  • DEFAULTVEG CREATUREKIND'S DEFAULTVEG PROGRAM PROVIDES A SIMPLE, AFFORDABLE, AND INCLUSIVE WAY TO HELP CHRISTIANS AND CHRISTIAN COMMUNITIES REDUCE THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT, CARE FOR THE WELFARE OF FARMED ANIMALS, SUPPORT SMALL FARMERS, AND DEMONSTRATE OUR STEWARDSHIP OF CREATION IN THE MEALS WE SHARE. -EVERY YEAR WE HOST A WEBINAR EXPLAINING THE TENETS OF OUR MAIN FOOD POLICY CAMPAIGN TO INCORPORATE PLANT-BASED FOODS WITHIN CHRISTIAN COMMUNITIES, DEFAULTVEG. IN 2021, THE DEFAULTVEG WEBINAR, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE BETTER FOOD FOUNDATION, WAS ATTENDED BY CREATUREKIND MEMBERS IN NORTH AMERICA, SOUTH AMERICA, AFRICA, AND EUROPE. WE ALSO CONTINUE TO EDUCATE CHRISTIANS ABOUT MAKING PLANT-BASED THE DEFAULT IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES THROUGH REGULAR SOCIAL MEDIA RECIPE CONTENT, BLOGS FOR SEASONAL EATING, AS WELL AS CONTENT THAT EXPLORES THE DEEPER STRATEGY OF THE CAMPAIGN WORK AND CONNECTS PLANT-BASED EATING AND ANIMAL LIBERATION WITH MORE ESTABLISHED CHRISTIAN JUSTICE FRAMEWORKS (I.E. DEFAULTVEG: DE-CENTERING WHITENESS AND WORKING FOR THE LIBERATION OF ALL).

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
