NIA TERO SUPPORTS COMMUNITIES, OTHER COLLECTIVES AND INSTITUTIONS THAT UPHOLD INDIGENOUS GUARDIANSHIP WITHIN BIOCULTURAL SETTINGS THAT SATISFY THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA:(1) VITAL ECOSYSTEMS: LAND AND SEASCAPES ALIVE WITH ECOLOGICAL AND CULTURAL SYSTEMS ESSENTIAL TO THE WELL-BEING OF HUMAN COMMUNITIES WITHIN THEM, AND OF A SCALE AND INTEGRITY VITAL TO THE WELL-BEING OF ALL HUMANITY.(2) COLLECTIVELY HELD TERRITORIES: LANDS AND WATERS HELD BY INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES, ALTHOUGH NOT NECESSARILY WITH RECOGNIZED TENURE RIGHTS.(3) DURABLE INDIGENOUS GOVERNANCE AND AGENCY, OR STRONG POTENTIAL FOR THEM TO BE BUILT. ALL OF NIA TERO'S WORK ADHERES TO THE PRINCIPLES OF FREE, PRIOR, INFORMED CONSENT (FPIC) AND THE RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AS LAID OUT IN THE UNITED NATIONS DECLARATION ON THE RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES. 1 0 1711943 740048 PLACE-ANCHORED PARTNERSHIPS WITH INDIGENOUS PEOPLES: NIA TERO PARTNERS WITH INDIGENOUS PEOPLES WHO MANAGE COLLECTIVE TERRITORIES THAT HOLD ECOSYSTEMS VITAL FOR THEIR WELL-BEING AND OF A SCALE VITAL TO THE WELL-BEING OF ALL HUMANITY. WE ARE DEVELOPING REGIONAL STRATEGIES TOGETHER WITH INDIGENOUS LEADERS FROM OUR THREE INITIAL REGIONS: PACIFIC ISLANDS, AMAZONIA AND THE CANADIAN BOREAL. WE EXPECT THAT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE STRATEGIES WILL RESULT IN THE MAINTENANCE OR IMPROVEMENT OF THE WELL-BEING OF OUR PARTNERS AND IN THE STRENGTHENING OF TERRITORIAL GUARDIANSHIP. WE ANTICIPATE ADDITIONAL OUTCOMES SUCH AS DEEPENED RECOGNITION AND EXPANDED APPLICATION OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES' EXPERTISE TO LOCAL AND GLOBAL SUSTAINABILITY CHALLENGES, ESTABLISHMENT OF DURABLE SUPPORT MECHANISMS, AND THE PROLIFERATION OF INDIGENOUS GUARDIANSHIP GLOBALLY. 592686 10040 AMPLIFICATION AND SCALING: ENABLING CONDITIONS ARE NEEDED FOR EACH OF NIA TERO'S PLACE-ANCHORED PARTNERSHIPS TO SUCCEED AND FOR NIA TERO TO ACHIEVE ITS MISSION. TO SECURE AND AMPLIFY OUR PARTNERSHIPS, NIA TERO IS INVESTING IN KEY ACTIONS THAT SUPPORT POLICY ESSENTIAL TO THE SECURITY OF INDIGENOUS GUARDIANSHIP, CULTURAL CONTINUITY AND SPIRITUALITY AMONG OUR PARTNERS, ECOSYSTEM AND SOCIAL MONITORING SYSTEMS, AND MECHANISMS TO SECURE DURABLE SUPPORT FOR INDIGENOUS GUARDIANSHIP. WE ALSO INTEND TO INVEST IN STORYTELLING TO AMPLIFY THE IMPORTANCE OF EQUITABLE PARTNERSHIP WITH INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AS A WAY OF ADDRESSING SOME OF THE GREAT SOCIO-ENVIRONMENTAL/CULTURAL CHALLENGES OF OUR TIME. 433624 266340 KNOWLEDGE AND LEARNING: NIA TERO IS COMMITTED TO GATHERING KNOWLEDGE THAT CAN ENABLE MEASUREMENT OF THE IMPACT OF OUR PARTNERSHIPS THROUGH BOTH STANDARD SOCIAL AND ECOLOGICAL INDICATORS AS WELL AS INDICATORS OF WELL-BEING DEFINED BY OUR INDIGENOUS PARTNERS THEMSELVES. THIS WILL REQUIRE DEVELOPING SYSTEMS THAT COMBINE EXTERNALLY DEFINED AND MEASURED METRICS WITH BIOCULTURAL METRICS DEFINED AND MEASURED BY OUR PARTNERS THEMSELVES. ADDITIONALLY, NIA TERO RECOGNIZES THE ESSENTIAL NEED TO PROLIFERATE LEARNING FROM INDIGENOUS GUARDIANSHIP OF VITAL ECOSYSTEMS AROUND THE GLOBE. WE SUPPORT RESEARCH TO FURTHER UNDERSTAND GLOBAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND IMPROVE BIO-CULTURAL APPROACHES TO MEASURING PROGRESS AGAINST LOCALLY DEFINED GOALS FOR ALL OUR PARTNERSHIPS. WE SEEK TO BUILD A ROBUST EVIDENCE BASE TO MAINSTREAM INDIGENOUS PEOPLES' GUARDIANSHIP AND UNDERSTANDING OF WELL-BEING, GLOBALLY. 1785048 ALL OF NIA TERO'S WORK IS DONE THROUGH AND WITH OTHERS, FROM THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES WHO INSPIRE AND LEAD US, TO OUR FOUNDING PARTNERS AND LIKE-MINDED INSTITUTIONS. NIA TERO HAS BEEN WORKING WITH REGIONAL AND GLOBAL ADVISORS, PLACE-ANCHORED PARTNERS, AND LIKE-MINDED INSTITUTIONS TO DESIGN AND DEVELOP STRATEGIES THAT WILL HELP US ACHIEVE OUR MISSION. 1785048 4523301 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 22 0 1 10 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 8 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 WA X JESSICA SCHROEDER 2063391293 501 E PINE ST NO 300 SEATTLE WA 98122 VICTORIA TAULI CORPUZ CHAIRMAN 2.00 X X 0 0 0 PAUL KLINGENSTEIN VICE CHAIRMAN 2.00 X X 0 0 0 LAURENE POWELL JOBS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANDY KARSNER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER MORRIS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KEVIN STARR DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MYRNA CUNNINGHAM DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 NAINOA THOMPSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PETER SELIGMANN PRESIDENT/CEO 40.00 X 545870 0 87690 CHRIS FILARDI SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT 40.00 X 226062 0 61056 LISA DEAN TREASURER/SECRETARY 40.00 X 182085 0 31871 DAVID ROTHSCHILD SENIOR PARTNER LEAD 40.00 X 140250 0 12544 MONIQUE LADA EXECUTIVE & BOARD MANAGER 40.00 X 114665 0 33706 1208932 0 226867 5 0 1 0 MRJ CONSTRUCTORS LLC PO BOX 3915 SEATTLE WA 98124 GENERAL CONTRACTOR 341421 LEIGH MORGAN 714 E PIKE ST UNIT 705 SEATTLE WA 98112 EXECUTIVE IN RESIDENCE 219000 JOHN REID 7505 HUNTLEY ST SEBASTOPOL CA 95472 PROGRAM STRATEGY SUPPORT 148000 BROOKE RUNNETTE 3543 QUEBEC ST NW WASHINGTON DC 20016 COMMUNICATIONS/STRATEGY AND SUPPORT 125000 CHRISTOPHER WALKER 4308 225TH ST SW MOUNTLAKE TERRACE WA 98043 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT SUPPOR 101000 5 150599440 150599440 248914 248914 LOSS ON FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES 900099 -952 -952 -952 150847402 0 0 247962 X 430398 430398 586030 586030 1435799 439912 995887 227832 109086 118746 9890 5020 4870 26931 13338 13593 79496 32343 47153 244000 244000 61535 17139 44396 6762 6762 1340 1340 1195713 1072752 122961 138921 75015 63906 57551 22486 35065 148446 80161 68285 906646 731499 175147 193588 182656 10932 38340 20704 17636 31457 16987 14470 PARTNER COLLABORATION, 687775 687775 6508450 4523301 1985149 0 384099 1666906 3509137 33135951 113599440 49265 15967 13818 130863 383392 38340 0 345052 2000 3958319 148894179 295962 892870 295962 892870 X 34401869 113599440 3662357 148001309 3958319 148894179 144338952 0 X 1 X 0 0 0 X 5000000 150599440 155599440 5000000 150599440 155599440 146147999 9451441 9925 248914 258839 -952 -952 155857327 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, SECTION A, LINE 5: EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS REPRESENTS THE NET PRESENT VALUE OF CONTRIBUTIONS PAYABLE OVER A 5-7 YEAR PERIOD. 383392 38340 345052 345052 1 EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC 0 0 GRANTMAKING 264316 EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC 0 12 PROGRAM SERVICES 135062 NORTH AMERICA 0 0 GRANTMAKING 2500 SOUTH AMERICA 0 0 GRANTMAKING 483273 0 12 0 0 0 12 885151 0 885151 SOUTH AMERICA PROGRAM DESIGN AND SUPPORT FOR THE VALE DO JAVARI INDIGENOUS TERRITORY 170000 WIRE TRANSFER SOUTH AMERICA ROADMAP FOR COLLECTIVE RIGHTS IN SURINAME 50000 WIRE TRANSFER SOUTH AMERICA CULTURAL EXCHANGE BETWEEN WAYANA AND THE HEILTSUK TERRITORY 11762 WIRE TRANSFER SOUTH AMERICA AMAZONIA: GUIANAS SHIELD-SURINAME 248970 WIRE TRANSFER EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT: REPAIRS FOR MARUMARU ATUA VAKA 95258 WIRE TRANSFER 4 1 FELLOWSHIP STIPEND EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC 2 5000 FELLOWSHIP STIPEND NORTH AMERICA 1 2500 FELLOWSHIP STIPEND SOUTH AMERICA 1 2540 0 0 0 0 0 0 PART I, LINE 2: NIA TERO EMPLOYS A VARIETY OF TECHNIQUES TO MONITOR GRANT FUNDS.
