AT THE SAME TIME, THE NPRA IS INCREASINGLY THE FOCUS OF OIL AND GAS COMPANIES WHO SEEK TO EXTRACT BILLIONS OF BARRELS OF OIL IN THE DECADES TO COME. TO HELP PROTECT OUR CLIMATE, WILD PLACES, AND SUSTAINABLE HUMAN USES OF THE NPRA, WE ARE PUSHING THE ADMINISTRATION TO SHIFT THE MANAGEMENT DIRECTION OF THIS LANDSCAPE IN FAVOR OF CONSERVATION AND CLIMATE SMART POLICY. ON TOP OF DEPLOYING OUR NETWORKS OF SUPPORTERS, WE ARE ALSO HELPING TO CREATE AND LEAD ELEVATION STRATEGIES THAT INCREASE PUBLIC AWARENESS ABOUT THIS RELATIVELY UNKNOWN AREA OF ALASKA'S ARCTIC, WHILE OPPOSING OIL AND GAS PROJECTS THAT WOULD LOCK THE REGION INTO OIL PRODUCTION THROUGH THE 2050S AND BEYOND. 729265 32633 REFUGE - THE ARCTIC NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE HAS BEEN A PRIMARY FOCUS OF AWL SINCE OUR FOUNDING. EVER SINCE CONGRESS VOTED TO OPEN THE ARCTIC REFUGE COASTAL PLAIN UP FOR OIL AND GAS EXTRACTION IN 2017, OUR PRIMARY GOAL HAS BEEN RESTORING PROTECTIONS WHILE STOPPING & LIMITING DAMAGE FROM ANY AND ALL INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT. TO SECURE THIS GOAL, WE WORK WITH MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND THE ADMINISTRATION ALIKE TO SECURE A WILDERNESS DESIGNATION AND MINIMIZE IMPACTS FROM THE 2017 TAX ACT, ALONG WITH OTHER POLICIES THAT PROTECT REFUGE LANDS FOR LONG TERM SUSTAINABLE USES. OUR WORK ALSO INCLUDES EDUCATING AND MOBILIZING AMERICANS - INCLUDING ALASKANS - IN OUR 100,000+ MEMBER AND SUPPORTER NETWORK, WHILE WE ALSO LEAD LIKEMINDED ORGANIZATIONS AND ENTITIES WHO ARE ALSO SEEKING LONG TERM PROTECTIONS FOR THIS ICONIC LANDSCAPE. 531803 ARCTIC REFUGE DEFENSE CAMPAIGN - ALASKA WILDERNESS LEAGUE HOUSES THE CENTRAL STAFF AND SERVES AS THE FISCAL SPONSOR FOR THIS COLLABORATIVE CAMPAIGN EFFORT INVOLVING NATIONAL AND STATE-BASED CONSERVATION GROUPS AS WELL AS INDIGENOUS ORGANIZATIONS BASED IN ALASKA. FORMERLY THE ARCTIC REFUGE DEFENSE CAMPAIGN, THIS RECENTLY EXPANDED COLLABORATIVE EFFORT IS NOW AIMED AT PROTECTING BOTH THE NATIONAL PETROLEUM RESERVE-ALASKA AND THE ARCTIC NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE FROM OIL EXTRACTION THREATS. 278160 2492 TONGASS. IN SOUTHEAST ALASKA, THE TONGASS NATIONAL FOREST HAS ALREADY TRANSITIONED TO A POST-CLEAR CUT LOGGING ECONOMY, BUT FOR THE PAST DECADE POLICIES OF THE GOVERNMENT HAVE LAGGED BEHIND. AWL WORKED HARD TO SECURE, AND ARE HEARTENED, BY PRESIDENT BIDEN'S "SOUTHEAST ALASKA SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY" ANNOUNCED DURING 2021, AND TODAY AWL IS WORKING TO SECURE FULL IMPLEMENTATION OF IT. AT THE SAME TIME, AWL WORKS CLOSELY WITH PARTNERS - BOTH NATIONALLY AND IN-ALASKA - TO PUSH BACK AGAINST ANY LEGISLATION THAT WOULD PRIVATIZE CURRENTLY PUBLIC LANDS IN THIS FOREST.30X30. TODAY, IT'S A GLOBAL IMPERATIVE TO SECURE AT LEAST 30% OF LANDS AND WATERS FROM DESTRUCTION BY 2030, AND THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION HAS STATED AN INTENTION TO MAKE THIS A REALITY IN THE UNITED STATES. AS THE LEAGUE HAS BOTH NATIONAL AND IN-ALASKA PARTNERS, AWL WORKS TO HIGHLIGHT CRITICAL OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE ALASKA-CENTRIC TO HELP ACHIEVE THIS POLICY GOAL, WITH AN EYE TOWARDS SECURING CONSERVATION WINS FOR THE CAMPAIGNS LISTED ABOVE, ALONG WITH OTHER PRO-PUBLIC LAND POLICIES AND DECISIONS ACROSS THE STATE.RAPID DEFENSE. DEFENDING ALASKA'S PUBLIC LANDS REQUIRES CONSTANT ATTENTION. SOME THREATS - LIKE DRILLING THE ARCTIC REFUGE - ARE HIGH PROFILE, AND GARNER PUBLIC SCRUTINY THAT AWL WILL HELP TO SUPPORT THROUGH OUR LONG RUNNING ADVOCACY EFFORTS DESCRIBED ABOVE. HOWEVER, OTHER THREATS TO THE INTEGRITY OF ALASKA'S PUBLIC LANDS AREN'T AS OBVIOUS, THROUGH THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS OR VIA ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION. WITH AWL'S POLICY EXPERTISE AND OFFICE IN ALASKA, AWL IS WELL EQUIPPED TO ANALYZE PUBLIC LAND THREATS STATEWIDE, WHILE AWL SIMULTANEOUSLY WORKS TO INFLUENCE FEDERAL DECISIONS IN WASHINGTON DC. 278160 2492 2426477 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 24 0 1 19 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 17 17 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AK AR CA CO CT FL GA HI IL KS KY ME MD MA MI MN MO MS NC ND NH NJ NM NV NY OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WV WI DC X MLADEN MATES 2025445205 122 C STREET NW NO 650 WASHINGTON DC 20001 PAT POURCHOT DIRECTOR 2.00 2.00 X 0 0 0 KIT DESLAURIERS PRESIDENT 10.00 2.00 X X 0 0 0 YVONNE BESVOLD TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 TONI ARMSTRONG DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 ELLEN FERGUSON DIRECTOR 2.00 2.00 X 0 0 0 STEVE BARKER DIRECTOR UNTIL 12/31/2023 2.00 X 0 0 0 BRIAN O'DONNELL DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DEBBIE MILLER SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 JODY JUNEBY POTTS-JOSEPH DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN STERLING VICE PRESIDENT 4.00 X X 0 0 0 CHAD BROWN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 GREG MOGA DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 AMY ROBERTS DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 GARETH MARTINS DIRECTOR FROM 7/25/24 2.00 X 0 0 0 LISA COLLINS DIRECTOR FROM 1/1/24 2.00 X 0 0 0 NIKKI BUFFA DIRECTOR FROM 1/1/24 2.00 X 0 0 0 LEONARD STEINBERG DIRECTOR FROM 1/1/24 2.00 X 0 0 0 TONYA GARNETT DIRECTOR FROM 1/1/24 2.00 X 0 0 0 KRISTEN MILLER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 37.70 2.30 X 174594 10652 23911 DESIREE SORENSON-GROVES DIRECTOR OF ARDC 40.00 0.00 X 113883 0 3677 MLADEN MATES SENIOR DIRECTOR OF FINANCE 34.60 5.40 X 115291 17993 10411 CHRISTOPHER KONISH SENIOR DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT 39.70 0.30 X 110541 835 3353 MONICA SCHERER SENIOR DIRECTOR OF CAMPAIGNS 32.00 8.00 X 80652 20163 13387 ANDREW MODEROW SENIOR DIRECTOR OF POLICY 27.00 13.00 X 73505 35392 5190 668466 85035 59929 4 0 1 0 TRILOGY INTERACTIVE LLC PO BOX 4177 MOUNTAIN VIEW CA 94040 CONSULTING AND PROMOTION 177149 ONE SOURCE PRODUCTION 718 N 2ND ST PHILADELPHIA PA 19123 PRINTING AND REPRODUCTION 147097 GENAE LAKO 434 HARVEST POINT DRIVE ERIE CO 80516 CONSULTING AND PROMOTION 141306 SKDK 1150 18TH STREET NW SUITE 800 WASHINGTON DC 20036 ADVERTISING 108350 4 1252530 5876675 145693 7129205 179533 179533 42128 0 42128 42128 42128 3589278 3589247 31 31 31 CREDITS & REWARDS 900099 3582 3582 3582 7354479 0 0 225274 X 28000 28000 21000 21000 314689 259494 3942 51253 1021900 777789 121071 123040 29491 22436 3556 3499 99680 82341 6055 11284 101255 78615 9625 13015 70550 70550 21521 21521 489860 378333 107294 4233 228084 215348 89 12647 58822 28648 10570 19604 175804 106790 9639 59375 208261 162127 19613 26521 67330 56203 8137 2990 221163 180279 36353 4531 422 328 40 54 7942 6166 755 1021 DIRECT MAIL 143368 13467 129901 LICENSES AND FEES 9810 1459 8351 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 9757 7988 174 1595 TRAINING AND DEVELOPMEN 9376 1125 7291 960 3338085 2426477 367184 544424 534291 346195 3 0 180000 4001374 2975 5823 16300 30142 27745 27745 422 0 4152141 4447348 1456270 1457097 6342402 10287979 147893 67802 1470740 1343700 1618633 1411502 X 4187604 8191598 536165 684879 4723769 8876477 6342402 10287979 X 4016394 135157 1157 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 5007608 4643258 3954274 3867494 7129205 24601839 5007608 4643258 3954274 3867494 7129205 24601839 9984976 14616863 119085 77938 67304 151762 221661 637750 2706 8837 5448 7685 3582 28258 25267847 0.57850 0.62260 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: CREDIT CARD REWARDS AND OTHER CREDITS RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 183 12936 13119 3303445 3316564 315828 78957 0 0 374721 317760 346000 315828 1354309 2031464 180607 72555 39676 13119 305957 93680 79440 86500 78957 338577 507866 8181 20000 26682 183 55046 27745 27745 0 0 SECURITY DEPOSIT 31103 DUE FROM AFFILIATE 206756 OPERATING LEASE RIGHT-OF-USE ASSET 1219238 1457097 TENANT SECURITY DEPOSITS 10740 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY 1332960 1343700 X PART X, LINE 2: THE LEAGUE COMPLIES WITH THE PROVISIONS OF FASB ASC TOPIC 740, ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES, WHICH ADDRESSES THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER TAX BENEFITS CLAIMED OR EXPECTED TO BE CLAIMED ON A TAX RETURN SHOULD BE RECORDED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
