We investigated how plastics build up in our ocean, air, and wildlife. We actively shared perspectives with plastic industry leaders, policy makers, and corporations across the globe. Together with partners, we built a web of connections between researchers, organizers, educators, and young people. 42895 RESEARCH Algalita turned 25 this year! We celebrated with a special expedition to the North Pacific gyre in partnership with Korean Broadcasting System, who produced a plastic pollution documentary that was broadcasted to millions of households. Also, in 2019, we hosted our 9th annual International Youth Summit on Plastic Pollution - an event that supported 24 action campaigns across eight countries. We directly trained 623 educators on how to integrate plastic pollution curriculum into their classrooms and helped lead phase one of a district-wide transition to zero waste schools in Long Beach, CA. This year we hosted our 2nd annual Youth Innovation Forum that brought together 82 young systemic thinkers who practiced how to critically evaluate the innovations, initiatives, and power dynamics that could lead to major shifts in the status quo. Our zero-waste retail outpost, BYO at Algalita, reached over 18,000 product refills in 2019! 428948 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true 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 false false false false false false true 11 0 true 4 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X X KATIE ALLEN 5625984889 148 NORTH MARINA DRIVE LONG BEACH CA 90803 KATIE ALLEN Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 56667 0 0 GREG SHEA Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RONALD E JAGNER Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 NIKHIL DAVE Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MALLORY BURDEN Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JEFF CARRICK Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 KEVIN POFFENBARGER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARIETA FRANCIS President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 56667 0 false false false 0 1705 451382 18177 453087 PREVENTION AND OUTREACH 541900 53070 53070 53070 37404 241 37163 0 0 0 0 10365 1705 10365 0 0 0 OTHER INCOME 900099 2736 2736 2736 546297 56047 37163 0 0 0 0 56667 44200 4533 7934 0 155903 121604 12473 21826 0 0 17136 13366 1371 2399 0 3532 2578 954 14499 4490 9201 808 0 0 0 0 90 80 10 0 0 0 30677 25769 1534 3374 16270 15131 1139 0 4093 4093 0 0 2589 2589 2672 2405 267 PROGRAM 138336 138336 MERCHANDISE SALES 19837 19837 INKIND GOODS 18177 14402 3775 WEBSITE 8316 5405 2911 21237 14663 4877 1697 510031 428948 35210 45873 192602 73971 5117 5325 0 104 0 0 0 0 0 0 43868 39687 6770 4181 807 1049 0 0 0 199002 366405 404402 450931 11710 19498 5663 8138 17373 27636 X 172171 160503 214858 262792 387029 423295 404402 450931 36266 X true X false false false X 270208 496455 429467 420022 453087 2069239 72099 9209 9471 32679 53070 176528 0 0 0 342307 505664 438938 452701 506157 2245767 0 0 2245767 1682 15625 28035 -11338 37404 71408 0 1682 15625 28035 -11338 37404 71408 0 13953 7165 3789 3631 2736 31274 357942 528454 470762 444994 546297 2348449 0.95630 0.95900 0.03040 0.01850 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1475 425 1050 42393 39262 3131 4181 BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN QUASI ENDOWMENT 364437 DEPOSIT 1968 366405 Other liabilities 5699 SALES TAX PAYABLE 2439 8138 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process FORM 990 IS REVIEWED BY THE ED AND A COPY IS GIVEN TO ALL BOARD MEMBERS FOR THEIR REVIEW PRIOR TO BEING FILED.
