CIBs Intertidal Biodiversity working group scoped an ambitious plan to secure a specimen of every species, develop a DNA barcode library, and complete other urgently-needed work. CIB helped see the $9.5M project included in the 2023 state budget and signed by Governor Newsom, to be managed by CoastalQuest. CIB made scores of grants to scientists at California Academy of Sciences, The Nat, CSU East Bay, UCB, UCD, UCR, UCSD, and many others are driving a hiring spree across California. This advances inclusion and equity in STEM careers by providing exciting and well-paid positions in field work, lab work, and other activities. Outcomes include FUNDIS vouchered more than 5,200 collections of macrofungi (mushrooms) from across California; most were DNA sequenced yielding vouchers of well over 1,000 species. Thousands of soil samples collected for environmental DNA sequencing by CALeDNA, for prioritizing field expeditions to secure specimens of all soil biodiversity, as well as beginning of a comprehensive map of California biodiversity. Hundreds of field collections made for Insecta Barcode, plus thousands of museum specimens sampled, toward goal of sequencing DNA of 1,000,000 insect specimens. Biorepositories and Orphan Collections grants to scores of nonprofits and universities are supporting teams to rescue collections, accession specimen backlogs, and upgrade collection infrastructure and reboot scientific collections for the 21st century. SAVING PLACES.Achieving 30 by 30: CIB supported coalition efforts to codify 30x30 goals into state practices, as well as secure stable and adequate funding for land conservation. These coalitions secured $1.6B, successfully defending those funds against proposed budget cuts. This funding is essential to support local groups in saving the next 6M acres by 2030. CIB served in leadership for the states California Biodiversity Network, working to build a network that is broadly inclusive of the California population and represents needs and perspectives of scientists in state investments. CIB worked with partners to identify achievable changes to conservation acquisition system that could improve efficacy of private funding, make public funding more efficient, engage sellers and donors more effectively, support tribes in Landback efforts, and accelerate the pace of habitat conservation in California. Local conservation efforts focused on properties for sale in the floodplain of a critical riparian system in Southern California. The properties are adjacent to National Forest land, provide movement connectivity for mountain lions, and are central to several California tribes and bands. Our team of land conservation specialists is meeting bimonthly to acquire these parcels for durable protection. DECOLONIZING LANDSCAPES:CIB advanced Pocket Forests solutions, to nurture recovery of local biodiversity and bring the benefits of nature to underinvested communities. CIB sponsored legislation establishing a statewide Pocket Forest program within CalFire to make grants to schools and communities in disadvantaged communities; our coalition of environment and environmental justice champions secured passage by the legislature but it was unfortunately vetoed by Governor Newsom. Working with local science teachers, CIB helped City of Berkeley develop a Miyawaki Forest project; the project received $150K to deliver four forests to underinvested communities. The Local Native Seedbank project convened NGOs, industry, agencies, scientists and other stakeholders to develop guidelines, build shared systems, secure funding, and ensure California has preserved seeds for the indigenous plants required to reestablish habitat, pollinators, and biodiversity. CIB was asked to help Save the Superbloom, by a coalition of NGOs concerned about how wildflower Superbloom sites are impacted by record numbers of visitors. CIB helped scope a project that integrates multilingual signage and interpretive material, investments in infrastructure such as public access trails and boardwalks, and curricula and educational materials for serving students and community members who otherwise would be excluded. Proponents now seek funding for expanding public access to Superblooms while reducing the harm of being loved too much. With coalition of EJ, pesticide, farming, and conservation groups CIB helped advocate for solutions to pesticide over- and mis-use. This includes establishing an Environmental Justice Advisory Committee for the Department of Pesticide Regulation, and reforming loopholes that allow agricorps to push unregistered and unlawful pesticides via coated seeds. Thanks to coalitions efforts the Governor and legislature are updating pesticide mill fee to invest in Californias transition to sustainable agriculture. EDUCATION AND ENGAGEMENT. CIB Worked with California mycological societies to officially designate a California State Mushroom. 11 local mycology clubs selected 6 candidate species, and thousands of Californians voted. CIB sponsored legislation, passed by the legislature and signed into law by the Governor. Biodiversity Curricula including CalAlive! K-12 curricula developed by CIB were donated to educators and nature centers in California, to support their important work educating the next generation. CIB awarded numerous student research grants to support students across California in their work to develop a statewide ATBI (All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory) of California life. Their projects are inspiring, their stories from the field delightful. 2738008 true true false true false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 7 0 true 1 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 4 3 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false CA X Daniel Gluesenkamp 9256312481 1400 Shattuck Ave Ste 12 PMB 101 Berkeley CA 94709 Daniel Gluesenkamp Chairman/ED 50.00 0.00 X X 264167 0 17840 Eric Berlow Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 John Geraci Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Natalie Musick Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 264167 17840 1 false true false International Barcode 583 Gordon St Guelph Ontario CA 500000 1 22400000 317061 22717061 0 636098 636098 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Miscellaneous 900099 2665 2665 2665 23355824 638763 1812266 1812266 10535 10535 0 0 264167 189711 42215 32241 0 2366 1699 378 289 22856 14816 5250 2790 11563 7495 2526 1542 14119 9152 3244 1723 0 515 91 417 7 41472 7342 33559 571 18954 18954 0 0 29517 5961 23086 470 0 8664 5620 1602 1442 5974 3534 1749 691 0 16116 10446 2980 2690 5605 2293 3079 233 0 0 0 0 0 4146 779 3166 201 Program Services 652862 652303 559 Equipment Rental & Maintenance 5386 5386 Program Materials 3138 3074 52 12 Miscellaneous 1667 275 1214 178 1003 616 237 150 2932891 2738008 149653 45230 9869688 4316456 0 100000 0 0 0 0 0 5349 5226 0 25953419 0 0 0 1477 1477 9876514 30376578 37073 114204 37073 114204 X -22543 618399 9861984 29643975 9839441 30262374 9876514 30376578 20422933 X false true X true false X 600 74510 11164178 22717061 33956349 0 0 600 74510 11164178 22717061 33956349 0 33956349 4515 636098 640613 0 5 5 34596967 2883 0.98150 0.99960 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 6206 42200 48406 2932891 2981297 299065 74766 false 208081 299065 507146 760719 48406 48406 52020 74766 126786 190179 4659 6206 10865 X 23355824 23355824 23355824 2932891 2932891 2932891 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization has been classified as an other-than-private foundation and is tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Organization is also exempt from California franchise taxes under Section 23701(d) of the Revenue and Taxation code and, therefore, has made no provision for Federal or California income taxes. In addition, the Organization has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service not to be a private foundation within the meaning of Section 509(a) of the Code. The Organization is subject to a tax on income from any unrelated business.The Organization adopted the recognition requirements for uncertain income tax positions as required by generally accepted accounting principles, with no cumulative effect adjustment required. Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more-likely-than-not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Organization has analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the Internal Revenue Service and all state jurisdictions where it operates. The Organization believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on the Organizations financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Accordingly, the Organization has not recorded any reserves or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at June 30, 2023. The Organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. true Calfornia Academy of Sciences 55 Music Concourse Drive San Francisco CA 94118 941156258 401836 0 Grants & Funding provided CDFA Plant Pest Diag Center 3294 Meadowview Rd Sacramento CA 95832 187626 0 Grants & Funding provided Fungal Diversity Survey 10385 Green Meadow Rd Sebastopol CA 95472 823721471 308649 0 Grants & Funding provided Santa Barbara Botanic Garden 1212 Mission Canyon Road Santa Barbara CA 93105 951644628 14940 0 Grants & Funding provided SaveNatureorg 699 Mississippi St 106 San Francisco CA 94107 943177095 136545 0 Grants & Funding provided SD Natural History Musuem 1788 El Prado San Diego CA 92101 951643375 97029 0 Grants & Funding provided The Regents of the University 1608 Fourth Street Suite 201 Berkeley CA 94710 205000 0 Grants & Funding provided University of CA Riverside Student ServicesBldg Rm1111 Riverside CA 92521 175000 0 Grants & Funding provided University of CA Santa Cruz 1156 High Street Santa Cruz CA 95064 81966 0 Grants & Funding provided University of CA Davis 1 Shields Ave Davis CA 95616 169167 0 Grants & Funding provided 0 10 X X X false false false false false false false false false Daniel Gluesenkamp Chairman/ED 264167 17840 282007 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The Organization will make the prepared Form 990 available to all voting Board Members for review.
