BY CREATING DIVERSE ALLIANCES AND BUILDING THE POWER OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNITY, ELM USES ITS COLLECTIVE INFLUENCE TO ENSURE MASSACHUSETTS IS A LEADER IN ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY.ELM HAS LONG BEEN A CORNERSTONE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNITY IN MASSACHUSETTS. ELM WAS FOUNDED IN 1898 WITH A FOCUS ON PROTECTING FORESTS AND PARKS, BUT IT EVOLVED WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT TO TAKE ON ISSUES OF TOXICS REDUCTION AND POLLUTION PREVENTION, RIVER PROTECTION, SMART GROWTH DEVELOPMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE. AS A MASSACHUSETTS ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATION THAT ENGAGES IN ADVOCACY ACROSS THE FULL SPECTRUM OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS, ELM PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN COORDINATING AND UNIFYING THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNITY FOR PURPOSES OF ADVOCACY AND REGULATORY OVERSIGHT. ELM'S EARLY WORK INCLUDED THE PROMOTION OF SUSTAINABLE FORESTRY PRACTICES STATEWIDE AND VIGOROUS PROTECTION OF MOUNT GREYLOCK (AN EFFORT THAT CONTINUED - WITH GREAT SUCCESS - FOR MORE THAN 75 YEARS, AND INCLUDED THE ESTABLISHMENT OF MOUNT GREYLOCK AS MASSACHUSETTS'S FIRST STATE PARK). IN THE 1920S AND 1930S ELM SUCCESSFULLY PETITIONED THE LEGISLATURE TO PURCHASE MORE THAN 300,000 ACRES OF STATE FORESTS, SETTING AN EXAMPLE THAT INSPIRED THE CREATION OF STATE FORESTS NATIONWIDE. IN THE 1950S ELM WORKED SUCCESSFULLY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF TOWN CONSERVATION COMMISSIONS, ACHIEVED VIA THE CONSERVATION COMMISSION ACT OF 1957. WITH THE EMERGENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS RAISED IN THE EARLY 1970S BY THE LANDMARK RESEARCH OF RACHEL CARSON, ELM REMAINED AT THE VANGUARD OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT FOCUSING ON THE REDUCTION OF TOXIC CHEMICALS RELEASED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. ELM WAS A STRONG ADVOCATE IN THE LATE 1980S FOR THE MASSACHUSETTS TOXIC USE REDUCTION ACT (THE FIRST SUCH ACT PASSED IN THE COUNTRY), AND ELM WAS THEN INSTRUMENTAL IN ADVOCATING FOR SUFFICIENT FUNDS TO ENABLE ITS IMPLEMENTATION. MORE RECENTLY, ELM HAS TACKLED RIVER PROTECTION, SMART GROWTH DEVELOPMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE. TODAY, ELM CONTINUES THIS BREADTH OF ACTION AND BROAD UNDERSTANDING OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS WITH A FOCUS ON ADVOCACY DESIGNED TO MOVE MASSACHUSETTS STATE GOVERNMENT TO PROTECT OUR PUBLIC HEALTH AND NATURAL RESOURCES.WE ARE FOCUSING A VAST MAJORITY OF OUR TIME ON 3 MAJOR PRIORITIES. GREEN BUDGET: SEVERE CUTS TO ENVIRONMENTAL AGENCY BUDGETS AND STAFF REDUCTIONS ARE PREVENTING MASSACHUSETTS FROM LIVING UP TO ITS POTENTIAL. CURRENTLY, ONLY 0.6% OF THE STATE OPERATING BUDGET SUPPORTS ENVIRONMENTAL AGENCIES. IN OUR ANNUAL GREEN BUDGET REPORT WE SET FORTH FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS THAT PUT US ON THE RIGHT TRACK TOWARD ACHIEVING THE GOVERNOR'S COMMITMENT OF 1% FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. THE LAST TIME MASSACHUSETTS ALLOCATED 1% OF ITS BUDGET TO ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS WAS IN THE EARLY 2000'S.THE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION (MASSDEP) AND DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND RECREATION (DCR) HAVE SUFFERED DRASTIC CUTS IN RECENT YEARS AND STAFFING IS DOWN 25% COMPARED TO A FEW YEARS AGO. MANY DCR PROPERTIES ARE UNSTAFFED OR HAVE SUCH MINIMAL STAFF PRESENCE THAT ENFORCEMENT, SAFETY, PROGRAMMING, AND USER EXPERIENCE ARE BEING NEGATIVELY IMPACTED. MASSDEP STAFF IS STRETCHED TO COVER ITS WIDE-RANGING RESPONSIBILITIES. ADDITIONAL STAFF ARE NEEDED TO MONITOR WATER QUALITY, ENFORCE SOLID WASTE BANS, AND DEAL WITH NEWER ISSUES SUCH AS EMERGING CONTAMINANTS (INCLUDING PFAS) AND CLIMATE CHANGE REGULATION.OFFSHORE WIND: SOMEWHERE BETWEEN A SIXTH AND A THIRD OF OLD COAL AND OIL-FIRED POWER PLANTS WILL RETIRE IN THE NEXT DECADE. MEANWHILE, OUR DEMAND FOR ELECTRICITY IS INCREASING AS WE ELECTRIFY TRANSPORTATION AND HEATING. THERE IS A GROWING GAP BETWEEN FUTURE DEMAND AND FUTURE SUPPLY. NOW IS THE MOMENT WE CHOOSE HOW TO FILL THIS GAP. NEW ENGLAND IS UNCOMMONLY WELL POSITIONED FOR HARNESSING OFFSHORE WIND. WE HAVE DENSELY POPULATED COASTS WITH HIGH ENERGY DEMAND NEAR SHORE AND THE SHALLOW WATER OFF OUR CONTINENTAL SHELF IS IDEAL FOR BUILDING TURBINES. PLUS, THE WIND OFF OUR COAST IS STRONGER THAN ALMOST ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. WE WILL CREATE THOUSANDS OF JOBS AND SAVE RATEPAYERS BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. THE 800 MW VINEYARD WIND PROJECT CONTRACTED IN 2018 IS PROJECTED TO CREATE AT LEAST 3,600 JOBS AND SAVE RATEPAYERS MORE THAN $1.4 BILLION OVER 20 YEARS. NEW ENGLAND WILL BE A VIBRANT HUB FOR CLEANTECH DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT, ACCELERATING OFFSHORE WIND'S GROWTH AROUND THE WORLD. RELIABLE, EFFICIENT OFFSHORE WIND WILL PROTECT RATEPAYERS FROM PRICE SPIKES YEAR-ROUND. OLDER COAL AND OIL-FIRED POWER PLANTS WHICH TYPICALLY HAVE SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE HEALTH AND OTHER IMPACTS ON ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE COMMUNITIES WILL RETIRE, FOR GOOD. WE WILL END THE FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY'S ARGUMENT THAT MORE NATURAL GAS PIPELINES ARE NECESSARY FOR WINTER RELIABILITY.TRANSPORTATION EMISSIONS: IF WE'RE GOING TO REACH OUR LEGALLY MANDATED EMISSIONS REDUCTION REQUIREMENTS, WE NEED TO TACKLE THE TRANSPORTATION SECTOR. UNRELIABLE TRANSIT IS TAKING TIME RESIDENTS SHOULD BE SPENDING AT WORK OR WITH THEIR FAMILIES. THOSE WITHOUT CHOICES HAVE TO DRIVE AND THE RESULTING TRAFFIC CONGESTION IS FURTHER DAMAGING OUR ENVIRONMENT, PUBLIC HEALTH, AND QUALITY OF LIFE. THE BEST WAY TO REDUCE EMISSIONS, RELIEVE TRAFFIC CONGESTION, AND INVEST IN MODERNIZING OUR TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM IS WITH A STRONG TRANSPORTATION AND CLIMATE INITIATIVE (TCI). TCI IS A REGIONAL COLLABORATION OF 12 NORTHEASTERN AND MID-ATLANTIC STATES AND WASHINGTON DC. IT IS A CAP AND INVEST SYSTEM THAT WOULD LIMIT TRANSPORTATION EMISSIONS AND ISSUE A FEE ON FUEL IMPORTS TO FUND SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS. IF PROPERLY STRUCTURED, POLICY CREATED THROUGH TCI COULD MITIGATE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS FROM TRANSPORTATION, INVEST IN MUCH-NEEDED PUBLIC TRANSIT, ALLEVIATE CONGESTION, AND GENERATE A REVENUE STREAM TO FUND FUTURE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS.TCI IS A ONCE IN A GENERATION OPPORTUNITY TO REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND RAISE MUCH NEEDED REVENUE TO MODERNIZE OUR TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ON A REGIONAL SCALE. MASSACHUSETTS HAS BEEN LEADING THE CHARGE TOWARD A STRONG TRANSPORTATION AND CLIMATE INITIATIVE. ELM IS WORKING WITH OUR PARTNERS ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH AND IN THE OTHER TCI STATES TO SUPPORT THE INITIATIVE. AS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONTINUES TO ROLL BACK ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS PUTTING PUBLIC HEALTH AT RISK, JOINING TOGETHER ACROSS THE REGION COULD RECENT ACHIEVEMENTSPARTNERSHIPSELM WORKS WITH A WIDE RANGE OF NONPROFIT, CORPORATE AND GOVERNMENT PARTNERS TO PROTECT THE MASSACHUSETTS ENVIRONMENT.CORPORATE COUNCIL: WE LAUNCHED THE ELM CORPORATE COUNCIL TO BUILD A BRIDGE BETWEEN THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNITY AND LEADING MASSACHUSETTS COMPANIES THAT HAVE DEMONSTRATED INNOVATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES OR PRACTICES.MASSACHUSETTS SMART GROWTH ALLIANCE: AS A MEMBER OF THE MASSACHUSETTS SMART GROWTH ALLIANCE (MSGA), ELM JOINS WITH HOUSING, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, PLANNING, AND CONSERVATION GROUPS, AS WELL AS OTHER INTERESTED CITIZENS AND ORGANIZATIONS IN OUR COMMONWEALTH. NATIONALLY, THE SGA HAS A COLLECTIVE MEMBERSHIP IN THE THOUSANDS. IN MASSACHUSETTS, WE HAVE 6 SMART GROWTH ALLIANCE PARTNERS.OUR OBJECTIVES INCLUDE IMPROVING DEVELOPMENT CONCEPTION AND PLANNING, PPRESERVING OUR HERITAGE RESOURCES, EXPANDING CHOICES IN HOUSING AND TRANSPORTATION FOR RESIDENTS OF ALL INCOMES, SEEKING WAYS TO MAKE URBAN LIVING HEALTHIER AND MORE ATTRACTIVE, AND SEEKING WAYS TO BALANCE OUR NEEDS FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT WITH OUR NEEDS TO SUSTAIN AND IMPROVE OUR ENVIRONMENT.T4MA - TRANSPORTATION FOR MASSACHUSETTS: T4MA - TRANSPORTATION FOR MASSACHUSETTS IS A BROAD COALITION OF 30 ORGANIZATIONS REPRESENTING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS COMMITTED TO BUILDING A 21ST CENTURY TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM FOR MASSACHUSETTS. OUR MEMBERS ARE FOCUSED ON DIFFERENT CAUSES - FROM SOCIAL JUSTICE TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT - BUT WE ALL SEE TRANSPORTATION AS VITAL TO MASSACHUSETTS AND OUR SHARED FUTURE.NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION: ELM IS THE MASSACHUSETTS AFFILIATE OF THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION (NWF). ELM WORKS CLOSELY WITH NWF ON A VARIETY OF ISSUES, INCLUDING EFFORTS TO COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE AND TO PROTECT WILDLIFE. ELM BECAME NWF'S MASSACHUSETTS AFFILIATE IN 1992. 744580 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 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 1 0 0 0 1 7 0 1 12 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 26 25 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MA X X CORPORATION 6177422553 15 COURT SQUARE NO 1000 BOSTON MA 02108 SETH JAFFE DIRECTOR 5.00 2.00 X 0 0 0 ANN FOWLER WALLACE DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 HENRY BELL JR DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 ALEXANDER BOK DIRECTOR 5.00 2.00 X 0 0 0 WILLIAM G CONSTABLE DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT FISHMAN DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 NAMRITA KAPUR DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 ANNE KELLY DIRECTOR 5.00 2.00 X 0 0 0 KEN KIMMELL DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 RICK MATTILA DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 MATT PATSKY DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 ANN C ROOSEVELT DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 GWEN RUTA DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 TEDD SAUNDERS DIRECTOR 5.00 2.00 X 0 0 0 ROB TUCHMANN CLERK 5.00 X X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH HENRY PRESIDENT 40.00 2.00 X X 126242 0 13751 BETHANY PATTEN TREASURER 5.00 X X 0 0 0 ANDY MIMS DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 ISABEL GRANTHAM RAPPOPORT DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 DHIRAJ MALKANI DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 VIRGINIA LAWRENCE DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 ALICIA BARTON DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 PETE PEDERSEN CHAIR 5.00 2.00 X X 0 0 0 GORDON BURNES DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 BENJAMIN DOWNING DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT TAYLOR DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 126242 0 13751 1 0 0 0 0 109327 917917 5268 1027244 13126 13126 79892 65146 14746 14746 14746 28511 109327 58562 -30051 -30051 MANAGEMENT SERVICES AC 561000 45898 45898 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 561499 300 300 46198 1071263 45898 0 -1879 140603 103630 17689 19284 541889 381348 57624 102917 45762 32083 4794 8885 46858 33269 5155 8434 11500 8165 1265 2070 4488 4488 55755 48571 5360 1824 722 543 87 92 52739 29741 12687 10311 101042 71740 11114 18188 7711 7351 227 133 4336 3274 372 690 3500 2485 385 630 7641 5495 858 1288 SUBSCRIPTIONS AND DUES 19220 16885 1352 983 1043766 744580 123457 175729 591310 551591 190507 258400 460 300 2937 6012 33982 26446 9920 7536 636803 704721 15800 15800 1447737 1544360 52504 75933 52504 75933 X 1104351 1121645 240500 346782 50382 0 1395233 1468427 1447737 1544360 27497 45697 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 784193 967312 783569 1182944 1027244 4745262 784193 967312 783569 1182944 1027244 4745262 1289626 3455636 9984 8294 9682 12499 13126 53585 56887 51211 56212 46198 210508 5009355 0.68980 0.68250 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 11962 9787 21749 1022017 1043766 179377 44844 0 0 170323 152927 167124 179377 669751 1004627 67382 53322 21458 21749 163911 42581 38232 41781 44844 167438 251157 42114 33326 11802 11962 99204 50382 50382 50382 50382 50382 50382 50382 50382 50382 50382 1.00000 0 0 12254 7454 4800 21728 18992 2736 0 7536 PART V, LINE 4: PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS CONSIST OF THE MARKETABLE SECURITIES HELD IN THE MCCLINTOCK FUND, IN WHICH THE ORIGINAL CONTRIBUTIONS ARE TO BE INVESTED IN PERPETUITY, AND ALL EARNINGS THEREON MAY BE USED FOR GENERAL PURPOSES.
