Approximately 20% are teaching gardens at schools which we use CNGF volunteer labor to help build. The remaining 80% are private homes, churches or small businesses. Clients served: The schools we have built gardens for have approximately 750 students. Our private clients are approximately 45 people per year, churches are 250 people per year, and or businesses are 15 people per year. 32340 34800 Educare/First 5: We were contracted with Educare for school garden management and teaching a beta form of our pre-K teaching certificate, Playing with Intent: "Nature immersion + Food" in the Certified Outdoor Classroom to their 12 pre-K classes of approximately 25 students and 2 teachers/class at Educare twice monthly and once monthly at First Five teaching garden to approximately 12 pre-K children, 3 teachers, and 12 parents. We electronically shared each developed lesson with our teachers and staff at Educare and First 5 each time we taught that lesson. Our goal is to begin with preK and their families and teachers and eventually teach all students and teachers how to convert school yards to Eat Grow and Learn Eco-Centers so children become eco-literate and know how to grow local sustainable food while learning STEAM education outdoors and reducing their individual carbon footprint. We believe this is the transformative school yard of the 21st Century. 6855 10477 Nature Camp: Our summer camp is held at our Sustainable Sites.org internationally certified ELSEE (Environmental Lab for Sustainability and Ecological Education) teaching gardens. We are the only certified teaching garden recognized in Santa Clara County, with 200 bench marks that protect ecosystems services in our urban environment. We taught between 50 students for seven weeks. Camp begins at 9am and ends at 3pm. We also offer early drop and late pick up options for working families. Besides at ELSEE, the classes are also taught at Hester Farms, a nearby teaching, training and research farm largely managed by volunteers and overseen by professional staff. The teachers are college students majoring in Early Childhood Education, Environmental Science, Biology, or the Arts. The program is managed by a professional pre-K and a specialist in 6-12-year-old outdoor learning. Over the years, CNGF has developed up to 100 lesson plans in outdoor STEAM education, specifically designed to be taught in a SITES-certified outdoor classroom. Once a week, the campers take field trips led by a naturalist who studied with Native American tribes and takes campers and families to city and county parks with natural plant communities and riparian 1298 4754 299984 true false false false false false false 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 false false false false false false false false true 20 0 false 0 false false false false false true false false false false X 7 6 false false false false false false false true true false false false true false false false false false false false CA X Alrie Middlebrook 4085640724 76 Race St San Jose CA 95126 Steven Sanders Treasurer 2.50 X 0 0 0 Sanhita Datta Director 2.50 X 0 0 0 Allegra Watson Director 2.50 X 0 0 0 Arike van de Water Director 2.50 X 0 0 0 Harvey Darnell Director 2.50 X 0 0 0 Melissa Blum Secretary 2.50 X 0 0 0 Nancy Hirstein Smith President of the Board 2.50 X 0 0 0 Alrie M Middlebrook Executive Director 40.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 2682 32407 0 35089 Plant Sales/Farmers Market 900099 4754 4754 Nature Camp 900099 10477 10477 Design/Build/Manage 900099 415057 415057 Educare 900099 34800 34800 465088 500177 465088 0 0 145657 105299 37258 3100 30311 22620 7350 341 84133 62278 16542 5313 3237 0 2820 417 1026 1026 0 5958 5958 0 0 70245 70245 17877 17877 Misc 22779 22779 Nursery Operations 8878 8878 Expenses for Design/Build including materials, auto 109787 109787 499888 299984 181855 18049 3598 14492 22495 8660 5800 5050 11000 11000 10950 42893 39152 544 1485 14090 11592 14634 13077 X 3598 16492 0 0 24661 9583 28259 26075 42893 39152 289 X false false false X 0 0 0 0 38403 27444 24951 13220 32407 136425 27343 36888 70929 279175 467770 882105 65746 64332 95880 292395 500177 1018530 0 0 0 1018530 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 65746 64332 95880 292395 500177 1018530 1.00000 1.00000 0.00000 0.00000 X 5692 11592 Part IX, Line 11g Design/Build/Manage: $62,278 Fundraising: $5,313 Administrative $13000 misc programs 3,541 Part VI, Line 19 CNGF made its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public only upon request during the tax year.
