FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS, OUR TEAM HAS WORKED THROUGHOUT THE U.S. TO PROVIDE FREE ASSISTANCE TO ANY COMMUNITY THAT REQUESTS OUR HELP WHEN FACING THE THREATS POSED BY FACTORY FARMS. SRAP'S FIELD OPERATIONS TEAM INCLUDES TECHNICAL EXPERTS, INDEPENDENT FARMERS, AND RURAL RESIDENTS WHO, LIKE THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE, HAVE EXPERIENCED THE IMPACTS OF INDUSTRIAL LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION FIRSTHAND.OUR TEAM OFFERS TECHNICAL AND STRATEGIC SUPPORT TO HELP PEOPLE EDUCATE AND MOBILIZE THEIR COMMUNITIES, NAVIGATE REGULATORY PROCESSES, ENGAGE LAWMAKERS, PUBLICIZE THEIR STORIES, AND ULTIMATELY BUILD COALITIONS TO REJECT HARMFUL INDUSTRIAL AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES AND ADVOCATE FOR A SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOOD FUTURE. SRAP ALSO LINKS THE PEOPLE MOST PROFOUNDLY IMPACTED BY OUR BROKEN FOOD SYSTEM WITH A NETWORK OF ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, PUBLIC INTEREST GROUPS, AND POLITICAL PLAYERS WHO CAN HELP. WE CONNECT LOCAL EFFORTS WITH STATE AND NATIONAL MOVEMENTS TO UNITE IN OUR CAUSE, COLLECTIVELY WORKING TO BRING BACK THE SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE, INDEPENDENT FARMS NEEDED TO FEED AMERICA. SRAP'S COMMUNITY SUPPORT PROGRAM HELD MORE THAT 14 PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL MEETINGS ON TOPICS SUCH AS RURAL FOOD PRODUCTION AD POLLUTION ISSUES WHICH WERE ATTENDED BY OVER 1,500 PEOPLE. 255738 CONTRACT GROWER TRANSITION PROGRAM: THE CONTRACT GROWER TRANSITION PROGRAM ALLOWS SRAP TO FURTHER TRANSFORM RURAL COMMUNITIES BY ENGAGING CONTRACT GROWERS AND PRODUCERS STRUGGLING WITHIN THE INDUSTRIAL AGRICULTURE SYSTEM. THROUGH THE TRANSITION PROGRAM, SRAP ENABLES CONTRACT GROWERS TO LEAVE THIS SYSTEM BEHIND BY TRAINING THEM TO WORK WITH THE COMMUNITIES MOST HARMED BY INDUSTRIAL AGRICULTURE. SRAP AIMS TO SIMULTANEOUSLY REDUCE THE NUMBER OF CONTRACT GROWERS TRAPPED BY THE CORPORATE AGRICULTURE MODEL, WHILE EMPOWERING THEM TO ADVOCATE FOR A SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE ANIMAL AGRICULTURE SYSTEM THAT PRIORITIZES PUBLIC HEALTH, THE ENVIRONMENT, AND ANIMAL WELFARE. THERE IS NO BETTER ADVOCATE TO ENGAGE RURAL COMMUNITIES FACING THREATS OF INCOMING OR EXPANDING INDUSTRIAL LIVESTOCK FACILITIES THAN THE PEOPLE WHO, TOO, WERE HARMED BY THE INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM. THE SRAP STAFF MEMBERS WHO LEAD THIS PROGRAM ARE FORMER CONTRACT GROWERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED INJUSTICES FIRSTHAND. THIS UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE MAKES THEM ESPECIALLY EFFECTIVE CHAMPIONS OF AGRICULTURAL REFORM AND ENABLES THEM TO OFFER INVALUABLE GUIDANCE TO RURAL RESIDENTS SUFFERING DUE TO NEARBY LIVESTOCK OPERATIONS AND TO CURRENT GROWERS STRUGGLING TO LEAVE THE INDUSTRY. 309363 WATER RANGERS: INDUSTRIAL LIVESTOCK OPERATIONS ARE AMONG THE WORST WATER POLLUTERS IN THE U.S. BECAUSE THESE FACILITIES CONFINE SO MANY ANIMALS IN ONE PLACE, THEY GENERATE VAST AMOUNTS OF WASTE, WHICH IS TYPICALLY STORED ONSITE BEFORE BEING APPLIED UNTREATED TO SURROUNDING LAND. UNFORTUNATELY, AS A RESULT OF WEAK REGULATORY POLICIES MISMANAGEMENT AND OVERAPPLICATION OF WASTE IS THE NORM, CAUSING GROUD AND SURFACE WATERS TO BE CONTAMINATED WITH POLLUTANTS SUCH AS NITROGEN, PHOSPHOROUS, ORGANIC MATTER, HEAVY METALS, AND HARMFUL PATHOGENS LIKE E. COLI, SALMONELLA, AND CRYPTOSPORIDIUM. THIS CONTAMINATES DRINKING WATER WELLS, CAUSES FISH KILLS, SPAWNS TOXIC ALGAL BLOOMS, AND RENDERS LOCAL WATERWAYS UNSAFE FOR SWIMMING, FISHING, BOATING, AND OTHER RECREATIONAL USES.IN SHORT, RURAL RESIDENTS LIVING NEAR INDUSTRIAL LIVESTOCK OPERATIONS ARE ON THE FRONT LINES OF A WATER POLLUTION CRISIS THAT THREATENS THEIR HEALTH, ENVIRONMENT, AND QUALITY OF LIFE. SRAP'S WATER RANGERS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO EMPOWER THESE COMMUNITIES TO PROTECT THEIR RIGHT TO CLEAN WATER AND TO HOLD INDUSTRIAL LIVESTOCK OPERATIONS ACCOUNTABLE FOR POLLUTION. WE TRAIN PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS IN EPA-APPROVED WATER TESTING TECHNIQUES, AND PROVIDE THEM WITH TOOLS TO COLLECT AND ANALYZE WATER SAMPLES. PARTICIPANTS ALSO LEARN HOW TO EFFECTIVELY DOCUMENT AND REPORT POLLUTION VIOLATIONS TO REGULATORS IN ORDER TO PROMPT ENFORCEMENT ACTION. THE WATER RANGERS PROGRAM EMPOWERS COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO REVERSE A DECADES-LONG TREND OF HANDING INDUSTRIAL AGRICULTURE A FREE PASS TO POLLUTE. 227455 FOOD AND FARM NETWORK: SRAP UNDERSTANDS THE THREATS COMMUNITY MEMBERS FACE WHEN AN INDUSTRIAL LIVESTOCK FACILITY COMES TO TOWN. WE ALSO KNOW THE IMPORTANCE AND NEED FOR ORGANIZING TO BUILD A BETTER FOOD FUTURE. THROUGH TECH TALKS, WEBINARS, ACTION ALERTS, AND AGRICULTURE POLICY BRIEFINGS, THE SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOOD & FARM NETWORK EMPOWERS ADVOCATES TO UNITE. AN EXTENSION OF OUR CORE MISSION TO OFFER OUTREACH, BASE BUILDING, EDUCATION, AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES, THIS FREE NATIONAL NETWORK BUILDS ON SRAP'S STRENGTHS- AND THE TEAM'S DECADES-LONG EXPERIENCE-TO ADVISE AND MOBILIZE ADVOCATES BEYOND THE CAFO ISSUE.THE NETWORK ENGAGES FARMERS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO ADVOCATE ON BEHALF OF REGENERATIVE FOOD SYSTEMS, SOCIAL JUSTICE, CLIMATE INITIATIVES, PUBLIC HEALTH, ANIMAL WELFARE, AND OTHER CRITICAL ISSUES. WITH REGULAR OPPORTUNITIES TO CONNECT WITH STATE, REGIONAL, AND NATIONAL COALITIONS AND ORGANIZATIONS, PLUS ADDITIONAL ACCESS TO TRAINING EVENTS AND EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, NETWORK PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN TO MORE EFFECTIVELY INFLUENCE POLICYMAKERS AND U.S. RESIDENTS, ALIKE, ON THE FOOD AND AGRICULTURE CONCERNS THAT MATTER MOST. 227455 1760124 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 14 0 1 25 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 OR X SHERRI DUGGER 5033628303 2093 PHILADELPHIA PIKE 4133 CLAYMONT DE 19703 JESSICA CULPEPPER PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ROBERT LAWRENCE SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MONICA BROOKS TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MIKE CALLICRATE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 AUSTIN FRERICK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DONALD STULL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SHERRI DUGGER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 120819 0 10478 CHRISTOPHER HUNT DEPUTY DIRECTOR 40.00 X 110763 0 12334 231582 0 22812 2 0 0 0 0 2516485 2516485 FEE FOR SERVICES 900099 40000 40000 40000 19569 19569 1800 3659 -1859 -1859 -1859 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 900099 1083 1083 1083 2575278 40000 0 18793 27069 27069 131297 72214 26259 32824 1395962 1090943 267493 37526 27273 20634 5781 858 190573 142562 40300 7711 119275 91014 22935 5326 12288 9093 2593 602 24864 13960 9980 924 93622 87893 4649 1080 104305 82346 17210 4749 5464 4864 487 113 72959 59010 11119 2830 3101 2392 576 133 6258 4631 1320 307 STAFF DEVELOPMENT AND T 67608 51499 13111 2998 2281918 1760124 423813 97981 1795487 943719 231914 1251883 118523 7054 7952 13086 5198 11332 7888 2045787 2329965 87280 78098 87280 78098 X 1748479 2103469 210028 148398 1958507 2251867 2045787 2329965 293360 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1690568 1425497 2503531 2427896 2516485 10563977 1690568 1425497 2503531 2427896 2516485 10563977 76017 10487960 208 686 1144 10366 19569 31973 3898 3898 467 627 1208 20921 1083 24306 10624154 70000 0.98720 0.98570 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 37 757 794 2281124 2281918 264096 66024 0 0 228341 252568 264096 745005 1117508 1070 406 794 2270 57085 63142 66024 186251 279377 702 241 37 980 13086 5198 7888 7888 X 2575278 0 2575278 0 2575278 2281918 0 2281918 0 2281918 PART X, LINE 2: SRAP IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, EXCEPT ON NET INCOME FROM UNRELATED BUSINESS ACTIVITIES.
