After the loss of USDA funding, the program strengthened its foundations, deepened relationships with farmers, took deliberate steps toward long-term, farmer-centered impact across the Southeast, and successfully mobilized new private and philanthropic funding. This funding diversification was an important step toward a more resilient financial model. One of the most significant achievements was the geographic expansion from North Carolina into Virginia, supporting a growing network of Black farmers adopting regenerative agricultural practices. It was supported by Cargill and built on trusted partnerships and existing farmer networks. By the end of 2025, the program was supporting more than 210 Black farmers across the two states. 2025 was also a year of systems-building, with significant time and effort were dedicated to developing the foundations of a tech-enabled Revolving Loan Fund, designed to address lack of access to affordable, appropriate finance. 817910 CANADA: FIRST 30X30 Indigenous-led conservation is essential to achieving national 30x30 biodiversity targets. While carbon markets have the potential to unlock long-term funding for Indigenous stewardship, early-stage financing remains scarce, preventing many First Nations from accessing these opportunities. In 2025, we advanced this mission: completed 3 pre-feasibility assessments (Market Opportunity Assessments, or MOAs) with Indigenous Nations, analyzing 600,000 acres of Indigenous territory; they represent the first step toward achieving approximately 16.7 million tonnes of sequestered and/or avoided CO2e emissions. First 30x30 has engaged 38 Nations across 6 provinces and territories. N4J secured a $10 million 5-year grant from the BHP Foundation towards year-end. $2 million was received in January 2026 and the remaining funds will be provided in the 3rd quarter or 2026. We have also received significant funding from RBC and expect additional funds in 2027. 28750 24867 AFRICA: NATURE-BASED SOLUTION PROJECTS: In 2025, we advanced our African NbS work laying strong foundations for long-term, community-centered impact across the region. We completed a detailed project plan and due diligence for a large-scale ecological restoration initiative covering approximately 38,550 acres in South Africa in partnership with ACT Group, Ecosystemiq and Apex Conservation Services. Its focus is restoring degraded thicket ecosystems dominated by Spekboom, a highly resilient indigenous succulent plant with exceptional ecological and climate protection value. Reflecting its strategic importance N4Js Board approved the establishment of a registered local entity Nature For Justice South Africa. During 2026, it will enable the growth of an in-country team, strengthening local partnerships, governance, and long-term delivery capacity. In Ethiopia, to advance regenerative agroforestry initiatives that place food security and farmer resilience at their core, we deepened our partnership with Alabaster International to co-develop an Enset-based mixed agroforestry programme. Enset - often referred to as the tree against hunger - is a drought-resilient staple crop central to rural livelihoods. 1982559 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 15 0 true 8 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false VA X X The Organization 2024176598 2235 Meridian St Falls Church VA 22046 Henry Arthur Cauley CEO 40.00 0.00 X 86670 0 3467 Kate Thompson Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Debbie Cohen SecretaryTreasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jeffery Rose Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Annie Schouw Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Frank Hicks Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Furlow Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael OBrien-Onyeka Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 86670 0 3467 0 false false false Ecosystemiq 31 Vorlich Road Lochearnhead Perthshire UK FK19 8QG Consulting 111587 Steve Nitah 2014910 46 St Yellowknife Northwest Territo CA X1A 1L2 Consulting 167593 Nature Focus Development LLC 39 North Gould Street Suite N Sheridan WY 82801 Consulting 131009 3 1174164 10661607 11835771 Contract Services 900099 24867 24867 Fiscal Sponsorship 900099 22400 22400 47267 614 614 0 Miscellaneous 900099 257 257 257 11883909 47524 0 614 X 897380 897380 86670 59193 19414 8063 411291 280902 92128 38261 21278 21278 60718 42870 17476 372 45245 29757 11574 3914 21630 13629 8001 80993 205 80788 697916 591753 51232 54931 1052 180 872 14225 613 13005 607 52434 37757 6867 7810 26934 26934 4965 4965 6608 6608 Subscriptions & Fees 29013 1386 26250 1377 2458352 1982559 360458 115335 756650 850742 1360158 10287570 33750 4965 28785 2116808 11167097 154718 86740 307290 462008 86740 X 1361 164135 1653439 10916222 1654800 11080357 2116808 11167097 9425557 0 X false true X true false X 433350 1389080 2912327 11835771 16570528 433350 1389080 2912327 11835771 16570528 11337752 5232776 118 470 134 614 1336 37 41 257 335 16572199 1883624 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 33750 4965 28785 28785 X 11883909 11883909 11883909 2458352 2458352 2458352 Part X, Line 2-Text in footnote regarding FIN 48 (ASC 740) The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under that guidance, the Organization may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Organization and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities as of year end. true Sub-Saharan Africa Program services Development Projects 28750 North America Not the United States Program services Development Projects 817910 846660 846660 false false false false false false true Farmer Support 92 897380 Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 The Board of Directors will be emailed the Form 990 draft and requested to provide any comments within several days of receipt.
