LOGGING AND CLEARING IS OFTEN JUST THE FIRST STEP IN A SEQUENCE OF NEW USES--MINING, AGRICULTURAL PLANTATIONS, AND GRAZING--CONVERTING LAND FROM PRIMARY TROPICAL FOREST TO BARE LANDS DEPLETED OF NUTRIENTS, WHICH CANNOT SUPPORT FORESTS FOR YEARS TO COME. THE VERY REAL ECONOMIC NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN AND NEAR THESE FORESTS ARE A PART OF THIS EQUATION THAT CANNOT BE NEGLECTED. THE ECOMADERA PROGRAM OF THE PINCHOT INSTITUTE DEVELOPS BUSINESSES CENTERED ON THE PROTECTION AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF PRIMARY TROPICAL FORESTS IN ECUADOR. WITH ECOMADERA THE INSTITUTE IS PIONEERING A NEW KIND OF LONG-LASTING MODEL OF CONSERVATION. THROUGH WORK WITH ECOLOGISTS, WOOD EXPERTS, AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES THE INSTITUTE HAS DEVELOPED A FOREST-BASED ECONOMY THAT PRESERVES THE DIVERSITY AND ABUNDANCE OF THE SURROUNDING TROPICAL FORESTS. THROUGH LIGHT-TOUCH FORESTRY--USING A FEW TREES OF MANY DIFFERENT SPECIES (NOT ALL THE TREES OF ONE OR TWO SPECIES), WORKING IN THE WOODS, AND MOVING BOARDS ON ROPES ABOVE THE FOREST FLOOR TO SMALL COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS THAT MAKE COUNTERTOPS, FLOORING, WINDOWS, AND DOORS--ECOMADERA TURNS THE ECOLOGICAL VALUE OF INTACT TROPICAL FORESTS TO AN ECONOMIC VALUE FOR LOCALS. BY PROTECTING LAND AND EMPLOYING PEOPLE THIS MODEL IS AN ALTERNATIVE TO OTHER ECONOMIC OPTIONS THAT DESTROY FORESTS. 238230 18498 0 COMMON WATERS AND THE DELAWARE RIVER WATERSHED INITIATIVE: MORE THAN 5% OF THE U.S. POPULATION DRINKS WATER FROM THE DELAWARE RIVER WATERSHED, THE SAME WATER THAT ALSO HELPS GENERATE ELECTRICITY, SUPPORTS BUSINESSES, AND SUSTAINS RICH ECOSYSTEMS IN THE RIVER. THE RIVER, ITS TRIBUTARIES, AND THE FORESTS FROM WHICH THEY FLOW ARE THE LIFEBLOOD OF THE ECONOMY AND NATURAL HERITAGE IN THE REGION. LITTLE OF THE FOREST IS PROTECTED AND SO ITS FATE, AND ALONG WITH IT THE FATE OF THE RIVER, LIES IN THE HANDS OF THOUSANDS OF LANDOWNERS AND HUNDREDS OF COMMUNITIES. WORKING TOGETHER TO PROTECT THE DELAWARE RIVER WATERSHED IS THE PURPOSE OF THE INSTITUTE-LED COMMON WATERS INITIATIVE. COMMON WATERS IS A PARTNERSHIP OF MORE THAN 50 ORGANIZATIONS THAT TOGETHER LAUNCH COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS TO PROTECT FORESTS THAT ARE THE SOURCE WATER AREAS FOR THE DELAWARE RIVER. THE COMMON WATERS FUND WORKS WITH MORE THAN 100 LANDOWNERS ON PLANS AND PROJECTS THAT PROTECT THE WATERSHED. THE PARTNERSHIP ALSO DEVELOPED A CLIMATE ADAPTATION PLAN FOR THE HEADWATERS REGION TO HELP COMMUNITIES IMPROVE THEIR RESILIENCY AND BE BETTER PREPARED TO DEAL WITH CHANGING WEATHER PATTERNS, FLOODING AND FOREST HEALTH ISSUES. WE ARE ALSO NOW WORKING THROUGHOUT THE WATERSHED WITH PARTNERS INVOLVED IN THE WILLIAM PENN FOUNDATION'S DELAWARE RIVER WATERSHED INITIATIVE--PROTECTING LAND, MONITORING CHANGE, AND DEVELOPING THE SCIENCE THAT CAN DIRECT EFFORTS IN THE FUTURE. THE INSTITUTE'S GOAL IS TO CONSERVE FORESTS IN ORDER TO PROTECT SOURCES OF HIGH-QUALITY DRINKING WATER, AND REDUCE THE SEVERITY OF FLOODS AND DROUGHTS. THIS WORK BENEFITS MILLIONS OF PEOPLE, WHILE PROTECTING WILDLIFE HABITAT AND SUSTAINING THE VITALITY OF COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE WATERSHED. 149539 0 0 FOREST HEALTH - HUMAN HEALTH INITIATIVE: AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE WORLD NEEDS TO KEEP CARBON DIOXIDE OUT THE ATMOSPHERE, SOME PARTS OF THE U.S. ARE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER A CENTURY BEGINNING TO LOSE FORESTS. WE ARE NOT LOSING PUBLIC FORESTS, ALTHOUGH MANY NATIONAL PARKS AND FORESTS WILL OVER THE COMING DECADES RELEASE MORE CARBON DIOXIDE INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. THE U.S. IS LOSING PRIVATE LANDS, OFTEN WHEN THE OWNERS OF THESE FORESTS CANNOT PAY THE BILLS ANYMORE OR FACE UNEXPECTED MEDICAL EXPENSES. THROUGH THE FOREST HEALTH - HUMAN HEALTH INITIATIVE THE INSTITUTE HELPS LANDOWNERS KEEP THEIR LANDS, BY DEVELOPING CARBON PROJECTS THAT CAN GENERATE INCOME AND PAY FOR HEALTH CARE. OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS FOREST CARBON MARKETS HAVE ARISEN AS ONE WAY TO COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE, BUT THESE MARKETS ARE HARD TO ACCESS, ESPECIALLY FOR SMALL LANDOWNERS AND THOSE MOST AT RISK. THE FOREST HEALTH - HUMAN HEALTH INITIATIVE IS ONE OF THE ONLY EFFORTS TRYING TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR THESE KINDS LANDOWNERS TO KEEP THEIR LANDS FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. WE ARE COMBINING FINANCING THROUGH CARBON MARKETS WITH FINANCIAL INCENTIVES PROVIDED BY GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, TO MAXIMIZE THE OUTCOMES OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INVESTMENT. IT IS THE KIND OF CHALLENGE THAT THE INSTITUTE IS KNOWN FOR TACKLING, AND AN IMPORTANT ONE IF THE U.S. WANTS TO PRESERVE ITS VAST FOREST CARBON RESERVES. 651601 79855 273358 OTHER VARIOUS PROGRAM SERVICES 651601 79855 273358 1290073 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 22 0 9 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 AL AK AR CA CO CT DC FL GA HI IL KS KY LA ME MD MA MI MN MS MO NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WV WI X X THE ORGANIZATION 2027976580 1400 16TH ST NW NO 350 WASHINGTON DC 20036 ANITA L MIELERT SECRETARY 5.00 X X 0 0 0 CAROL COLLIER DIRECTOR, AT LARGE 5.00 X 0 0 0 DALE BOSWORTH DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 DR JAMES R GRACE DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 DR JOYCE K BERRY CHAIR 5.00 X X 0 0 0 DR KENT CONNAUGHTON DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 FREDERICK B HENDRICKS MD DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 J ROBERT HICKS JR DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 JACKSON F ENO DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 KENNETH H KLIPSTEIN DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 KENNETH J WARREN DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 LARRY QUINN DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 MALCOLM MCALPIN DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 NICHOLAS H NILES VICE CHAIR 5.00 X X 0 0 0 PAUL H WILSON JR TREASURER 5.00 X X 0 0 0 THOMAS KIRKWOOD DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 WADE MOSBY DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 DR V ALARIC SAMPLE PRESIDENT & CEO 40.00 X 190011 0 31538 JENNIFER YEAGER CFO 40.00 X 94389 0 11919 284400 0 43457 1 0 1 0 0 2375 560066 816772 1379213 CORPORATE CONTRACTS 900099 188679 188679 PROGRAM REVENUE 900099 4679 4679 193358 18 18 22860 0 22860 22860 22860 ACCRUED LEAVE WRITE DO 900099 80000 80000 80000 1675449 273358 0 22878 X 146768 146768 2500 2500 113355 113355 327857 234837 84853 8167 271615 193633 71693 6289 15585 15585 187062 146070 35466 5526 120330 120330 16066 16066 389993 389993 63520 31962 29696 1862 89199 89199 20429 18426 1826 177 25344 6612 18732 174 174 2798 2798 9506 9506 DUES AND REGISTRATIONS 6718 1877 4414 427 SUBSCRIPTIONS 3546 778 1473 1295 INDUSTRIAL FUNDING FEE 464 464 1812829 1290073 499013 23743 284641 220496 776597 848008 16527 27311 13986 10723 6061 3263 123666 5002 3620 3620 1211112 1107700 308656 344177 6112 3235 314768 347412 X -44344 -54148 940688 814436 896344 760288 1211112 1107700 -137380 1324 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1568060 1900202 1874123 1743889 1258883 8345157 1568060 1900202 1874123 1743889 1258883 8345157 669644 7675513 54 514 1955 21779 22878 47180 118 5037 75 80000 85230 8477567 598176 0.90540 0.90840 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 53450 1100 54550 36050 17400 53450 36050 36050 11550 24500 36050 6340 5210 11550 0 0 13986 10723 3263 3263 CAPITAL LEASE 3235 3235 X 1676773 1324 1324 1675449 0 1675449 1812829 0 1812829 0 1812829 PART V, LINE 4: THE ORGANIZATION ESTABLISHED THE ENDOWMENT FUND TO HELP ENSURE THE INSTITUTE'S LONG-TERM FINANCIAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING.
