THIS INITIATIVE PROMOTES FOOD SOVEREIGNTY, EQUITY, AND JUSTICE, ENSURING THAT HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED FISHERS, FARMERS, AND RANCHERS CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE MARKET. IN 2024, THE INITIATIVE MOVED FROM DEVELOPMENT TO IMPLEMENTATION, INCREASING THE VISIBILITY AND MARKET PRESENCE OF THESE PRODUCERS. THE WAVE FOUNDATION STRENGTHENED ITS PARTNERSHIP WITH COMPASS GROUP USA, NORTH AMERICA'S LARGEST CORPORATE FOOD SERVICE ORGANIZATION, TO FURTHER THE MARKETPLACE'S REACH. (SEE CONTINUATION ON SCHEDULE O). ADDITIONALLY, THE WAVE FOUNDATION SUPPORTED THE CREATION OF THE WAVE MARKETPLACE, LLCA TRIBAL-OWNED PRIVATE SECTOR ENTITYTO FACILITATE THE SALE OF THESE PRODUCTS IN THE FOOD SERVICE INDUSTRY.

THIS INITIATIVE NOW INCLUDES PUBLIC AGENCIES AT THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVELS. 8289 ENVIRONMENTAL EQUITY AND JUSTICE: THE WAVE FOUNDATION CONTINUED WORKING WITH TRIBAL AND BIPOC COMMUNITIES TO ADVANCE EQUITY AND JUSTICE GOALS WITHIN OUR CORE PROGRAMS. OUR EFFORTS TO REFORM REGIONAL FOOD SYSTEMS PRIORITIZE INCREASING ACCESS FOR TRIBAL, BIPOC, WOMEN, AND OTHER UNDERREPRESENTED FOOD PRODUCERS TO THE LARGER, MORE ECONOMICALLY VIABLE FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY. OUR CLEAN ENERGY AND TRANSPORTATION INITIATIVES DIRECTLY BENEFIT COMMUNITIES OF COLOR, WHICH ARE OFTEN DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED BY CLIMATE-RELATED POLLUTION. 24865 YOUTH ENGAGEMENT: IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MUSCO, THE BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS, YAKAMA NATION, AND THE US SOCCER FOUNDATION, THE WAVE FOUNDATION FURTHER DEVELOPED A PROGRAM TO BUILD MINI-SPORTS COURTS IN NORTHWEST NATIVE COMMUNITIES.
