FOR protects rivers from costly and environmentally destructive dams and diversions, particularly on the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers. We also protect rivers through state and federal wild and scenic designation. FOR restores rivers by improving streamflow and other aquatic habitat through the relicensing of non-federal dams in California. Finally, we engage the public through our grassroots network, earned media, educational river trips, and the River Advocacy Training School where volunteers are trained as river advocates and organize a series of outreach events over the five-month program. 310887 true true false true false false false false false true true false false true false true true false false false false false false false 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 true 6 0 true 6 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 10 10 false false false false false false false true true false false true true false true true true true true false X BOOKKEEPER 9164423155 1418 20TH STREET SACRAMENTO CA 95811 BOB CUSHMAN Chairman 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JEFF DEPEW VICE CHAIR 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 RICHARD WEISS Secretary 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARIAN BENDER Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JOHN YOST Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT ARMSTRONG Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DONELLE MORGAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JANN DORMAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KEVAN URQUHART Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER HUBER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ERIC WESSELMAN Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 79333 0 13405 79333 13405 0 false false false 0 11620 440505 452125 0 888 888 0 0 0 0 194117 11620 42031 152086 152086 0 0 OTHER INCOME 4049 4049 4049 609148 4049 152974 0 0 0 0 92738 74190 4637 13911 0 122578 87151 12470 22957 0 21133 15040 2142 3951 16841 12563 1371 2907 0 0 22760 22760 0 0 0 35113 31601 1756 1756 3750 348 361 3041 8485 5096 1934 1455 0 0 32381 29095 1628 1658 2423 1977 65 381 0 0 0 0 1221 568 625 28 10299 7997 570 1732 Printing and Publications 15445 2764 12681 EQUIPMENT LEASE & RENTAL 11496 9122 316 2058 BANK AND PAYROLL FEES 11411 11411 TELEPHONE, FAX & EMAIL 10347 7855 706 1786 39284 25520 4745 9019 457705 310887 67497 79321 137028 256660 0 61608 39836 0 0 0 0 0 3842 13127 31518 20030 4211 11488 0 0 0 0 11120 59146 217809 380257 17268 28273 17268 28273 X 83689 186562 116852 114551 50871 200541 351984 217809 380257 151443 X false true X true false X 432443 336551 406476 368596 452125 1996191 0 160718 161402 170523 181253 194117 868013 0 0 593161 497953 576999 549849 646242 2864204 0 21013 58497 82274 161784 21013 58497 82274 161784 2702420 1180 143 99 201 888 2511 0 1180 143 99 201 888 2511 0 6353 192 4049 10594 594341 504449 577290 550050 651179 2877309 0.93920 0.95330 0.00090 0.00110 X Support Schedule: Other Income Explanation RIVER FEES, MISCELLANEOUS false false true true false false false false true 5138 false false 5138 false false Part II-B, Line 1i - Other Activities Description LOBBIED TO PROTECT RIVERS IN CALIFORNIA. 49615 1410 154 50871 1.00000 true false false 31518 20030 11488 11488 BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN COMMUNITY FDN 50871 DEPOSITS 5866 OTHER ASSETS 2409 59146 X 1021748 412600 412600 609148 609148 870305 412600 412600 457705 457705 Part X : FIN48 Footnote Management of FOR has evaluated the tax positions and related income tax contingencies.
