Through interactive, high school and college lessons, we inspired critical thinking and dynamic discussions about the connections between industrial animal agriculture and current key issues impacting us alllike animal welfare, climate change and environmental sustainability, human rights, and personal and public health. Our unique programming was led by educators who are both passionate about this work and trained in leading and facilitating challenging conversations with students who are often learning about these issues for the first time. The Organization also accomplished leadership development. In the Leadership Academy, participants gained the tools to build the foundation for structural change in your institutions and communities. Participants will have the option to apply to continue in the academic-year fellowship, which runs for the fall and spring terms. In the academic-year fellowship, each fellow worked with New Roots Institute and a partner organization towards an individualized campaign to drive change on their campus and in their communities. Fellows received coaching, mentorship, and access to learning and career development opportunities. Alumni received continued support from New Roots Institute, and remained a part of both the Leadership Program and a wider, life-long network of alumni. 1222118 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 5 0 true 36 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 4 4 false false false false false false false true false false false false true true true true true true true false CA CO CT FL GA HI IL KY MA MD ME MI NC NH NJ NM NY OH OR PA RI SC WA WI X X Kara Lombard 2095538009 1110 N Virgil Ave Suite 98280 Los Angeles CA 90029 Monica Chen Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 88945 0 6387 Jesse Tandler Managing Director 40.00 0.00 X 83901 0 11376 Naomi Sachs Chair Director 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Bonnie Brown Treasurer Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jennifer Barckley Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jay O'Shea Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kia Hill Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 172846 17763 0 false false false 0 3427477 17088 3427477 Program service fees 611710 18761 18761 18761 62497 62497 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Miscellaneous 274 274 274 3509009 18761 62771 11958 11958 39108 39108 14500 14500 0 207288 51806 103644 51838 0 1537413 922738 326543 288132 0 69708 39703 19972 10033 138310 81695 27147 29468 0 3700 3700 24403 24403 0 0 0 7790 7790 16449 16449 34029 16950 11604 5475 72363 72363 0 0 52343 27341 5848 19154 0 0 0 0 0 0 Miscellaneous 19469 4715 14754 Program supplies 11604 11604 0 2260435 1222118 617768 420549 0 1384916 2601974 763500 1020000 0 0 0 0 0 18062 31034 0 461241 254721 0 0 0 0 2627719 3907729 63304 93249 15878 5342 79182 98591 X 1508037 2500638 1040500 1308500 2548537 3809138 2627719 3907729 1248574 12027 X false true X true false X 1489539 1195999 1550990 2664183 3427477 10328188 0 0 1489539 1195999 1550990 2664183 3427477 10328188 1105276 9222912 976 130 31944 40068 62497 135615 0 360 9969 673 274 11276 10475079 66423 0.88050 0.87680 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3521036 12027 12027 3509009 3509009 2260435 2260435 2260435 Europe/Iceland/Greenland 0 0 Grants to recipients 4500 North America 0 0 Grants to recipients 2500 South Asia 0 0 Grants to recipients 3000 Sub-Saharan Africa 0 0 Grants to recipients 4500 14500 14500 project grant Europe 3 4500 wire project grant North America 2 2500 wire project grant South Asia 2 3000 wire project grant Sub-Saharan Africa 2 4500 wire false false false false false false true ProVeg International 82 Wendell Avenue 100 Pittsfield MA 02101 463038496 501(c)(3) 10000 0 Sponsor Animal & Vegan Summit 1 0 Project grants 22 34000 Travel grants 12 5108 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used Grant provided once the fellowship requirements were met. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b We do not provide a copy of the 990 to board members prior to it being filed. The form is prepared by our CPA, reviewed by the Executive Director and the Director of Operations and filed electronically. It is then posted on our website. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Any Director, officer, or member of a committee with Board of Directors delegated powers, who has a direct or indirect financial interest is covered by the policy. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, they shall leave the Board of Directors or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining Board of Directors or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. An interested person may make a presentation at the Board of Directors or committee meeting, but after the presentation, they shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. To ensure the Organization operates in a manner consistent with charitable purposes and does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its tax-exempt status, periodic reviews and training about inurements, impermissive private benefits, and excess benefit transactions shall be conducted. If the Board of Directors or committee has reasonable cause to believe a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the member of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the member's response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the Board of Directors or committee determines the member has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15a To establish the Compensation Policy, we researched compensation programs of related organizations, market-priced our jobs using online compensation tools and salary surveys, and worked with external human resource professionals. New Roots has established a flat-rate compensation structure, meaning we pay the exact same salary/hourly rate to every employee within the same leadership layer. For New Roots Institute, a flat-rate structure results in: A simplified compensation system that's easier to administer and explain compared to complex structures with multiple levels and variables. A reputation for fair and equitable pay practices that can be a strong recruitment tool. An approach that aligns well with a culture that values teamwork, equity, and transparency. The Director of Operations submits a salary recommendation to the Board of Directors for the approval of the Executive Director's salary. It includes a description of our methodology, benchmarking sources, and internal salary structure.
