We continued with our social media and campaigns operation educating citizens on the benefits of REDD+/avoided deforestation and continued to grow the amount of support for our REDD+/avoided deforestation project partners 95984 45000 RESEARCH AND POLICY ALIGNMENT: Code REDD continued in engagement in key forums for REDD+ and deforestation free landscapes such as the World Banks Forest Carbon Partnership Facility committee meetings and the Tropical Forest Alliance member meetings. We continue to research carbon market developments for REDD+ at both the project and jurisdictional scale, as well as the technical success and pitfalls of emerging jurisdictional standards. Work was started on 3 case studies for Ghana, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Colombia, for which the final reports will be published in 2020. 23058 956402 PRIVATE SECTOR ENGAGEMENT: We continue to connect companies with our network of redd+ projects, and educate corporates about climate change policy & markets, with special focus on avoided deforestation & nature based solutions. We again increased the number of our business partnerships. We compiled data for 9 international regions, 60 countries, and all American, Australian, and Canadian states/territories for scope 1-3 emissions data, and finished the design phase for an online business footprint calculator to allow businesses of all sizes globally to conveniently analyze their greenhouse gas footprint and a range of options to counter their emissions. This will be coded and launched in 2020 as a program where business can qualify for digital badges, certifying their support for rural communities, wildlife, and forests, highlighting the actions they take in partnership with Stand For Trees to measure, limit internal emissions and offset any balance. The program will be able to be used by personal businesses, agencies, and other non-profits also 13227 234335 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 1 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 Director 40.00 0.00 X 30000 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 30000 0 false false false 0 30940 1162818 1193758 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 144035 -144035 -144035 CONSULTING SERVICES 900099 13227 13227 13227 1062950 -130808 0 0 0 0 30000 30000 0 42500 42500 0 0 3289 3289 0 20998 20998 7914 7914 0 0 0 0 2199 2199 3458 3458 18830 18830 0 17070 10242 6828 6992 6992 0 1950 1950 33156 11052 11052 11052 0 0 2194 1316 878 SUBCONTRACTORS 146456 146456 REIMBURSED EXPENSES 8365 8365 EVENT EXPENSES 3415 3415 FUNDRAISING EXPENSE 1883 1883 2520 2520 353189 234335 105919 12935 55757 28831 0 0 176130 13515 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2405 0 234292 42346 201637 167354 1847423 980000 2049060 1147354 X -1814768 -1105008 -1814768 -1105008 234292 42346 709761 X false false false X 1391335 463869 392522 469091 1191155 3907972 0 0 0 0 1391335 463869 392522 469091 1191155 3907972 0 0 3907972 0 0 0 0 1391335 463869 392522 469091 1191155 3907972 1.00000 0.00000 X Loan Interest Payable 202523 Loan Payable 777477 980000 SOUTH AMERICA 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES PROJECT DEVELOPER 14599 SOUTH AMERICA 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES PROJECT DEVELOPER 1164 SOUTH AMERICA 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES PROJECT DEVELOPER 20491 SUB SAHARAN AFRICA 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES PROJECT DEVELOPER 5489 SOUTH AMERICA 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES PROJECT DEVELOPER 41104 SUB SAHARAN AFRICA 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES PROJECT DEVELOPER 11150 EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES PROJECT DEVELOPER 5965 EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES PROGRAM DEVELOPER 37500 137462 137462 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.
