Form 990, Part I, Line 1, Description of Organization Mission:OAEC cultivates ecological literacy and builds the capacity of civic and social movement leaders and organizations to guide their own communities to an ecologically regenerative, economically viable, and socially just future.

To realize our mission, we invest in projects and partnerships that address the root causes of the ecological, economic, and social crises of our time.
Form 990, Part III, Line 1, Description of Organization Mission:OAEC cultivates ecological literacy and builds the capacity of civic and social movement leaders and organizations to guide their own communities to an ecologically regenerative, economically viable, and socially just future.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4a, Description of Program Service:OAEC's 2020 program accomplishments are mostly expressed through our many inter-related programs, projects and partnerships. A representative sample of this program work includes: 1. The Resilient Community Design / Permaculture Program, 2. The WATER Institute and Beaver Restoration Project, 3. The Mother Garden Biodiversity Program, 4. The Wildlands Program, 5. The Movement Building Retreat Program, 6. The EcoSanitation Compost Toilet Research Project, 7. The Performance Arts Program, 8. OAEC's partnership with dozens of racial, social, economic, environmental justice organizations and alliances on education, training, advocacy and alliance building campaigns, and 9. OAEC's Fiscally Sponsored Projects Program Each of our programs, projects and partnerships use the same methods and strategies to achieve our public benefit mission, including: 1. We Model Resiliency - OAEC is a resiliency demonstration site, modeling dozens of practical personal and community-scale solutions to common challenges in the sustainable management of soil, water, food production, the restoration and preservation of biological and cultural diversity, and more effective ways to self-govern and manage economy. OAEC's programs benefit from our more than twenty five years of experience in developing and caring for our own 80-acre site, as well as supporting hundreds of other land-based projects and organizations. 2. We Train Changemakers - The transition to a just and environmentally sustainable economy will only be achieved if more individuals become ecologically literate "changemakers." OAEC continues to develop workshops and advocacy campaigns that help train, support and inspire individuals and social movement leaders to apply an ecological lens to their existing social change work. 3. We Help Build the Capacity of Communities to Transform Toward Resilience - OAEC strives to achieve a "social change multiplier effect" by training and building the capacity of whole communities to become more effective agents of rapid change. We work to foster ecological literacy and to empower diverse communities - schools, local governments, public agencies, foundations, environmental and social justice organizations, farms and ranches, and policy coalitions - to design their own place-based strategies to create the just transition towards a more regenerative culture and economy. 4. We Work to Change the Rules of Governance and Economy - We work to legalize and require sustainable economy, and to make illegal and dis-incentivize activities that subvert it. Sometimes on our own, but most often through broader advocacy alliances, we seek to change policy in the arenas of governance in which we are most likely to succeed - a city or county council, school board, water agency, or state legislature or agency - on issues that are ripe for change and move us toward a just and sustainable future.
