THROUGH THIS PROGRAM RAE HAS AWARDED MORE THAN $8.5 MILLION TO DATE, TO STATE AGENCIES, NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, MUNICIPALITIES, UNIVERSITIES AND REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSIONS. 500962 0 469253 THE SUMMIT IS AN INTERNATIONAL GATHERING ENCOMPASSING ALL DISCIPLINES WITHIN THE COASTAL AND ESTUARINE RESTORATION AND MANAGEMENT COMMUNITIES. RAE WORKED WITH 200 PARTNERING AND SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS TO DEVELOP AND HOST THE VIRTUAL SUMMIT. OVER 1,300 PARTICIPANTS FROM THE RESTORATION AND MANAGEMENT COMMUNITIES - NON-PROFIT AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, ACADEMIC AND RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS, BUSINESSES WITH AN INTEREST IN THE COAST, AND AGENCIES FROM ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT - ATTENDED. THE SUMMIT PROVIDES TIMELY AND MUCH-NEEDED ATTENTION TO THE CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR COASTAL AND ESTUARINE RESTORATION AND MANAGEMENT. IT BRINGS TOGETHER A UNIQUE BLEND OF PEOPLE WHO ARE INVOLVED IN POLICY, SCIENCE, STRATEGY, BUSINESS, AND ON-THE-GROUND RESTORATION AND MANAGEMENT. THE 2020 SUMMIT PROGRAM ADDRESSED ALL ASPECTS OF COASTAL AND ESTUARINE RESTORATION AND MANAGEMENT, IN ALL ECOSYSTEMS, AT ALL SCALES, AND IN ALL REGIONS. THESE TOPICS ARE CRUCIAL AS COASTAL COMMUNITIES PURSUE NEW, MORE ROBUST STRATEGIES TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE, PROTECT, AND RESTORE THEIR RESOURCES IN A CHANGING CLIMATE. ENSURING THESE RESOURCES, AND THE COMMUNITIES THAT RELY ON THEM, ARE RESILIENT NOW AND INTO THE FUTURE WILL BE A PARTICULAR FOCUS. 335049 294805 45000 COMMUNITY-BASED COASTAL HABITAT RESTORATION: RESTORE AMERICA'S ESTUARIES (RAE) AND ITS ALLIANCE MEMBERS HAVE WORKED SINCE 1996 TO RESTORE OUR NATION'S CRITICAL COASTAL AREAS AND BRING THEM BACK TO LIFE. THROUGH ITS COMMUNITY-BASED RESTORATION PROGRAM (CRP), RAE JOINS WITH GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, CORPORATIONS, CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS, SCIENTISTS, AND LOCAL VOLUNTEERS ON RESTORATION PROJECTS WITH TANGIBLE IMPACTS. AMONG OUR GOALS ARE THE RETURN OF ABUNDANT FISHERIES, STRONG LOCAL ECONOMIES, AND SHORELINES THAT ARE RESILIENT TO STORMS AND FLOODING. RAE'S CRP HAS SUPPORTED HUNDREDS OF LOCAL RESTORATION PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES, ACHIEVING REAL MEANINGFUL RESULTS, AND ENGAGING PEOPLE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES IN THE PROTECTION OF THEIR NATURAL RESOURCES. 257505 55000 0 COASTAL BLUE CARBON INITIATIVE: COASTAL WETLAND ECOSYSTEMS, SUCH AS SEA GRASS BEDS, MANGROVES, SALT MARSH, AND OTHER TIDAL WETLANDS, REMOVE CARBON DIOXIDE FROM THE ATMOSPHERE AND STORE CARBON IN WETLAND SILS. RAE'S BLUE CARBON INITIATIVE SEEKS TO INCREASE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INVESTMENT IN AND PRIORIZATION OF ESTUARY HABITAT RESTORATION THROUGH THE RECOGNITION OF THE CLIMATE MILTIGATION VALUES OF THESE HABITATS. 116018 0 TOOLKIT: THE COASTAL RESTORATION TOOLKIT WAS DEVELOPED TO PROVIDE HIGH-LEVEL, INTRODUCTORY EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS ON HOW TO DEVELOP A COASTAL RESTORATION PROJECT FROM CONCEPT TO PROPOSAL. DIVIDED INTO FIVE TOPIC AREAS (FLOODING, COASTAL EROSION, WATER QUALITY, INVASIVE SPECIES, AND WILDLIFE HABITATS), THE TOOLKIT INCLUDES PROJECT EXAMPLES, TOOLS AND RESOURCES, CONTACTS, FUNDING SOURCES, AND PERMITTING INFORMATION. THE TOOLKIT IS A LAUNCHING POINT FOR DEVELOPING SOLUTIONS TO COASTAL RESTORATION OPPORTUNITIES THAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS SEE IN THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES. 23958 0 LIVING SHORELINES: COASTAL COMMUNITIES AROUND THE COUNTRY FACE INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT AND COSTLY CHALLENGES DUE TO SEA-LEVEL RISE, INCREASED SEVERITY OF STORMS, AND SIMILAR PROBLEMS. HISTORICALLY, THE RESPONSE HAS BEEN "HARD" SOLUTIONS, SUCH AS SEA WALLS AND BULKHEADS, WHICH ACTUALLY WORSEN STORM HAZARD RISKS, EROSION, AND LOSS OF HABITAT. LIVING SHORELINES AND NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS ARE A SUITE OF TECHNIQUES USING "SOFTER" APPROACHES UNIQUELY TAILORED TO EACH SITE, WHICH HELP STABILIZE SHORELINES WHILE INCREASING HABITAT VALUE. RAE'S LIVING SHORELINES PROGRAM WORKS TO RAISE AWARENESS OF THESE SOFTER APPROACHES AND INCREASE THEIR USE VIA EFFORTS SUCH AS OUR LIVING SHORELINES ACADEMY, BIENNIAL TECH TRANSFER WORKSHOP, FEDERAL POLICY AND LEGISLATIVE WORK INCLUDING UPCOMING NATIONAL LEGISLATION AND MORE. 123183 20284 OTHER PROGRAMS RELATED TO RAE'S MISSION INCLUDING PROJECTS AND FUNDS SUPPORTING COASTAL RESTORATION AND HABITAT INITIATIVES. 520664 55000 20284 4577926 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 11 0 11 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 CA FL MD NJ NY NC RI VA X X THE ORGANIZATION 7035240248 2300 CLARENDON BOULEVARD SUITE 603 ARLINGTON VA 22201 TODD MILLER CHAIRMAN 2.00 X X 0 0 0 KIMBERLY DAVIS REYHER VICE CHAIRMAN 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ROBERT STOKES TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ALISON PROST SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 CURT JOHNSON DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 JONATHAN F STONE DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 TIM DILLINGHAM DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 PETER CLARK DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID LEWIS DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 STEVE DUBIEL PAST CHAIRMAN 2.00 X 0 0 0 JEFFREY BENOIT FORMER PRESIDENT & CEO (THROUGH MAY 2020) 40.00 X 95368 0 9669 DANIEL HAYDEN PRESIDENT & CEO (BEGINNING MAY 2020) 40.00 X 98365 0 7409 ELSA SCHWARTZ SENIOR DIRECTOR OF RESTORATION 40.00 X 104619 0 16907 298352 0 33985 1 0 0 0 0 4146978 502709 4649687 CONFERENCE AND MEETING 900099 469253 469253 AFFILIATE DUES 900099 45000 45000 ADVERTISING 541800 500 500 514753 5145 5145 MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE 900099 20284 20284 20284 5189869 534537 500 5145 3371107 3371107 210810 165118 23027 22665 622706 487731 68026 66949 27417 21475 2995 2947 64978 50894 7098 6986 54579 42749 5962 5868 19932 19932 235223 176530 55466 3227 4114 4114 13405 13405 16049 3623 12426 53413 2994 48629 1790 10825 6742 4027 56 213267 212659 608 6927 4013 2097 817 BAD DEBT 15000 15000 BANK CHARGES 14165 8204 4289 1672 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 5554 5554 LICENSES AND FEES 5450 3158 1649 643 4203 1815 2176 212 4969124 4577926 277366 113832 312527 475998 380224 385102 486871 1642065 26649 25115 91530 5336 4452 4452 1302253 2538068 597543 1710095 93840 0 19436 16032 710819 1726127 X 427550 466518 163884 345423 591434 811941 1302253 2538068 220745 -238 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 1968407 1795823 1714914 2836668 4649687 12965499 1968407 1795823 1714914 2836668 4649687 12965499 324419 12641080 4907 4560 8192 8230 5145 31034 4497 4497 5030 2120 599 20284 28033 13029063 2104580 0.97020 0.96110 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 4969124 4969124 398456 99614 0 0 249942 275774 300155 398456 1224327 1836491 62486 68944 75039 99614 306083 459125 163884 285500 103961 345423 161873 174905 172894 163884 285631 28400 152158 161873 263371 275698 253438 285631 334666 339548 410843 263371 0.00000 0.00000 1.00000 0 0 0 DEFERRED RENT 16032 16032 X 5189631 -238 -238 5189869 0 5189869 4969124 0 4969124 0 4969124 PART V, LINE 4: THE ORGANIZATION'S ENDOWMENT FUNDS ARE TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED IN NATURE AND PERTAIN TO PROJECTS IN WHICH DONORS HAVE RESTRICTED THE USE OF CONTRIBUTED FUNDS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
