Mission and programs · 2024

• NETWORKING, EDUCATION, AND LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS: IN 2024, WE HELD EDUCATIONAL AND CONVERSATIONAL WEBINARS AND BOOK CLUBS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR FOR OUR NETWORK OF WOMEN FUNDERS AND CATALYST COMMUNITY ON A VARIETY OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND PHILANTHROPIC ISSUES. WE HELD A 5-DAY IN-PERSON EVENT IN SNOQUALMIE, WA TO HEAR FROM LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERS AND ANOTHER IN-PERSON EVENT, HOSTING A 12-DAY EXCURSION TO ARGENTINA HIGHLIGHTING THE BEAUTY AND BIODIVERSITY IN PATAGONIA AZUL AND THE IBERA REGION, PROVIDING AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MULTI-YEAR PUBLIC/PRIVATE PHILANTHROPY CONSERVATION EFFORTS IN THE WORLD. ADDITIONALLY, WE OFFERED CLIMATE WORKSHOPS, MULTIPLE IN-OFFICE EVENTS, AND WEBINARS HIGHLIGHTING VARIOUS PHILANTHROPIC ISSUES. IN ALL THESE FORUMS, MEMBERS LEARNED FROM EACH OTHER AND EXPERTS ABOUT INTERRELATED CHALLENGES TO THE ENVIRONMENT, HUMAN HEALTH, ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, AND COMMUNITY WELL-BEING, AS WELL AS THE ROLE THAT WOMEN LEADERS AND PHILANTHROPISTS PLAY IN AMENDING PAST AND PRESENT HARM AND WORK TOWARDS BUILDING A MORE SUSTAINABLE AND LIVABLE FUTURE. BEYOND THEIR EDUCATION VALUE, THESE EVENTS PROVIDED MEMBERS A SENSE OF COMMUNITY.

• GRANTMAKING PROGRAMS: OUR SIGNATURE PROGRAM, THE CATALYST AWARD, CELEBRATES WOMEN OF COLOR WHO ARE BUILDING A HEALTHIER, SAFER, AND MORE JUST WORLD BY PROVIDING FINANCIAL, LEADERSHIP, AND NETWORKING SUPPORT. THE PROGRAM AIMS TO HELP ADDRESS RACIAL INEQUALITY IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL FUNDING SPACE. IN 2024, WE RECOGNIZED FIVE AWARDEES AND 14 FINALISTS WHO ARE WORKING FOR EQUITABLE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS, ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE AND RIGHTS, SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE, AND RESPONSIBLE SEAFOOD INITIATIVES, AMONG OTHER TOPICS. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING AN ANNUAL $15,000 STIPEND TO THE AWARDEES AND A $10,000 ORGANIZATIONAL (IF APPLICABLE) GRANT TO THEIR AFFILIATED ORGANIZATION, WE FOSTER THEIR SENSE OF COMMUNITY THROUGH A LISTSERV AND DISCUSSION GROUPS TO PROVIDE A COMMUNITY OF ADVICE AND SUPPORT. ADDITIONALLY, IF AWARDEES CHOOSE TO UTILIZE A PORTION OF THEIR GRANT TOWARDS LEADERSHIP SERVICES, WE OFFER TO HELP FACILITATE THROUGH ONE OF OUR VENDORS. IN 2024, RACHEL'S NETWORK HOSTED THE FIRST OF ITS KIND RETREAT FOR WOMEN OF COLOR LEADERS AT THE KRIPALU CENTER FOR YOGA & HEALTH IN STOCKBRIDGE, MA. CATALYST AWARDEES, FINALISTS, AND TWO STAFF MEMBERS WERE JOINED BY GRANTEES OF THE TIDES FOUNDATION'S WOMEN ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP (WE LEAD) FUND FOR A GATHERING FOCUSED ON CARE AND RESTORATION FOR WOMEN ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERS OF COLOR. OUR FUNDER MEMBERS WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE CATALYST AWARD ARE FUNDING MORE BIPOC-LED ORGANIZATIONS THAN THEY DID BEFORE PARTICIPATING.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. 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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
