Originally, this online platform was designed specifically for young people who wanted to take their environmental activism to the next level. Within a year, hundreds of students from over two dozen countries joined the program. Energized by the programs success, we worked to design a brand-new Wayfinder educator platform that empowers teachers to deploy the program in their classrooms. Supplemented with teaching kits, virtual training sessions, mini-grant awards, and opportunities to connect with other educators, this new program component will provide teacher support like never before. And best of all, these services will be offered free of charge thanks to supporters like you. This year, Algalitas programs reached over 13,000 students, 127 teachers, and 2,165 community members across the globe. 16579 RESEARCH Another ambitious endeavor of 2022 was taking the first step towards developing a brand-new Plastic Pollution Research and Education Center in Long Beach, CA. In partnership with our sister organization, Moore Institute for Plastic Pollution Research, we began to secure a beautiful location right next door to our refill shop. During 2023, our team will build a state-of-the-art microplastics lab, a teacher training center and classroom, a technology lab, and workspaces to support visiting scientists. Also in 2022, we continued to analyze the final gyre samples collected during Algalita's long-term monitoring efforts in the North Pacific. 13263 PREVENTIONOn a local level, our zero-waste refill shop in partnership with Bring Your Own Long Beach has been fully renovated with new fixtures and educational displays. BYO is on track to reach 80,000 product refills this year! Algalitas beach cleanups went back into action, and we were excited to host our first large community event since the pandemic. In addition, Algalita was proud to participate in the Long Beach Green Schools Campaign that garnered LBUSD Board support this year! 331578 true true false false false false false false false true true false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 8 0 true 2 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 7 6 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X X KATIE ALLEN 5625984889 148 NORTH MARINA DRIVE LONG BEACH CA 90803 KATIE ALLEN Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 73180 0 0 ASHLEY CONTRERAS Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RONALD E JAGNER Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 NIKHIL DAVE Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MALLORY BURDEN President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JEFF CARRICK Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARIETA FRANCIS Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 73180 0 false false false 0 396705 10000 396705 PREVENTION AND OUTREACH 541900 9615 9615 9615 -72111 -72111 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 OTHER INCOME 900099 471 471 471 334680 -62025 0 0 0 0 73180 65326 2829 5025 0 76844 68597 2971 5276 0 0 11664 8941 1277 1446 0 200 200 7100 7100 0 0 7906 7906 13075 13075 350 350 0 0 0 46199 46199 272 272 0 2400 1158 1242 0 0 735 735 7091 3521 3570 PROGRAM 78459 77520 939 RIGHT OF USE LEASE EXPENSE 39129 39129 Printing and Publications 5679 5679 TELEPHONE AND UTILITIES 4769 4769 15079 10117 2511 2451 390131 331578 44355 14198 69159 145207 5325 5327 18050 0 0 0 0 0 0 3500 0 60260 43174 1429 17086 0 0 0 0 461062 614439 558525 782059 3473 9633 5743 278568 9216 288201 X 252662 175263 296647 318595 549309 493858 558525 782059 -55451 X true X false true false X 420022 453087 515033 356175 396705 2141022 32679 53070 12850 8961 9615 117175 0 0 0 452701 506157 527883 365136 406320 2258197 0 0 2258197 -11338 37404 59231 61234 -87923 58608 0 -11338 37404 59231 61234 -87923 58608 0 3631 2736 1365 83 471 8286 444994 546297 588479 426453 318868 2325091 0.97120 0.92480 0.02520 0.07050 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 459619 -72379 7907 379333 416477 50000 60774 58490 9142 459619 364437 59231 7191 416477 197034 130000 41423 4020 364437 208373 -8935 2404 197034 false false false 17867 1356 16511 42393 41818 575 17086 BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN QUASI ENDOWMENT 379333 DEPOSIT 1443 RIGHT OF USE ASSET 233663 614439 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES 272792 Other liabilities 5194 SALES TAX PAYABLE 582 278568 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b FORM 990 IS REVIEWED BY THE ED AND A COPY IS GIVEN TO ALL BOARD MEMBERS FOR THEIR REVIEW PRIOR TO BEING FILED.
