The first phase of the Integrated Crop and Livestock Systems soil health and carbon sequestration research in partnership with the University of California, Davis was completed. We worked with our partners at the Carbon Cycle Institute to support an assessment of how Carbon Farm Plans completed to date in California provide both a roadmap for and verification of, our state's ability to meet the French Ministry of Agriculture's '4 per 1000' goal for soil carbon improvement to address the threat of global climate change. Fibershed co-created a complete Carbon Farm Plan (CFP) with each of the six cohort members, encompassing a detailed list of goals for each farm, GIS maps and data about each location, current and past management practices, USGS Web Soils Survey data, a discussion of current and planned carbon farm practices with analysis from COMET- Planner, and an appendix with resources. We developed technical and financial models for the California Wool Mill and updated with new visions for processes, machinery, the scale of production, and products. In addition, we co-launched and published a 32-page Synthetic Biology Commodity Brief with the ETC Group. 0 0 0 642006 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 38 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 5 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 CA X Ryan Marenger 8318189522 PO Box 221 San Geronimo CA 94963 Rebecca Burgess Executive Director & Board President 40 0 X X 75996 0 0 Dustin Kahn Secretary 10 0 X X 13330 0 0 Marlie de Swart Treasurer 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Kat Anderson Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Nick Tipon Board Member 0 0 X 0 0 0 89326 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7020 0 0 0 858622 0 865642 9216 9216 0 0 9216 0 0 0 0 0 2975 0 2975 2975 0 0 0 877833 12191 0 0 X 40000 40000 19944 19944 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 242567 201564 37855 3148 2845 0 2845 0 9000 0 9000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 152584 148810 1630 2144 372 268 104 0 8836 6333 1743 760 9232 8115 1061 56 0 0 0 0 12801 10751 1865 185 16701 16579 100 22 0 0 0 0 3377 3222 155 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1159 968 174 17 Bank & CC Fees 716 318 37 361 Dues License & Subscriptions 1563 580 978 5 Project & Event Expense 44074 43569 468 37 Program Subcontract 140985 140985 0 0 706756 642006 58015 6735 346551 515892 0 0 0 0 0 300 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 346551 516192 10037 8601 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10037 8601 X 336514 507591 0 0 0 0 336514 507591 346551 516192 171077 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 170711 415797 457819 604429 865642 2514398 15389 37938 21595 62604 12191 149717 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 186100 453735 479414 667033 877833 2664115 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2664115 50 1 0 0 0 51 0 0 0 0 0 0 50 1 0 0 0 51 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 186150 453736 479414 667033 877833 2664166 0.99998 0.99997 0.00002 0.00003 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1 UC Regents 202 Cousteau Pl Ste 185 Davis CA 95618 946036494 501c3 40000 0 N/A N/A Fiber systems & sustainability 1 0 Personal Grant 7 19944 0 N/A 2018 7 recipients were awarded small grants to aid in the furthering of Fibershed's mission; all were under $5,000; they totaled $19,944 Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Grantees are awarded funds to aid in the work they are performing as related to the mission of Fibershed.
