THROUGH ITS COMMUNITY-BASED RESTORATION PROGRAM (CRP), RAE JOINS WITH GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, CORPORATION, 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 FUNDED HUNDREDS OF LOCAL RESTORATION PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES, ACHIEVING REAL RESULTS, ENGAGING PEOPLE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES, AND GIVING THEM A LIFELONG DESIRE TO RESTORE OUR COASTS. 476194 197183 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. 48766 10000 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, LIVING SHORELINES ACADEMY, COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE, FEDERAL POLICY WORK, AND MORE. 568702 50030 SNEP - RESTORE AMERICA'S ESTUARIES WAS SELECTED BY THE U.S. EPA TO MANAGE A COMPETITIVE SUB-AWARD GRANT PROGRAM TO SUPPORT PROJECTS THAT PROTECT, CONSERVE, AND RESTORE THE COASTAL ECOSYSTEMS AND THEIR WATERSHEDS IN SOUTHEAST NEW ENGLAND. RAE WILL CREATE AN ECOSYSTEM-SCALE, MULTI-STAKEHOLDER STRATEGY TO ASSIST EPA IN ADVANCING ECOSYSTEM RESILIENCY, PROTECT AND RESTORE HABITAT AND ECOSYSTEM FUNCTION, AND APPLY INNOVATIVE POLICY, SCIENCE, AND TECHNOLOGY TO THE MANAGEMENT OF THE COASTAL SYSTEMS IN THIS REGION. 568702 50030 1632576 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 13 0 1 12 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 9 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 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 JEFFREY BENOIT PRESIDENT & CEO 40.00 X 169290 0 17967 169290 0 17967 1 0 1 0 0 1285199 510624 1795823 AFFILIATE DUES 900099 45000 45000 45000 4560 4560 MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE 900099 5030 5030 5030 1850413 50030 0 4560 X 666851 666851 187257 132435 26451 28371 476461 336968 67305 72188 24604 17401 3475 3728 56167 39723 7934 8510 55496 39249 7839 8408 16563 15988 575 293509 283317 10192 25 25 5517 5517 19278 4753 14525 55278 1961 53286 31 72176 55850 15946 380 27887 27887 5171 50 1500 3621 LICENSES AND FEES 17425 170 5054 12201 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 6324 2595 1390 2339 PUBLICATIONS AND PRINTI 6188 5206 982 EQUIPMENT AND MAINTENAN 2833 2833 3825 2147 824 854 1998835 1632576 225628 140631 271942 240437 271332 314083 218280 113482 287666 62929 2209 118749 238979 99733 4452 4452 1294860 953865 398840 128883 83000 6820 1444 405660 213327 X 625829 454907 263371 285631 889200 740538 1294860 953865 -148422 -240 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 2567206 2407943 1752257 1968407 1795823 10491636 2567206 2407943 1752257 1968407 1795823 10491636 262886 10228750 12346 8326 6335 4907 4560 36474 19597 100 5030 24727 10552837 1936082 0.96930 0.99020 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1998835 1998835 249942 62486 0 0 313386 250251 286050 249942 1099629 1649444 11441 6150 44 17635 78347 62570 71513 62486 274916 412374 263371 275698 253438 285631 334666 339548 410843 263371 341430 284900 291664 334666 24966 427300 110836 341430 25000 144000 144034 24966 1.00000 0 0 0 CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT 99733 C 99733 DEFERRED RENT 1444 1444 X 1850173 -240 -240 1850413 0 1850413 1998835 0 1998835 0 1998835 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.
