Our new online education platform, Wayfinder Society, reached over 700 teachers and students this year. We also saw major success with the WFS scholarship opportunity we opened up for middle school, high school, and college students. By the July 14th deadline, we had received 52 applications from 15 countries! Awardees included students from the US, Canada, Australia, and South Africa. A few of the projects include a virtual youth summit, efforts to reverse an AZ statewide preemption law, launch of a new community composting non-profit, creation of a campus beverage contract investigations guide, and the launch of a community food sharing program for locally grown produce. In 2021, our education team distributed over 150 free teaching kits to public school teachers across the United States. 1,826 kits have been distributed to date! This year, Algalitas' 12-week college-level course went virtual yet still covered everything from analyzing the solution set and local implications to zero waste culture and our waste management systems. 16158 RESEARCH In partnership with our new sister organization, Moore Institute for Plastic Pollution Research, our researchers continued to analyze samples collected from Algalitas study area in the North Pacific Gyre. Results from the study will be used in the worlds first scientific publication focused on long-term plastic pollution monitoring efforts in the NPG. This year, Algalita also supported MIPPR in their efforts to become the first nonprofit organization authorized to test for microplastics in drinking water. 12926 PREVENTIONEarlier this year, we joined in the relaunch of the first-ever national plastic pollution legislation, The Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act. Our zero waste refill store, built in partnership with BYO Long Beach, reopened after being shut down because of the pandemic. 2021 also saw the return of our LB Waterbike cleanup program and other cleanup community events. 323151 true true false false false false false false false false 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 10 0 true 3 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 7 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 76195 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 Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JEFF CARRICK Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARIETA FRANCIS President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 76195 0 false false false 0 356175 356175 PREVENTION AND OUTREACH 541900 8961 8961 8961 61234 61234 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 OTHER INCOME 900099 83 83 83 426453 70278 0 0 0 0 76195 68017 2946 5232 0 130521 116513 5046 8962 0 0 17335 13288 1898 2149 0 0 7540 7540 0 0 10413 10413 10358 10358 15 15 0 0 0 43816 43816 21 21 0 460 222 238 0 0 481 481 7048 3500 3548 PROGRAM 55379 54716 663 Printing and Publications 5068 5068 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 4768 3255 433 1080 OTHER 4525 90 4194 241 17073 14630 1485 958 391016 323151 49243 18622 96209 69159 5325 5325 18050 0 0 0 0 0 3500 43868 42439 1910 1429 0 0 0 0 417920 461062 521364 558525 2485 3473 5007 5743 7492 9216 X 232614 252662 281258 296647 513872 549309 521364 558525 35437 X true X false true false X 429467 420022 453087 515033 356175 2173784 9471 32679 53070 12850 8961 117031 0 0 0 438938 452701 506157 527883 365136 2290815 0 0 2290815 28035 -11338 37404 59231 61234 174566 0 28035 -11338 37404 59231 61234 174566 0 3789 3631 2736 1365 83 11604 470762 444994 546297 588479 426453 2476985 0.92480 0.94280 0.07050 0.05000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1475 621 854 42393 41818 575 1429 BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN QUASI ENDOWMENT 459619 DEPOSIT 1443 461062 Other liabilities 5241 SALES TAX PAYABLE 502 5743 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process FORM 990 IS REVIEWED BY THE ED AND A COPY IS GIVEN TO ALL BOARD MEMBERS FOR THEIR REVIEW PRIOR TO BEING FILED.
