These efforts provide training in grassroots activism and education in pertinent issues to which this activism is directed. Such efforts are provided for those most directly impacted by the issues of concern and empower them to attain trust, knowledge and competence as they experience those issues of concern and devise their own methods of coping and remedying associated problems. As the affected community empowers itself in these way, it affords strength, durability and resilience at a community level. Mutual aid groups thus cultivate community care as basic social practice that serves to remedy areas of chronic disenfranchisement. Such peer-based activism and education can then employ an "each one teach one" practice that shares knowledge, skills and competency around other related issues and with other similarly challenged disenfranchised communities, replicating its benefits. Harriet's Wildest Dreams has now attained 501(c)3 status and thus will no longer be supported by our organization as a grantee. 33000 0 33000 In 2022, we maintained a BIPOC Green New Deal internship program and paid 33 interns $1000 apiece. As with the program area 4a above, these interns are educated and trained in peer based support that they can then share with BIPOC communities around issues of concern as to their race and class-based disenfranchisement and its remedies, and as to environment justice including the existential threats posed by climate chaos. 24111 0 24111 We launched a MOCO Green New Deal for Social Housing.

Since we work with a narrow focus in the climate area and also in our geographical area, we typically know our grantees before we receive a proposal. Often we serve as a fiscal sponsor for our grantees. Most of our grants are repeats. When the proposal is accepted we execute a Memorandum Of Understanding with the grantee. The MOU requires each grantee to limit its activities to those allowed by 501 c 3 organizations and to keep written records of its expenditures. At the end of the proposal, we require a written report. Since we have few grantees, we maintain regular contact by phone, email and social media. Form 990, Part III, Line 2 This year, we continued an internship program to teach the skills of peer support and social change to BIPOC MOCO high school youth. We paid stipends to 33 youth. This year, we launched a Montgomery County Green New Deal for Social Housing Program, hiring a consultant and organizing an assembly and a committee.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8b As our board consists of only three members, such need is met by whole board, rather than establishing committees Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Distributed to our Board for review and to our Attorney. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c We regularly and consistently monitor and enforce compliance with the policy. Our policy requires that the Board of Directors review the policy during at least one Board Meeting annually. We circulate the name of any organization we do business with greater than $10,000. Directors must submit annual disclosure statements as well as before election. A conflict must be disclosed immediately and referred to the Board. The Board investigates, determines if conflict exists at meeting with majority of Directors present. If it does exist then alternatives must be considered. If the Board the conflict is fair and reasonable in the interest of the corporation, they can approve. Decision must nclude basis and be recorded in minutes along with alternatives considered. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 Compensation reveiw has not been neccesary as we have no paid employees. If we do, we will conduct review and approval by independent persons,gather comparability data, and contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberation and decision.
