CFI encourages bioregional endeavors to re-establish balance within ecological systems by way of environmental education, forest reciprocity and resilient community development During 2024 the Forest Reciprocity Group (FRG) developed a nonprofit business plan to build a FRG Pole Aggregation Depot (FRG PAD) to educate about processing small diameter Douglas fir poles taken from forest restoration projects. FRG is a replicable organizational model advocating for firesafe landscapes and firesafe buildings through reducing forest fire-fuel loads and utilizing the materials from those efforts to build low-carbon embodied buildings. FRG aims to collaborate with forest health crews to restore forests to fire resilient ecosystems, thin small diameter trees to reduce catastrophic fire fuel loads, increase long-range carbon sequestration, and utilize and sell small poles and small-pole milled lumber from forest restoration to build fire-safe housing. The populations who benefit are tribal, rural and low income in need of locally sourced material to build fire-resilient homes. A sub-population within these communities who will benefit from our work are the underemployed of all ages, because the key economic development component FRG seeks to provide is training in marketable skills and viable careers in the areas of fire fuels management, materials transportation and processing, design and architecture, carpentry, and construction. Perhaps the greatest benefit will be to the global community by addressing two significant contributors of greenhouse gas. Our core goal is to collaborate with communities to educate about tending forests for health and fire resilience including restoration of waterways and protection of human settlements. In reciprocity, communities are provided with an abundance of superior materials to build fire-resistant homes and ecological housing developments thereby providing jobs and revitalizing local economies. 64966 60280 60280 Charles Payne Director 1 0 0 0 Jenny Burnstad Treasurer 10 6750 0 0 Govinda Dalton President 2 0 0 0 Eric Lassotovitch Director 5 9008 0 0 Brenda Quintero Director 1 0 0 0 Nathaniel Harnish Director 3 7748 0 0 Ray Chandra director 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CA Jenny Burnstad PO Box 73 Boonville CA 95415 7073805059 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 29314 44321 116955 39905 150750 381245 3862 5360 15929 3590 5053 33794 33176 49681 132884 43495 155803 415039 415039 0 0 0 0 0 0 33176 49681 132884 43495 155803 415039 1 1 0 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 Foresta Collective 17166 Pomo Youth Summer Arts Camp 12685 Holistic Animal Health and Advocacy 8426 School of Art Therapy and Activist Training 5288 Alliance for Democracy 5662 Hands on Clay Pottery Education 4400 Sea Star Kids Foundation 1420 Ometepe Sustainability Project 2150 Disquiet Media 1829 Terrain 1234 Mendocino Environmental Center 600 Fundacion Cambugan 220 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Accounting Services;415|Office expense;408|Nonprofit Insurance;743|Subscriptions;508|Website;400^Total;2474^
