The focus being on technical consultancy on independent standards and verification for avoided deforestation, as well as details of comparative benefits with other climate mitigation projects. In turn, we continued to support our project partners with information about the latest trends in business support for nature-based climate solutions. Though the Covid-19 pandemic prohibited normal activities such as conference attendances, engagement and support from businesses for avoided deforestation generally still grew. PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT : We continued to develop our online platform standfortrees.org, and supporting social media, to engage and empower individuals on deforestation and climate change. We added additional language versions of Spanish and Portguese for the website, and added Spanish language social media channels. We continued to produce innovative and high quality digital content, with an important documentary release ?Sonic Forest? that was supported by a short form video and special outreach campaign. Although successful the Covid-19 pandemic led to a difficult operating environment and held back performance. POLICY RESEARCH: We continued to engage with policy makers and other environmental groups, about best practices for avoided deforestation projects. Particular focus areas where the coordination of government and local/community owned programs, the establishment and revision of deforestation reference levels and data analysis. A formal report on best practises was started, focused on 3 case studies of Colombia, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Ghana,with stakeholder engagement from both local country parties and international experts. The report is due for release in Q2 2021. 292715 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 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 false false true 3 0 true 2 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 0 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true false false false CA X CONVERGENT FINANCIAL INC 4158235142 601 VAN NESS AVE STE E3524 San Francisco CA 94102 MICHAEL R RADOMIR Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 22000 0 0 CATHY ZAMBRANO Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MIKE KORCHINSKY President 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SEAN KINGHORN Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BRIAN MCFARLAND Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LISA WALKER Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 22000 0 false false false 0 491069 491069 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 254730 -254730 -254730 CONSULTING SERVICES 900099 75774 75774 75774 312113 -178956 0 0 0 0 37456 15456 22000 0 0 0 1103 1103 4838 1539 3299 21872 21872 33940 33940 14904 14904 0 0 0 0 34017 17009 17008 4060 4060 50709 50709 0 13561 8137 5424 9633 9633 0 0 58 58 0 0 0 REIMBURSED EXPENSES 76407 76407 SUBCONTRACTORS 66003 66003 INSURANCE 13867 11094 2773 FILM & VIDEO PRODUCTION 1685 1685 1706 1706 385819 292715 76096 17008 28831 95235 0 0 13515 25200 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 42346 120435 167354 175302 980000 1123847 1147354 1299149 X -1105008 -1178714 -1105008 -1178714 42346 120435 -73706 X false false false X 463869 392522 469091 1191155 491069 3007706 0 0 0 0 463869 392522 469091 1191155 491069 3007706 0 0 3007706 0 0 0 0 463869 392522 469091 1191155 491069 3007706 1.00000 1.00000 0.00000 X Liabilities_Other 1123847 1123847 SOUTH AMERICA 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES PROJECT DEVELOPER 10708 SOUTH AMERICA 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES PROJECT DEVELOPER 3873 SOUTH AMERICA 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES PROJECT DEVELOPER 3138 SUB SAHARAN AFRICA 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES PROJECT DEVELOPER 7775 SUB SAHARAN AFRICA 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES PROJECT DEVELOPER 29898 SUB SAHARAN AFRICA 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES PROJECT DEVELOPER 9517 EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES PROJECT DEVELOPER 10672 EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES PROGRAM DEVELOPER 10646 SUB SAHARAN AFRICA 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES PROGRAM DEVELOPER 6991 SUB SAHARAN AFRICA 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES PROGRAM DEVELOPER 44192 137410 137410 false false false false false false Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: SPECIAL FOCUS COLOMBIA: We started an important new focus of our work related to Colombia both regarding increasing domestic private sector/citizen support for Colombian REDD+ projects, and regional Spanish language world support for REDD+ projects globally, off the back of our Colombian work and Spanish language based work. A key element of this has been a partnership, under USAIDs BioREDD program, with 7 community managed REDD+ projects across the Pacific region of Colombia 6 Afro-Colombian led projects and 1 Indigenous led project. Consultations and strategy discussions were held with elected representatives for the communities. A 4 year plan was agreed to help them develop higher value support from regional and international supporters through the use of our Stand For Trees digital platform, and to set up a dedicated Colombian based Spanish language social media operation that will promote thir work domestically, regionally and internationally. The cooperation also was determined to develop a major video production towards the same objectives. The foundations of the 4 year plan were also successfully started in 2019, with video pre-production activities including an agreement with Colombias biggest band Bomba Estereo to be central to the video, with community meetings and site visits made with Bomba Estereo and key members of the film crew to research audio-visual logistics in the remote community and forest locations. Production/post production and release will be in 2020. Additionally, we established a key policy and research focus in Colombia, joining the Association of Colombian Carbon Market Actors Asocarbono, and convinced the management and other members to create a working group for REDD+. We also participated in a number of meetings and conferences with that included different stakeholders such as Domestic Government Agencies, Indigenous Groups, International Donor Agencies, Business and other NGOs in order to deepen our engagement and understanding with the countrys efforts to reduce deforestation, for which Colombia has become recognized as a pioneer.
