Through research, training and implementation activities, we improve understanding and elevate the level of dialog and practice as society responds to natural resource, environmental and social challenges. We serve as a framework for equal collaboration among individuals and organizations in the North and South. 0 0 742329 65805 183087 ISET'S work bridges the science-policy-implementation divide across regions and cultures. We are engaged in both basic research and applied implementation activities, with a particular focus on the translation of global natural and social scientific insights into local contexts in a manner that improves understanding and enables action. We also analyze the implications of local physical, cultural, economic and other system dynamics for global and high-level policy and strategy. ISET's activities combine knowledge generation, learning and the incubation of innovative strategies through pilot scale implementation. 742329 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 6 0 1 6 1 0 1 VM TH IN 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X Karen MacClune 7206007248 4770 Lee Circle Boulder CO 80303 Marcus Moench Chairman of the Board 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Peter Backlund Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Seema Bhatt Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ajaya Dixit Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dipak Gyawali Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Fawad Khan Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Anna Brown Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Raj Pandya Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Karen MacClune Executive Director 37.50 X 107293 0 3219 Gulnara Reznik Controller 20.00 X 55435 0 0 162728 0 3219 1 0 0 0 0 721241 721241 Service contracts 541700 183087 183087 183087 43911 43911 948239 183087 0 43911 X 65805 65805 78362 59823 18539 232081 177441 54640 3191 2436 755 58533 44685 13848 24591 18675 5916 16630 16630 305483 293256 12227 24980 16082 8898 55226 50572 4654 10355 10355 579 579 3933 3933 Dues and subscriptions 7009 3199 3810 Licenses and permits 20 20 886778 742329 144449 0 87835 89603 283963 515735 15773 34642 14584 5365 2894 1472 2001 1422 711882 529090 1116038 1175857 141037 173226 249824 215993 390861 389219 X 716302 778882 8875 7756 725177 786638 1116038 1175857 61461 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 330287 373626 749046 690076 721241 2864276 330287 373626 749046 690076 721241 2864276 2478757 385519 1827 1529 1529 22735 43911 71531 389 389 2936196 1420722 0.13130 0.14560 X 0.36200 0.00730 The Institute for Social and Environmental Transition International (ISET-International) was founded in 1997 to address water issues in South Asia. Founders were curious to learn how rapidly expanding communities in India and Nepal, already facing water scarcity and management challenges, could prepare for and adapt to the additional stresses that growing population and other changes would bring. ISET-International has since grown into an organization that works not only in South Asia but around the world. With offices located in Boulder and Hanoi, we are able to pursue projects throughout South and Southeast Asia and North and South America. We have transformed from a water-focused organization into an NGO that works on a range of climate change resilience and disaster risk reduction activities, including:Providing technical expertise on disaster and climate resilience;Implementation of resilience building programs; Providing training on disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, and resilience; andConducting forensic post-disaster analysis. Much of ISET-International's recent work and research has focused on urban areas. The world is urbanizing at an incredible pace at the same time that climate change is changing the risk landscape, intensifying old risks and creating new ones. To meet these challenges, it is critical that we close the gap between on-the-ground adaptation and resilience needs and global knowledge and capacity. ISET-International works in this space, building strong connections and functioning as the 'backbone' that brings diverse groups together to bridge gaps and share information.As illustrated above and in Part III of the 990, our program service activities are critical and directly benefit the general public on a continuing basis. ISET-International is organized and operated to attract new and additional public support on a continuous basis. Funding for the Institute is primarily obtained through grants and contributions by various U.S. and international organizations. The Institute receives a significant portion of its support from large grants made by a small number of private organizations. The grantor organizations vary from year to year. While certain large grants from private organizations may continue in the near term, this support is crucial to the support of the program service activities that accomplish the overall exempt purpose. Finally, the governing body represents the broad interest of the public, with no one individual or group of individuals having undue control or influence over the organization's funding or affairs. Each board member brings important skill sets, specialized knowledge, qualifications and expertise that help the organization plan and achieve its strategic objectives. ISET-International qualifies as a publicly supported organization under the facts and circumstances test set forth in Treas. Reg. 1.170A-9(f)(3). The public support exceeded the 10 percent threshold for public charities. Furthermore, the sources of support, governing body and programs it conducts all demonstrate sufficient public support to meet the facts and circumstances test.
