CFROG works at the local level to build awareness of how fossil fuels impact our communities, and engages policy makers and other like-minded organizations to eliminate those impacts. CFROG also serves as a watchdog organization dedicated to ensuring that oil & gas operations are properly reviewed and legally compliant. 0 0 40252 My People, My Air/Mi Gente, Mi Aire - Program focuses on empowering environmental justice (EJ) communities and combating pollution burdens in vulnerable neighborhoods in Ventura County. This program has three primary areas of work: (1) Air monitoring program that collects air quality data to help inform EJ communities, supporting environmental policy changes, and encouraging local participation in decision-making processes. Program includes deployment of 21 air quality monitors that measure pollutants from production and burning of fossil fuels. (2) Sponsorship of the Environmental Voices Academy that teaches advocacy skills to local high school students including designing and implementing education and advocacy projects on negative health impacts from a natural gas compressor facility located near a local school and homes, pressing a local school district to convert to renewable energy, and raising awareness on local environmental issues. (3) In partnership with two local unions, work to create green jobs and train a skilled green workforce in Ventura County in industries such as renewable energy and electric vehicle infrastructure. 12817 Building Public Awareness on Local Fossil Fuel and Climate Issues CFROG continued its work to reduce environmental pollution from oil and gas operations and promote a clean energy future by raising awareness and educating local decision-makers and community members on the importance of adopting bold Climate Action Plans, expanding car electrification infrastructure, promoting renewable electricity, phasing out fossil fuel infrastructure, and monitoring progress made toward greenhouse gas emission reduction goals as set by the Ventura County 2040 General Plan. This has included sharing resources at community events, working with other like-minded community groups, creating and disseminating educational and background materials, and making presentations at local schools and community groups. 10797 Monitoring & Investigating Antiquated Conditional Use Permits CFROG continues its ongoing work monitoring all antiquated permits in Ventura County, including compliance, and pays especially close attention to new drilling applications on these permits. CFROG formally opposes projects in vulnerable areas. In Ventura County, a zoning ordinance loophole has made it possible for over 70 percent of active and idle oil and gas wells to operate on drilling permits awarded in the 1940s and 1950s. These grandfathered permits allow some oil companies to drill new wells, or begin fracking, without submitting to an updated environmental review. As part of our overall work on antiquated permits, it also meant supporting and educating the public about the environmental implications of a grassroots ballot initiative campaign that would have closed the permit loopholes and upheld a decision previously made by the Ventura County government to close the loopholes. The referendum was closely defeated and the loopholes remain open. 54221 The Organization has various other programs and community outreach efforts in support of its mission. 54221 118087 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 5 0 11 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X Suzanne Harvey 8052637408 PO Box 23003 Ventura CA 93002 Merrill Berge Board Chair 10.00 X X 0 0 0 Suzanne Harvey Treasurer 10.00 X X 0 0 0 Helen Conley Secretary 5.00 X X 0 0 0 John Brooks Board Member 10.00 X 0 0 0 Carol Holly Board Member 10.00 X 0 0 0 Tomas Rebecchi Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Karina Kaye Vice President 5.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 159516 164527 934 324043 51 51 Miscellaneous 3235 3235 3235 327329 3235 0 51 70890 39976 24783 6131 2887 2887 7547 4341 2673 533 9852 6606 3246 3358 2044 758 556 16447 15676 771 9693 9693 6228 3380 502 2346 9511 7333 909 1269 419 385 5 29 13422 13422 1738 770 590 378 CARB Program Equipment 7041 7041 Telephone and Internet 5595 5042 90 463 Other expenses 2175 1877 250 48 CARB Program Costs 501 501 167304 118087 37464 11753 389765 535595 14329 85087 55325 43127 29762 432892 579686 14707 1419 14707 1419 X 293105 486636 125080 91631 418185 578267 432892 579686 160025 57 0 X 0 0 0 X 87226 303876 385264 434642 324043 1535051 39811 2478 1175 100 51 43615 127037 306354 386439 434742 324094 1578666 0 0 0 1578666 127037 306354 386439 434742 324094 1578666 1.00000 1.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1 1 0 1 638 0 1 8500 1 330 1 166 0 9634 0 85087 55325 29762 29762 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b The 990 is circulated in draft form to the board of directors for review via email.
