Originally established as the Sacramento Society for the Prevention and Cure of Tuberculosis, the organization has evolved to address the pressing respiratory challenges of each era. SacBreathe continues to champion a future with tobacco-free youth, accessible electric vehicles, and pedestrian-friendly communities. Through education, policy, advocacy and community engagement, we strive to ensure that everyone in the Sacramento Region can breathe clean, healthy air.SacBreathe runs community health events in Sacramento, Yolo, El Dorado and more. Byeducating our communities on how to make the air cleaner, by using nontoxic cleaningproducts, separating food waste from trash, driving electric cars, walking or bikinginstead of driving, saying no to tobacco and more. Every year, SacBreathe holds a contest asking students in middle and high school to make an original Public Service Announcement (PSA) to support community and peer-to-peer education. Topics include Harms and Impacts of Commercial Tobacco, Air Quality Education and Information, and Food Scraps Recycling and Recovery. The Youth Advisory Board (YAB) is open to anyone 14-19 years old living in the Sacramento region who are interested in joining SacBreathes efforts in education, policy, advocacy, and research. Our Community CarShare (OCCS) makes electric vehicles available at a discounted rate to disadvantaged and low-income communities in the City of Sacramento to help raise awareness and educate the public on the benefits of electric vehicles, to strengthen local economies by providing a zero-emission transportation option and to reduce emissions from traditional internal combustion vehicles in the Sacramento Region. The Food Scraps and Recycling program empowers schools and communities to reduce food waste, promote sustainability, and foster environmental stewardship. Sacramento Neighborhoods activating on Air Quality (SNAAQ 3.0) was created under the Assembly Bill 617. The program's focus is to reduce carbon emissions and improve public health in the most polluted communities. UC Davis Health Neighbor Clean Air Program distributes portable air purifiers to approximately 300 homes near a large construction project at the UC Davis Medical Center-Sacramento Campus. SacBreathe distributed 215 HEPA air purifiers and 430 replacement filters. Clean Mobility in Schools (CMIS) Project supports emission reduction strategies at Twin Rivers Unified School District, showcasing zero-emission mobility solutions for schools statewide. SacBreathe developed an elementary-appropriate presentation and activity book to engage students on air quality and the CMIS project, and delivered in-class presentations across multiple classrooms, concluding each session with a hands-on seed-planting activity. Mobility Zones Project (MZP) focused on holding workshops in each county in the Sacramento region to engage priority groups, especially those historically underrepresented in transportation planning. The goal was to collect resident input on transportation projects SACOG should consider funding and implementing within the Mobility Zones. Safe Routes to School (SRTS) involves conducting education and outreach at six schools in Sacramento County. The purpose of this project is to teach students how to walk and bike safely and to determine the safest routes for each location.Purchased by the organization in the 1980s the Breathe Building at 909 12th Street in downtown Sacramento has been a long-time cultivator of the organizations helping to shape the future of our communities. With our updated conference room acting as ameeting and gathering space, and the building's ability to host several communitygroups and nonprofit tenants there is lots bustling and bubbling behind these walls. 773789 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true 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 true 8 0 true 18 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 16 16 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X Jennifer Finton 9164445900 909 12th Street 200 Sacramento CA 95814 X Jennifer Finton Executive Director 40.00 0.00 106891 0 6859 Jazmine Alop Advincula Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Torin Dunnavant Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Flores Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sophie Froelich Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Julia Garcia Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Samantha Hoshida Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Grace Kaufman Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mia Lopez Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mellissa Meng Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dean O'Brien Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ralph Propper Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Arif Seyal MD Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sue Teranishi Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Suzanne Teuber MD Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Orville Thomas President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Emel Wadhwani Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 106891 6859 1 false false false 0 40031 620935 145316 1220 806282 Consulting fees 541900 53831 53831 Other 900099 643 643 54474 1310 1310 0 0 156400 123221 33179 33179 33179 0 3321 40031 12980 -9659 0 0 0 885586 54474 34489 0 0 0 0 113750 83750 20000 10000 0 569059 444659 82400 42000 0 66899 51899 10000 5000 57475 45275 8200 4000 3360 3360 0 38655 38655 0 0 0 27395 24895 2500 206 206 28226 24026 2800 1400 0 0 0 9485 9485 0 0 28 28 0 8543 4043 3000 1500 5679 4929 500 250 Program supplies 47494 47494 Maintenance and repairs 12073 10273 1200 600 Printing and Publications 11658 10158 1000 500 Utilities 9290 7940 900 450 10611 4757 5604 250 1019886 773789 180147 65950 2615 4816 554373 224219 0 315717 180029 0 0 0 0 21690 2846 767775 421392 360603 346383 475936 911922 0 0 11200 8400 369542 386316 2111676 2064931 103447 68999 1154 8834 9795 113435 78794 X 1728700 1716596 269541 269541 1998241 1986137 2111676 2064931 -134300 122196 X false false false X 1393988 1458718 1543655 1656998 806282 6859641 0 0 1393988 1458718 1543655 1656998 806282 6859641 0 6859641 14179 9944 29389 14259 1310 69081 0 12555 34550 30233 -25854 23520 75004 7003726 0.97940 0.96870 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 67075 67075 174207 174207 436604 210782 225822 89889 36403 53486 346383 Beneficial interest in trust 286316 386316 Security deposits 9795 9795 false Special Events 43352 40031 3321 3695 2206 2000 5079 43352 40031 3321 3695 2206 2000 5079 12980 -9659 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b A PDF copy of Form 990 is provided to the Board of Directors for review prior to its filing with the IRS.
