We remain an educational organization with a civic engagement focus on sustainability. Our programs primarily target higher ed, with additional focus on K-12 and non-traditional learners. We work in collaboration with NGOs, community and faith based partners, government and public agency officials, and sustainability professionals. Our work remains highly consistent with our founding mission. Our web-based presence (www.pandopopulus.com) remains an active information and education hub; and we continue to have an active social media presence primarily over Facebook. Our newsletter, ROOTBALL, goes out to our community every few weeks with progress updates and involvement solicitations. Our YouTube channel archives our video content.Special Initiatives for 2024 included:- The fifth season of Pando Days, our flagship program bringing together colleges and universities from across the California Southland to help implement Los Angeles County's ambitious social and environmental goals, as articulated in its plan, OurCountyLA.LACounty.gov. Pando Days works at the intersection of higher ed and public agencies for community betterment. The 2024 program saw 21 higher education projects created in courses/studios/labs at institutions across the Southland - including Orange County. The program delivers on-the-ground community impact related to a range of diverse challenges. The program is produced in partnership with LA County's Chief Sustainability Office, in consultation with LA's Chief Sustainability Officer Strategic Taskforce.- Magenta House is our K-12 program on water and power conservation and efficiency for middle schools. The program reached more than 20 middle schools and eventually saw some 15 projects through to the Expo premier (Spring 2024). Magenta House offers extensive curricular resources, including content-related resources such as articles, videos, and special presentations and learning opportunities on water and power; as well as project-development resources such as a brainstorming workshop for project innovation, mentor, and advisor support, project presentation and pitch support and more.- CSO (Chief Sustainability Officer) Strategic Taskforce, a network we have developed serving sustainability professionals from across Los Angeles County representing higher ed, public agencies, NGOs, and business. The Taskforce holds occasional meetings up to three times per year; its members advise on special projects, such as Pando Days (which Taskforce members helped to conceive). In 2024, the Taskforce continued to build on its ouput of useful publications focused on Southland sustainability, under the direction and authorship of noted regional sustainability planner Mark VanderSchaff. The publications are made available free of charge via the Pando website. - Pando's office remains based on the Encino campus of the Sisters of Social Service, a collaborating partner for community development and support.- The Pando Sustainability Awards, an annual showcase of the student- and faculty-based projects developed through Pando Days and any of Pando's project-based learning programs. The Pando Awards is an opportunity to see and honor the on-the-ground, community-based work that Pando teams have developed over the prior season, and to network with an extroardinary group of civic, business, NGO, philanthropic, and other leaders. 2024 marked the third Pando Awards event, the second such event to be held on the campus of Caltech in Pasadena. 291345 true true false false false false false 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 false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 9 0 true 2 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 12 9 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true false false false false false CA X X Eugene Shirley 3104286406 8023 Beverly Blvd Ste 1 460 Los Angeles CA 90048 Eugene Shirley President 40.00 0.00 X X 110975 0 1525 Elizabeth Thompson Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ed Bacon Vice Chair 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Bielenberg Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marcella Oliva Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Paul Koretz Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rebecca Schmitt Sec/Treasurer 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 110975 1525 1 false false false 0 120000 257919 377919 0 9 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 377928 9 0 0 0 0 112500 56250 28125 28125 0 0 0 0 21888 10944 5472 5472 0 100 100 3140 3140 0 0 0 0 0 8791 8791 0 0 3900 3900 0 0 0 4620 4620 0 0 6836 6836 Program Services 213537 213537 Design and Branding 11650 9320 2330 Payroll Processing Fees 5653 5653 Website and Social Media 845 676 169 725 618 107 394185 291345 69243 33597 23982 22725 25 25 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 24007 22750 2299 2131 105000 90000 107299 92131 X -83292 -69381 -83292 -69381 24007 22750 X -16257 30168 X false false false X 232333 292664 268461 217780 335516 1346754 0 0 232333 292664 268461 217780 335516 1346754 520944 825810 138 34 13 6 9 200 0 0 1346954 0.61310 0.40920 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED SBA Note 90000 90000 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Executive Director reviews 990 and reports back to board.
