The projects we fund follow a particular proven method ("the EAGLE model"), generally consisting of the following elements: investigations, including selecting , hiring and training undercover investigators to successfully identify and infiltrate large-scale, illegal wildlife trafficking operations in order to develop concrete evidence that can be used to bring them to justice in accordance with national and international laws in force; Operations, including providing assistance to national law enforcement in bringing about arrests and supervising law enforcement operation in the field to guard against corruptions, such as bribery and peddling; Legal assistance, including helping government lawyers bring about the prosecution of wildlife offenses and monitoring the legal process at every step (arraignment, trial, sentencing, and bring about the prosecution of wildlife offenses and monitoring the legal process at every step (arraignment, trial, sentencing, and incarceration) in order to intercept and combat corruption attempts; and Media including preparing and distributing press releases and encouraging in-country TV news, radio news and the written press to publicize the operational and legal successes, thereby educating the public on the illegality of wildlife poaching and trafficking, demonstrating that the laws are actively enforced, and amplifying the deterrent effect of the legal successes. In 2024, we awarded grans to a number of organizations that operate projects that follow the EAGLE model. Collectively, these organizations operating funded projects, and the overall program itself, is called the EAGLE Network. Before making any grants, the EAGLE US board of directors conducts a pre-grant inquiry to ensure that the proposed grantee will use the grant funds in a manner that exclusively furthers our charitable and educational purposes. These inquiries focus on the identity, prior programmatic history, and experience of the potential grantees and managers. We only make a grant to an organization when we are satisfied that the grantee intends to use and is capable of using the funds in the manner required, in close adherence to the procedures and policies we establish, and that sufficient political stability exists within the country for the funded project be successful. EAGLE US receives and maintains reports from each grantee at least annually on the use of grant funds, the grantee's compliance with the terms of the written grant statement, and the progress made by the grantee toward achieving the purpose for which each grant is made. 1 Friends of Freeland Foundation PO Box 522 Town Square Office Bldg 2nd Floor 429 Hill Street Green Lake WI 54941 980616750 501(c)3 9000 0 0 Grant was a one-time grant to support urgent work in the illegal trade of of pangolin scales and ivory. 1 1 Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 EAGLE US accomplishes its charitable purposes by making grants to nonprofit organizations working in key African countries to support programs that are designed to increase wildlife law enforcement effectiveness, produce effective deterrents against wildlife crime, and combat the illegal wildlife trade so detrimental to the survival of elephants, apes and other threatened species.
