WE WORK AT THE INTERSECTIONS OF HUMANS AND WILDLIFE IN MEXICO, UGANDA, AND THE US. BY PROVIDING COMMUNITIES WITH HEALTH-CONSCIOUS, ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY METHODS OF FOOD PRODUCTION AND COOKING, WE HELP PEOPLE AND NATURE PROSPER TOGETHER. WE HAVE TWO PROGRAMS: OUR FUEL-EFFICIENT STOVE PROGRAM, AND OUR SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE PROGRAM. 0 1 1227203 75924 SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE: THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES AQUAPONIC SYSTEMS TO COMMUNITIES FOR THE PURPOSE OF REDUCING FOOD INSECURITY, DEVELOPING LOCALIZED FOOD DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS, AND PROVIDING EDUCATION ON SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE METHODS. AQUAPONICS SYSTEMS COMBINE AQUACULTURE (RAISING AQUATIC ANIMALS) AND HYDROPONICS (CULTIVATING PLANTS IN WATER), ALLOWING USERS TO GROW PRODUCE WITH 90% LESS LAND AND WATER WHILE ELIMINATING POLLUTION FROM AGRICULTURAL RUNOFF, REDUCING HABITAT DESTRUCTION, AND ELIMINATING CHEMICAL POLLUTION AND PESTICIDES. THE AQUAPONICS INNOVATION CENTER SERVES AS A FACILITY FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY PROVIDING SUSTAINABLE PRODUCE TO LOCAL FOOD PANTRIES. THE MODULAR AQUAPONICS RESPONSE KIT (M.A.R.K.) IS CONSTRUCTED IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES TO INCREASE FOOD SYSTEM AUTONOMY.COMMUNITY BASED CONSERVATION: THE PROGRAM HELPS PEOPLE AND NATURE PROSPER BY PROVIDING FUEL EFFICIENT PATSARI STOVES TO REPLACE TRADITIONAL OPEN-FIRE COOKSTOVES IN COMMUNITIES AROUND THE MONARCH BUTTERFLY BIOSPHERE RESERVE IN MEXICO. THE PATSARI STOVE CHANNELS TOXIC SMOKE OUT OF THE HOME SO FAMILIES CAN BREATHE CLEAN AIR WHILE REDUCING FUEL USE AND CARBON EMISSIONS. THE PROGRAM EMPOWERS COMMUNITIES BY PROVIDING EQUITABLE ACCESS TO CLEAN ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES THAT POSITIVELY IMPACT COMMUNITY HEALTH AND THE CONSERVATION OF LOCAL ECOSYSTEMS. THE VERIFIED EMISSION REDUCTIONS PRODUCED FROM THE PROGRAM ARE MONETIZED ON THE VOLUNTARY CARBON MARKET TO FUND IMPLEMENTATION. 1227203 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 13 0 1 9 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X X X THE ORGANIZATION 7607401346 2810 PIO PICO DRIVE CARLSBAD CA 92008 WILLIAM TOONE TREASURER 40.00 X X 87577 0 0 RICARDO CERVANTES TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 ELEANOR MUSICK TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 JOSEPH ORNDORFF TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 STEPHEN W SHULTZ TRUSTEE (UNTIL 6/2023) 0.25 X 0 0 0 DARYL B WILLIAMS TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 FRED WOLLMAN CFO 0.50 X X 0 0 0 AJ VAN DE VEN CHAIR/SECRETARY 0.50 X X 0 0 0 PAUL BERNSTEIN TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 JESSE EISNER TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 ANNE MIDDLETON EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (UNTIL 8/2023) 40.00 X 70056 0 2089 157633 0 2089 0 0 0 0 0 209332 1574851 1784183 MONARCH MEXICO TRIP IN 900099 19633 19633 19633 3224 3224 700 0 700 700 700 133954 209332 60204 73750 73750 28598 19715 8883 8883 CARBON INCOME 900099 45154 45154 OTHER INCOME 900099 2254 2254 47408 1937781 75924 0 77674 159722 103573 34745 21404 391315 253751 85124 52440 17911 11614 3897 2400 57859 42148 9409 6302 57693 39808 9808 8077 45371 45371 1600 1600 91107 68803 13420 8884 1049 441 500 108 11027 4389 2861 3777 64460 38658 17631 8171 24709 23508 1201 6584 6214 53 317 107 107 800 800 20749 13288 6309 1152 PROGRAM EXPENSES 616308 616308 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 8826 4250 2468 2108 SUPPLIES 2995 77 2918 CLIENT RELATIONS 794 319 317 158 347 -53 400 1581333 1227203 192260 161870 139169 259053 10035 50622 13027 50626 368539 1041 18859 14650 13050 2400 1600 193958 450452 0 99468 410256 1248593 58309 44018 45212 366095 63000 10087 92340 113608 565453 X 102690 98865 193958 584275 296648 683140 410256 1248593 356448 30044 0 X 0 0 0 X 1329098 1230317 1392280 1210016 1784183 6945894 120186 63145 52558 116739 48231 400859 137449 133954 271403 1449284 1293462 1444838 1464204 1966368 7618156 653000 610000 1072000 2335000 0 653000 610000 1072000 2335000 5283156 171 55 31106 30 3224 34586 171 55 31106 30 3224 34586 109200 89962 47408 246570 1449455 1293517 1585144 1554196 2017000 7899312 0.66880 0.96940 0.00440 0.00420 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 193958 150000 28757 1388 371327 211613 -16760 895 193958 181344 31091 822 211613 161815 19529 181344 161815 161815 1.00000 1 0 4000 2400 1600 10650 10650 0 1600 SAN DIEGO FOUNDATION 213143 F VOYA FINANCIAL 33 F SANTA FE FOUNDATION: SCHOOLFIELD ENDOWMENT 158184 F SANTA FE FOUNDATION: TOONE/BLACK FUND 79092 F 450452 SECURITY DEPOSITS 7980 RIGHT OF USE ASSET, NET 91488 99468 LEASE LIABILITY 92340 92340 PART V, LINE 4: EARNINGS FROM THE SAN DIEGO FOUNDATION ENDOWMENT FUND ARE USED FOR PAYMENT TOWARD THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S SALARY.

INITIATIVE IS PART OF COMMUNITY PROGRAM SERVICES AND AIMS TO INCREASE LOCAL FOOD SECURITY, EMPOWER COMMUNITIES WITH FOOD SOVEREIGNTY, AND PROVIDE EDUCATION IN SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE METHODS. COMMUNITY BASED CONSERVATION: IN ORDER TO FOCUS ATTENTION AND RESOURCES ON ACCOMPLISHING PROGRAM GOALS IN MEXICO, THE ORGANIZATION CEASED IMPLEMENTATION OF CLEAN COOKSTOVES IN THE COUNTRY OF UGANDA. THE COMMUNITY BASED CONSERVATION PROGRAM IS ONLY IMPLEMENTED IN MEXICO THROUGH THE INSTALLATION OF PATSARI CLEAN COOKSTOVES. AS MENTIONED IN THE PROGRAM SERVICES DESCRIPTION, THE CLEAN COOKSTOVES INSTALLED AS PART OF THE PROGRAM REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS. THE VERIFIED EMISSION REDUCTIONS PRODUCED FROM THE PROGRAM ARE MONETIZED ON THE VOLUNTARY CARBON MARKET TO FUND IMPLEMENTATION. EMISSION REDUCTIONS ARE VERIFIED BY THIRD PARTY AUDITING AND CERTIFIED BY METHODOLOGY REVIEW. EXPENSES RELATED TO THE VERIFICATION AND INCOME FROM THE MONETIZATION OF EMISSION REDUCTIONS ARE TRACKED UNDER THE CARBON CREDITS PROGRAMS CLASS. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT CONSIDERED A SEPARATE PROGRAM AS IT IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO AND RESULTS FROM THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE COMMUNITY BASED CONSERVATION PROGRAM.
