The Institute adopted the recognition requirements for uncertain income tax positions as required by generally accepted accounting principles, with no cumulative effect adjustment required. Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more-likely-than-not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Institute has analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the Internal Revenue Service and all state jurisdictions where it operates. The Institute has elected to utilize Section 501(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, which allows limited lobbying activities by Section 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations.The Institute believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on the Institutes financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Accordingly, the Institute has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at June 30, 2021. The Institute is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. false CENTRAL AMERICA 0 2 General Support 51034 EAST ASIA/ PACIFIC 0 15 General Support 295949 EUROPE 0 18 General Support 107705 NORTH AMERICA 0 7 General Support 23510 RUSSIA 0 10 General Support 23025 SOUTH AMERICA 0 2 General Support 3150 SOUTH ASIA 0 11 Genera Support 74354 SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA 0 16 General Support 388799 81 81 967526 967526 EAST ASIA/ PACI General support 144000 EUROPE General support 15000 SOUTH ASIA General support 70000 SUB-SAHARAN AFR General support 343622 4 false false false false false false X X X X X false AK AL AZ CA CO CT DC FL GA HI IL KS KY LA ME ME MI MN MS NC ND NH NJ NM NY OH OK OR PW RI SC TN UT VA WA WV WI Plastic Pollution Coalition Virtual Evt. 146751 143871 2880 22580 146751 143871 2880 22580 22580 -19700 true Agricultura Cooperative Ntwrk 318 Isleta Blvd SW Suite 20 Albuquerque NM 87105 475659164 501(c)(3) 20000 0 General support Agricultural Missions Inc 475 Riverside Drive Room 1505 New York NY 10115 135562157 501(c)(3) 11364 0 General support Alabama Interfaith Pow Light 1500 Daniel Payne Drive Birmingham AL 35214 830784025 501(c)(3) 11364 0 General support American Friends Service Comm 1501 Cherry Street Philadelphia PA 19102 231352010 501(c)(3) 20000 0 General support BCA Global PO Box 2044 North Babylon NY 11703 113350321 501(c)(3) 20000 0 General support Better World Group Advisors 448 S Hill Street Suite 111 Los Angeles CA 90013 831911370 501(c)(3) 6500 0 General support Carbon Cycle Institute 245 Kentucky Street Petaluma CA 94952 462694752 501(c)(3) 15000 0 General support Common Vision PO Box 638 Ukiah CA 95482 800615097 501(c)(3) 63872 0 General support Community Alliance w Family PO Box 363 Davis CA 95617 942914745 501(c)(3) 15515 0 General support Community Vision Capital & Co 870 Market Street 677 San Francisco CA 94602 943032394 501(c)(3) 20000 0 General support Compliance & Cap Skill Inter 110 W 94th Street 2D New York NY 10025 820712937 501(c)(3) 46348 0 General support Espacio Migrante 3085 El Porvenir Way San Diego CA 92173 813819765 501(c)(3) 7500 0 General support GreenWave 315 Front Street New Haven CT 06513 475438012 501(c)(3) 20000 0 General support JMT Wilderness Conservancy 2120 Avy Avenue PO Box 7348 Menlo Park CA 94025 853608502 501(c)(3) 459569 0 General support Kingsley Elementary School 5200 Virginia Avenue Los Angeles CA 90029 Other 15000 0 General support Lideres Campesinas Inc PO Box 20033 Oxnard CA 93034 954611282 501(c)(3) 20000 0 General support Maine Farmland Trust 97 Main Street Belfast ME 04915 010528014 501(c)(3) 11000 0 General support Mothers Out Front PO Box 5507 23686 Boston MA 02205 465758600 501(c)(3) 11364 0 General support Movement Strategy Center 436 14th Street 500 Oakland CA 94612 201037643 501(c)(3) 20000 0 General support Multiplier 405 14th Street Suite 164 Oakland CA 94612 912166435 501(c)(3) 20000 0 General support NYU Grossman School Medicine 550 1st Ave New York NY 10016 135562309 501(c)(3) 10000 0 General support Ohio Ecolog Food & Farm Assoc 41 Croswell Road Columbus OH 43214 341638273 501(c)(3) 12250 0 General support Seventh Generation Fund PO Box 4569 Arcata CA 95518 680027247 501(c)(3) 10000 0 General support Surfrider Foundation PO Box 73550 San Clemente CA 92673 953941826 501(c)(3) 30000 0 General support Swaliga Foundation 400 Massachusetts Ave NW DC 20032 462568999 501(c)(3) 15000 0 General support The Tides Center 3440 Walnut Avenue Fremont CA 94538 943213100 501(c)(3) 23992 0 General support Transgender Resource Center PO Box 80872 Albuquerque NM 97198 392076744 501(c)(3) 10000 0 General support UFW Foundation PO Box 23400 Los Angeles CA 90023 952703575 501(c)(3) 20000 0 General support Waterkeepers Chesapeake 6930 Carroll Avenue Ste 820 Takoma Park MD 20913 454381850 501(c)(3) 11000 0 General support Zuni Mountain Sanctuary PO Box 636 Ramah NM 87321 850447095 501(c)(3) 10000 0 General support 30 0 Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: New Leaders InitiativeThe New Leaders Initiative celebrates and supports young environmental leaders in North America.
