Mission and programs · 2024

• In 2024, Climate Direct Action Education Fund (CDA EF) focused on raising public awareness and supporting grassroots efforts to combat climate change. Key accomplishments include: 1. Public Education on Hanscom Airfield Expansion: CDA EF educated the public on the climate and environmental impacts of the proposed expansion of private jet services at Hanscom Airfield in Bedford, MA. This initiative aimed to highlight the significant carbon emissions from private jets and the urgency of addressing aviation's contribution to climate change. Through community outreach, informational campaigns, and collaboration with local environmental groups, we mobilized opposition to the expansion and provided critical information on its implications for the climate crisis. 2. Grassroots Fundraising Campaign: CDA EF led a grassroots fundraising effort to support our ongoing campaigns and initiatives. The campaign successfully raised $7,176.55, which was used to fund direct action initiatives, outreach materials, and local organizing efforts. This campaign helped build stronger connections with our community, engaging donors who share our commitment to climate action. 3. Support for Climate Action Groups: We supported a grassroots climate group, Extinction Rebellion Boston, by providing fiscal sponsorship, staff organizing support, art resources, and advice to help them navigate organizational challenges and fund their mission. This included support for educational programming and nonviolent protests aimed at educating the public about the harms to the public from new fossil fuel infrastructure and promoting sustainable alternatives. 4. Educational Materials: CDA EF produced and distributed educational materials, including fact sheets, posters, and social media content, designed to inform the public about the role of fossil fuels in the climate crisis. These materials were used in public events, protests, and social media campaigns, helping to broaden the conversation around climate change and social movements. 5. Strategic Planning and Capacity Building: Our organization also focused on strategic planning for future campaigns and capacity-building efforts to ensure long-term sustainability. We hosted internal strategy sessions for Extinction Rebellion Boston, trained new activists, and built partnerships with local and regional environmental groups to strengthen collective action on climate issues.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.
