Mission and programs · 2024

• We helped fund five eco-cultural resilience programs by our Malaysian partner Forever Sabah Berhad (FS, foreversabah.org) that continue a transition towards a diversified, equitable, circular economy. First, we funded their Forever Sabah: Into a Relational Future program focusing on a broad range of robust and diversified micro-economic growth strategies moving forward. Secondly, in order of funding, we granted specifically to FSs Human Elephant Harmony that continues to grow positive relationships between humans and their wild elephant neighbors. Third, we target funded FSs palm oil transition to diversified agroforestry to meet 2025 government certification goals. Fourth, we supported Oregon State University student on-site education using Forever Sabah Institutes iterative success training models. Fifth, we gave legs to a new Methane Awareness effort in Malaysia with additional funding. Finally, our own program salary and Zoom contributions capped our expenses

  Expenses $351,622

• We funded three of our Malaysian partner LEAP Spirals (LS, leapspiral.org) ongoing programs. Most funding supported LSs Forests and Ape community integration work in thew Lower Kinabatangan & Segama Wetlands. Second was our continuing support for Carbon Sovereign Sabah (leapspiral.org/carbon-soverign-sabah) which helps indigenous communities manage forest resources, educate youth, and spur local business. Third was continued support for LSs Pangolin Rescue Rehabilitation & Release (P3R, leapspiral.org/sundapangolins) program. These grants, together with our program costs helped keep pangolin protection in the news, and engaged wide ranging demographics around forest biodiversity, cultueral participation, and economic growth opportunities.

  Expenses $171,342 · Grants $153,406

• We again supported another ongoing Bornean project called KampOng Campus, a non-profit eco-literacy and leadership training facility we helped start. This support was mostly managerial time, though we paid for several visiting speaker honorariums for KampOngs leadership training sessions. We also networked at a Methane Conference and covered yearly business fees for the Malaysian LEAP Conservancy. We also continued to directly micro-fund an early project of ours, the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre (bsbcc.org.my)even though it remains financially and managerially self-sufficient, is popular with locals, and is an accessible tourist highlight of Borneo.

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.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

• Soil and Shadow LLC CA entity #201603310399

  $60,000

  2023 · This was a podcast development grant intended to help USA parents and youth begin to prepare for living into our inevitable collective future. Much of USA culture teaches living in the present, which implies both 1. not learning the lessons of history, and 2. not steering your own life towards an intentional future. This "future how" question is something that Land Empowerment Animals People Inc has been steering towards for several years, so this USA effort matched well with our mission and present focus.
