Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

The Partnership Project is organized and operated exclusively to enhance protection of the natural environment by improving the effectiveness of environmental organizations. It currently has 17 groups participating, including the largest environmental advocacy groups in the country.

Enhance protection of the natural environment.

  • General Accomplishments - the Partnership Project (Partnership) supports the environmental community with its work to educate the public and the press regarding the most critical environmental issues of our time including climate change, environmental injustice and vehicle and industrial emissions, among others. The Partnership Project furthers the cause of environmental protection by promoting collaboration and collective learning among dozens of organizations representing a diverse population of advocates for the environment.

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.
