FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 & 2	FOUNDED IN 1987, THE RAINFOREST ALLIANCE'S MISSION IS TO CONSERVE BIODIVERSITY AND ENSURE SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOODS THROUGH TRANSFORMING LAND-USE PRACTICES, BUSINESS PRACTICES, AND CONSUMER BEHAVIOR. WE ENVISION A WORLD WHERE PEOPLE CAN THRIVE AND PROSPER IN HARMONY WITH THE LAND. THE CORE OF OUR APPROACH LIES IN LEVERAGING MARKET DEMAND FOR SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS TO CONSERVE BIODIVERSITY AND ENHANCE LOCAL LIVELIHOODS. FROM LARGE MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS TO SMALL, COMMUNITY-BASED COOPERATIVES, WE INVOLVE PRODUCERS, BUSINESSES AND CONSUMERS ALL ALONG THE VALUE CHAIN IN EFFORTS TO BRING RESPONSIBLY PRODUCED GOODS AND SERVICES TO A GLOBAL MARKETPLACE WHERE DEMAND FOR SUSTAINABILITY IS GROWING STEADILY. SINCE OUR FIRST EFFORTS IN CENTRAL AMERICA NEARLY 30 YEARS AGO, WE HAVE GROWN INTO A GLOBAL INNOVATOR OF MARKET-BASED SOLUTIONS FOR CONSERVATION AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, NOW WORKING IN MORE THAN 80 COUNTRIES. THE RAINFOREST ALLIANCE WORKS IN MULTIPLE SECTORS - INCLUDING FORESTRY, AGRICULTURE, TOURISM AND CARBON/CLIMATE - PROVIDING TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND CERTIFICATION SERVICES TO PRODUCERS, WHILE WORKING WITH BOTH LOCAL ENTERPRISES AND DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL BUYERS TO INCREASE THE COMPETITIVENESS OF SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS. INITIATIVES: Climate, Nature and Communities in Guatemala (CNCG) The Rainforest Alliance concluded a highly successful second year of this cross-programmatic project, which builds on many years of work on the ground in Guatemala. With funding from USAID and in collaboration with other organizations, CNCG provided technical assistance to several small and medium-sized enterprises and NGO's working in collaboration to halt Guatemala's deforestation crisis. Guatemala's Forest Emissions Reduction Program proposal was selected by the World Bank's Carbon Fund to receive a US $600,000 grant to design a full strategy. Rainforest Alliance and CNCG partner, Universidad Del Valle, promoted and facilitated support to the Government of Guatemala to develop this proposal, which was approved in October. The project team also helped generate 10,061 permanent and temporary employment positions during the quarter, which made it possible to surpass our annual target of 17,000 by 179%; also supported the Guatecarbon forest-carbon project as it prepared for project validation. Claims, Traceability & Trademarks The Rainforest Alliance CTT team launched the Online Cocoa Traceability System. Evaluation & Research The Evaluation & Research team provided significant input on areas such as living wage, ecosystem conservation, farm and group management, pesticides, cattle, and more for the new SAN standard. The SAN Audit Planning Form was finalized and has been fully rolled out to all Certification Bodies. The SAN/RA audit report analysis to evaluate patterns of practice adoption in key crop geographies will be used in scientific publications, increasing the evidence on the effects of SAN/RA certification. Communications In fiscal year 2015, the Rainforest Alliance communications team expanded its one-week Follow the Frog marketing campaign into a 10-month content partnership with the Guardian--one of the world's most prestigious news organizations. Every week for 10 months, the Rainforest Allliance Guardian Partner Zone published new and original content aimed at expanding our audience beyond traditional "deep green" advocates to a wider range of "aspirationals." Key metrics showed tens of millions of impressions, a significant boost to the Rainforest Alliance's reputation in the conservation space, and new visitors to our website.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A-D	PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS 4(a) RA-Cert RA-Cert was awarded a BioREDD+ auditing contract for VCS and CCB validation of eight carbon projects within the USAID flagship program BioREDD+ Colombia. RA-Cert also secured three key palm projects. It also continued to grow its forestry portfolio in the tropics. In May of 2015, we received funding from four companies (Domtar, Columbia Forest Products, Avery Dennison and Staples) for a forestry project in the Southeastern United States. 4(b) Sustainable Agriculture The Sustainable Agriculture Program is the leading model for effective implementation of social and environmental best management practices. Our goal is to promote sustainable agriculture worldwide through our internationally credible, proactive and responsive certification system that remains accessible to large agribusinesses and small farmers alike. Highlights in FY15 include: -Our proposal to MCA-I (Millennium Challenge Account-Indonesia) was approved to develop high yielding, climate-smart cocoa farms. -We have significantly improved coordination with the World Cocoa Foundation (WCF) and its sustainability initiative - the CocoaAction. This was crowned with first ever discussion of biodiversity and climate smart cocoa at a WCF event and it became the talk of the annual meeting of WCF. -We secured a renewed investment from Unilever covering global tea programs in India, Indonesia, China, Turkey, and South Africa. -Our Arcus foundation-supported project in western Cote d'Ivoire is the first successful attempt in the Rainforest Alliance cocoa program to combine an awareness raising program on Biodiversity (Chimpanzee) conservation together with a revenue diversification and alternative protein consumption solution. Over 1,200 people (men, women and children) have been reached as part of the sensitization program. 4(c) (TR)aining, (E)xtension, (E)nterprises and (S)ourcing (TREES) Sustainable Forestry The Rainforest Alliance's TREES sustainable forestry program focuses on (TR)aining, (E)xtension, (E)nterprises and (S)ourcing activities. We help communities and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) harvest and produce forest products in a sustainable way and sell their goods to conscientious consumers in the global marketplace. The Rainforest Alliance has pioneered sustainable forestry on a global scale, helping to make working forests sustainable and, by promoting responsible management, helping sustain and enhance the livelihoods derived from them. Highlights in FY15 include: -Two studies on the sustainability of the forestry concessions in the Maya Biosphere Reserve (one of regeneration and the other on deforestation dynamics) completed this quarter verify the sustainability of certified community forestry. -With AfDB/CBFF in Cameroon, a joint collaboration has taken place amongst communities to jointly sell non-timber forest product Ndo'o (a nut) which will provide an essential source of revenue for families. -We have embarked on a blossoming strategic alliance with Intercontinental Hardwood in Mxico and Honduras. -Under the Avery Dennison project in Honduras, an ambitious and historic agreement was reached between UNICAF, cooperatives in the indigenous FINZMOS territory and an international buyer (Inter-Continental Hardwoods). This partnership is critical in addressing the increasing menace that illegal logging and timber traffic poses to sustainable community forests. 4d) OTHER PROGRAMS: a) Markets Transformation In the pursuit of global sustainable agriculture, we are committed to developing our program into the leading model for effective implementation of social and environmental best management practices. As we continue to maximize, document and share the conservation and community benefits of our standards, we have encouraged the increased demand for sustainable agriculture products. Highlights in FY15 include: -There is an emerging partnership with Mattel to source FSC-certified material from community partners in Petn (Guatemala) for Thomas the Train and/or American Girl lines. -We Started work with William Sonoma on forest product corporate supply chain technical support. -The new Rainforest Alliance Certified Dunkin' Dark Roast was launched. -Mars has confirmed their commitment to 100% full certification of their cocoa supply chain. -We have engaged with the World Cocoa Foundation, which has steered the Cocoa Action agenda. -Tesco committed to a certified banana supply. -UNIVEG Deutschland announced plans to sell 50% of the '1x1' brand of premium bananas from certified farms in Ecuador starting at the beginning of 2016. -the first certified beef product will be distributed in Europe with the seal. b) Climate Program The Rainforest Alliance climate team further established its reputation as a thought leader on climate change and land use through its collaboration on several key projects around the world. Highlights in FY 2015 include: -The USAID-funded Net Zero Deforestation Zones (NZDZ) project officially concluded this fiscal year, with all targets successfully met. By the close of the program, we planted 10 hectares in the Ecuadorian community of Wamani and the community aims to reforest 300 hectares and access 1.8 million USD in financing by 2018. An integrated management plan and subsequent participatory plan finalized under NZDZ will continue to strengthen natural resource management in indigenous communities in the region. -To build on accomplishments from FY14, the team finalized the external scan on climate change adaptation, completed an important factsheet and guidance document, and organized a workshop for experts for inputs to inform RA's adaptation strategies. -The climate team participated in the UN Climate Summit alongside several other public events this fiscal year. -In collaboration with RA-Cert, we were awarded a BioREDD+ auditing contract for the VCS and CCB Validation of eight carbon projects within the USAID flagship program BioREDD+ Colombia. -Under the Oaxaca Carbon Coffee Project (Banamex/Symantec), we have reached a final draft of the reforestation strategy. The project's cartographic data will be a major advancement for the project's spatial data monitoring. -our partner in Mexico, CONAFOR, has launched the country's national consultation process for REDD which will help to advance the long-term goal of establishing a national REDD+ strategy and system in Mexico. c) Sustainable Tourism The Rainforest Alliance's Sustainable Tourism Program is working to help tourism entrepreneurs conserve their environments and contribute to local livelihoods. The Rainforest Alliance is leading a global effort to help define, standardize and scale up sustainable tourism. Partnering with industry associations, nonprofits, and government agencies, we promote higher environmental and social standards for the tourism industry and government tourism policy. We have been working with small and medium-sized businesses, as well as indigenous and community groups in Latin America, to educate them on the opportunities that exist to incorporate on-site conservation measures into their operations, thereby minimizing their impact on local wildlife and landscapes. Highlights in FY15 include: -The Destination Management Tool developed by the Rainforest Alliance in collaboration with the Ecuadorian Ministry of Tourism was adopted by the government as a management tool for use across eight national reserves. -ACEPESA (Central America Association for Economy, Health and Environment) conducted a needs assessment involving more than 342 residents of the beneficiary areas and representatives from SINAC (National System of Protected Areas) and local municipalities. The assessment resulted in the topics that were covered in 20 successful workshops organized by RA.
