WE HELD FIVE-DAY IN-PERSON EVENT IN NEW ORLEANS, LA TO HEAR FROM LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERS AND ANOTHER IN-PERSON EVENT, HOSTING A FOUR-DAY FUNDERS RETREAT IN WHITEFISH, MT, LEARNING FROM WOMEN ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERS WHO ARE PROTECTING AND STEWARDING THE LAND, AS WELL FROM INDIGENOUS LEADERS. ADDITIONALLY, WE OFFERED REGIONAL EVENTS, MULTIPLE IN-OFFICE EVENTS, AND WEBINARS HIGHLIGHTING VARIOUS PHILANTHROPIC ISSUES. IN ALL THESE FORUMS, BOTH FUNDER AND CATALYST MEMBERS LEARNED FROM EACH OTHER AND EXPERTS ABOUT INTERRELATED CHALLENGES TO THE ENVIRONMENT, HUMAN HEALTH, ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, AND COMMUNITY WELL-BEING, AS WELL AS THE ROLE THAT WOMEN LEADERS AND PHILANTHROPISTS PLAY IN AMENDING PAST AND PRESENT HARM AND WORK TOWARDS BUILDING A MORE SUSTAINABLE AND LIVABLE FUTURE. BEYOND THEIR EDUCATION VALUE, THESE EVENTS PROVIDED MEMBERS A SENSE OF COMMUNITY. 531998 438250 GRANTMAKING PROGRAMS: OUR SIGNATURE PROGRAM, THE CATALYST PROGRAM, CELEBRATES WOMEN OF COLOR WHO ARE BUILDING A HEALTHIER, SAFER, AND MORE JUST WORLD BY PROVIDING FINANCIAL, LEADERSHIP, AND NETWORKING SUPPORT. THE PROGRAM AIMS TO HELP ADDRESS RACIAL INEQUALITY IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL FUNDING SPACE. IN 2025, WE RECOGNIZED SIX AWARDEES AND SIX FINALISTS WHO ARE ADVOCATING AGAINST THE CRISIS OF LEAD EXPOSURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL INJUSTICE IN DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES, WORKING FOR RIVER RESTORATION, WATER SECURITY, AIR QUALITY, CLIMATE RESILIENCE, FOOD JUSTICE, AND INDIGENOUS RIGHTS, AMONG OTHER TOPICS. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING AN ANNUAL $15,000 STIPEND TO THE AWARDEES AND A $10,000 ORGANIZATIONAL (IF APPLICABLE) GRANT TO THEIR AFFILIATED ORGANIZATION, WE FOSTER THEIR SENSE OF COMMUNITY THROUGH A LISTSERV AND DISCUSSION GROUPS TO PROVIDE A COMMUNITY OF ADVICE AND SUPPORT. ADDITIONALLY, IF AWARDEES CHOOSE TO UTILIZE A PORTION OF THEIR GRANT TOWARDS LEADERSHIP SERVICES, WE OFFER TO HELP FACILITATE THROUGH ONE OF OUR VENDORS. IN 2025, RACHEL'S NETWORK LAUNCHED A NEW PROGRAM: THE LEGACY AWARD. THIS PROGRAM WAS INITIATED TO SUPPORT WOMEN LEADERS OF COLOR WITH LONG EXPERIENCE IN AND DEEP DEDICATION TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT. THE INAUGURAL LEGACY AWARDEES PARTICIPATED IN A WEEK-LONG RETREAT IN DAKAR, SENEGAL, WHERE THEY MET WITH SOCIAL JUSTICE LEADERS, CONNECTED WITH EACH OTHER, AND HAD SPACE FOR REFLECTION, LEARNING, AND REST. OUR FUNDER MEMBERS WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE CATALYST PROGRAM ARE FUNDING MORE BIPOC-LED ORGANIZATIONS THAN THEY DID BEFORE PARTICIPATING. 1452356 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 58 0 1 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 14 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 X THE ORGANIZATION 2026590846 1250 24TH ST NW 610 WASHINGTON DC 20037 RAKEFET KASDIN CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MOLLY ROSS VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JOSIE GABEL TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 FLORENCE LIDDELL SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MARTHA DAVIS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BARBARA GONZALEZ-MCINTOSH DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TACY HAHN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANNEL HERNANDEZ DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARIA KOLBY-WOLFE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALICE LIDDELL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ELENA MARSZALEK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 VIRGINIA NECOCHEA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 AUTUMN SAXTON-ROSS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 NIKKI TRAYLOR-KNOWLES DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 FERN SHEPARD PRESIDENT 40.00 X 165771 0 9781 JAMIE BOESE PROGRAM DIRECTOR 40.00 X 106000 0 6695 SHREYA DURVASULA CATALYST PROGRAM DIRECTOR 40.00 X 106000 0 4240 HANNAN SHEIKH FINANCE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 106000 0 4191 SARAH WALKER MEMBERSHIP AND DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR 40.00 X 105961 0 4063 589732 0 28970 5 0 1 0 0 475838 1470320 46338 1946158 MEETING REGISTRATION F 900099 169717 169717 169717 63376 63376 482114 482610 -496 -496 -496 RAN REIMBURSEMENT 900099 14432 14432 CREDIT CARD CASHBACK 900099 749 749 15181 2193936 184898 0 62880 150000 150000 289250 289250 175489 129076 22540 23873 508961 374351 65371 69239 19084 14037 2451 2596 34328 25249 4409 4670 54855 40347 7046 7462 99 99 32201 32201 8027 8027 11918 5354 5574 990 1303 1303 20909 18590 987 1332 16363 11841 1995 2527 173037 127272 22225 23540 25842 23921 384 1537 217360 210495 6865 5161 5161 8330 8330 HONORARIA 19800 19800 0 0 MEMBER COMMUNICATIONS 9838 9838 0 0 OTHER EXPENSES 3407 1632 1473 302 1785562 1452356 188273 144933 566109 451167 805 5193 2544 52731 41827 58266 52291 9190 5975 1190375 1365892 40163 40163 1861917 1910217 324423 9124 63750 11700 8278 8194 396451 29018 X 942512 959293 522954 921906 1465466 1881199 1861917 1910217 408374 7359 0 X 0 0 0 X 1351249 1671240 1719513 1270989 1946158 7959149 1351249 1671240 1719513 1270989 1946158 7959149 820168 7138981 52545 40293 49049 65326 63376 270589 9109 4267 4229 5283 15181 38069 8267807 0.86350 0.87930 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1 X 58266 52291 5975 5975 PART IV, LINE 2B: RACHEL'S NETWORK IS ACTING AS A FISCAL AGENT FOR VARIOUS OTHER PROGRAMS AND ORGANIZATIONS.
