THROUGH ITS COMMUNITY-BASED RESTORATION PROGRAM (CRP), RAE JOINS WITH GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, CORPORATIONS, CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS, SCIENTISTS, AND LOCAL VOLUNTEERS ON RESTORATION PROJECTS WITH TANGIBLE IMPACTS. AMONG OUR GOALS ARE THE RETURN OF ABUNDANT FISHERIES, STRONG LOCAL ECONOMIES, AND SHORELINES THAT ARE RESILIENT TO STORMS AND FLOODING. RAE'S CRP HAS SUPPORTED HUNDREDS OF LOCAL RESTORATION PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES, ACHIEVING REAL MEANINGFUL RESULTS, AND ENGAGING PEOPLE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES IN THE PROTECTION OF THEIR NATURAL RESOURCES. 735770 635500 2018 NATIONAL SUMMIT: RAE'S SUMMIT ON COASTAL AND ESTUARINE RESTORATION AND MANAGEMENT IS AN INTERNATIONAL GATHERING ENCOMPASSING ALL DISCIPLINES WITHIN THE COASTAL AND ESTUARINE RESTORATION AND MANAGEMENT COMMUNITIES. RAE WORKED WITH 200 PARTNERING AND SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS TO DEVELOP AND HOST THE SUMMIT AND WE SAW NEARLY 1,000 ATTENDEES FROM THE RESTORATION AND MANAGEMENT COMMUNITIES: NON-PROFIT AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, ACADEMIC AND RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS, BUSINESSES WITH AN INTEREST IN THE COAST, AND AGENCIES FROM ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT. THE SUMMIT PROVIDES TIMELY AND MUCH-NEEDED ATTENTION TO THE CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR COASTAL AND ESTUARINE RESTORATION AND MANAGEMENT. IT BRINGS TOGETHER A UNIQUE BLEND OF PEOPLE WHO ARE INVOLVED IN POLICY, SCIENCE, STRATEGY, BUSINESS, AND ON-THE-GROUND RESTORATION AND MANAGEMENT. THE 2018 SUMMIT PROGRAM ADDRESSED ALL ASPECTS OF COASTAL AND ESTUARINE RESTORATION AND MANAGEMENT, IN ALL ECOSYSTEMS, AT ALL SCALES, AND IN ALL REGIONS, INCLUDING THE GREAT LAKES AND INTERNATIONAL LOCALES. THESE TOPICS ARE CRUCIAL AS COASTAL COMMUNITIES PURSUE NEW, MORE ROBUST STRATEGIES TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE, PROTECT, AND RESTORE THEIR RESOURCES IN A CHANGING CLIMATE. ENSURING THESE RESOURCES, AND THE COMMUNITIES THAT RELY ON THEM, ARE RESILIENT NOW AND INTO THE FUTURE WILL BE A PARTICULAR FOCUS. 432303 205988 SOUTHEAST NEW ENGLAND PROGRAM (SNEP) WATERSHED GRANTS:IN 2017 RAE ENTERED A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT WITH THE U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY TO DEVELOP AND MANAGE A REGIONAL GRANTS PROGRAM THAT FUNDS PROJECTS TO RESTORE CLEAN WATER AND HEALTHY COASTAL ECOSYSTEMS FROM CAPE COD, MA TO WESTERLY, RI. THROUGH THIS PROGRAM RAE HAS AWARDED MORE THAN $4.3 MILLION TO DATE, TO STATE AGENCIES, NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, MUNICIPALITIES, UNIVERSITIES AND REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSIONS. RAE IS IN THE PROCESS OF AWARDING $2.3 MILLION FOR SNEP WATERSHED GRANTS IN 2019, AND INTENDS TO AWARD ANOTHER $2.3 MILLION IN 2020. 65783 47720 COASTAL BLUE CARBON INITIATIVE: COASTAL WETLAND ECOSYSTEMS, SUCH AS SEA GRASS BEDS, MANGROVES, SALT MARSH, AND OTHER TIDAL WETLANDS, REMOVE CARBON DIOXIDE FROM THE ATMOSPHERE AND STORE CARBON IN WETLAND SILS. RAE'S BLUE CARBON INITIATIVE SEEKS TO INCREASE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INVESTMENT IN AND PRIORIZATION OF ESTUARY HABITAT RESTORATION THROUGH THE RECOGNITION OF THE CLIMATE MILTIGATION VALUES OF THESE HABITATS.LIVING SHORELINES: COASTAL COMMUNITIES AROUND THE COUNTRY FACE INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT AND COSTLY CHALLENGES DUE TO SEA-LEVEL RISE, INCREASED SEVERITY OF STORMS, AND SIMILAR PROBLEMS. HISTORICALLY, THE RESPONSE HAS BEEN "HARD" SOLUTIONS, SUCH AS SEA WALLS AND BULKHEADS, WHICH ACTUALLY WORSEN STORM HAZARD RISKS, EROSION, AND LOSS OF HABITAT. LIVING SHORELINES AND NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS ARE A SUITE OF TECHNIQUES USING "SOFTER" APPROACHES UNIQUELY TAILORED TO EACH SITE, WHICH HELP STABILIZE SHORELINES WHILE INCREASING HABITAT VALUE. RAE'S LIVING SHORELINES PROGRAM WORKS TO RAISE AWARENESS OF THESE SOFTER APPROACHES AND INCREASE THEIR USE VIA EFFORTS SUCH AS OUR NATIONAL WORKSHOP IN OAKLAND, CA IN FEBRUARY 2018, LIVING SHORELINES ACADEMY, MONTHLY CONVENING OF THE COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE, FEDERAL POLICY AND LEGISLATIVE WORK - INCLUDING UPCOMING NATIONAL LEGISLATION, AND MORE. 65783 47720 2225986 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 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 15 0 10 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 AL AK AZ AR CA CO CT GA IL KS ME MD MA MI MN MS NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA TN UT VA WA WI FL KY LA RI SC X X JEFFREY BENOIT 7035240248 2300 CLARENDON BOULEVARD SUITE 603 ARLINGTON VA 22201 STEVEN DUBIEL CHAIRMAN 2.00 X X 0 0 0 TODD MILLER VICE CHAIRMAN 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ROBERT STOKES TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 KIMBERLY DAVIS REYHER SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 CURT JOHNSON DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 JONATHAN F STONE DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 TIM DILLINGHAM DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 PETER CLARK DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID LEWIS DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 LISA FELDT DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 JEFFREY BENOIT PRESIDENT & CEO 40.00 X 174580 0 19321 ELSA SCHWARTZ SENIOR DIRECTOR OF RESTORATION AND ADMINISTRATION 40.00 X 100940 0 15639 275520 0 34960 2 0 1 0 SMG FOOD & BEVERAGE LLC 300 E OCEAN BLVD LONG BEACH CA 90802 CATERING 124705 1 1343111 371803 1714914 CONFERENCE AND MEETING 900099 635500 635500 AFFILIATE DUES 900099 45600 45600 ADVERTISING 541800 8000 8000 689100 8192 8192 MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE 900099 2120 2120 2120 2414326 683220 8000 8192 684196 684196 193901 164349 16689 12863 666663 565051 57386 44226 27228 23079 2343 1806 83008 70357 7145 5506 58086 49233 5000 3853 14837 12966 1871 197253 173835 18418 5000 11705 11705 19658 8099 11559 54652 2389 50696 1567 56873 41925 14586 362 400229 400229 6720 4379 1374 967 MERCHANT FEES 18033 11750 3688 2595 PUBLICATIONS AND PRINTI 10358 10079 279 LICENSES AND FEES 4793 3122 981 690 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 4680 -930 5610 2607 1878 603 126 2515480 2225986 209933 79561 240437 184374 314083 288941 113482 266559 62929 150450 118749 5995 99733 132614 4452 4452 953865 1033385 128883 373341 83000 1444 21479 213327 394820 X 454907 476692 285631 161873 740538 638565 953865 1033385 -101154 -819 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 2407943 1752257 1968407 1795823 1714914 9639344 2407943 1752257 1968407 1795823 1714914 9639344 361496 9277848 8326 6335 4907 4560 8192 32320 4497 4497 100 5030 2120 7250 9683411 2502094 0.95810 0.96930 X 0 2515480 2515480 275774 68944 0 0 250251 286050 249942 275774 1062017 1593026 6150 44 6194 62570 71513 62486 68944 265513 398270 285631 28400 152158 161873 263371 275698 253438 285631 334666 339548 410843 263371 341430 284900 291664 334666 24966 427300 110836 341430 1.00000 0 0 0 CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT 132614 C 132614 DEFERRED RENT 21479 21479 X 2442007 -819 28500 27681 2414326 0 2414326 2543980 28500 28500 2515480 0 2515480 PART V, LINE 4: THE ORGANIZATION'S ENDOWMENT FUNDS ARE TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED IN NATURE AND PERTAIN TO PROJECTS IN WHICH DONORS HAVE RESTRICTED THE USE OF CONTRIBUTED FUNDS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
