented first to the Treasurer of the organization for final review and approval, and then to the Board of Directors at a meeting of the full Board.
