What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

The Job One for Humanity Plan for adapting to and solving global warming

Our independent climate change think tank has created a complete online, mostly free plan for managing climate change consequences and fixing the Climate Change Emergency.

Unlike other plans, the Job One Plan starts out by honestly confronting the harsh and uncensored reality that climate change has recently become irreversible (for at least the next few decades.) It then provides a deadline-driven, prioritized, and effective plan for all the individual, business, and national actions, which are needed to overcome the climate change emergency.

Here are the action steps our organization helps individuals, businesses, and nations to take:

a. emergency preparations for the now unavoidable 20 worst consequences of climate change,

b. adapt families, businesses, and nations to the unavoidable 20 worst consequences of climate change and,

c. radically slow and lessen our global use of fossil fuels which are the prime controllable cause of our global warming emergency!

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our goal is to get ever-increasing numbers of individuals onto our educational websites, spending more and more time reading our free online materials to educate them about the factors in our mission. Those factors are uncensored climate change facts, timetables and solutions, and the social justice issues that climate change races around the world. They also include climate change preparedness, adaptability, and resilience building for homes, businesses, and communities.

Another goal is to increase our newsletter subscribers, members, and donors.

Another goal is to establish as many new climate change-resilient eco-communities around the world as possible.

Another goal is to train as many new individuals as possible to create and manage climate change-resilient eco-communities worldwide.

We publish a regular newsletter that goes to about 7,000 subscribers.

We regularly post new climate change-related articles in our climate change blog. We have almost 1,600 blog articles we have created.

We regularly post our blog articles in about 30 climate change-related newsgroups online.

We run an invitation-only online climate change-related discussion forum that offers help and support on climate change and building climate-change-resilient homes, businesses, and communities.

We received a large Google ad words grant, and we aggressively place thousands of dollars of Google ads, which drive tens of thousands of individuals to our websites monthly, who are interested in climate information.

We have a team of active and transitional volunteers who help us manage all of our various educational activities. We have a total of about 140 individuals who have asked to volunteer for our organization.

We have professional-level expertise in our team for managing our organization, website, climate change research and analysis, advertising, and publications.

We have been given special rates for many services we use, and we have no payroll currently because, since 2018, we have been an all-volunteer organization.

We have established long-term relationships with the services we use and the occasional consultants we hire to help with areas we are not experts such as server security.

We have the only 100% publically funded climate change think tank known for publishing uncensored climate change facts, consequences, timetables, and solutions.

Over 400,000 unique visitors visit our websites every year for our free educational materials.

We have 7,000 subscribers to our newsletters.

We serve many millions of pages of educational materials online every year.

We have published almost 1,600 blog articles on the climate change emergency.

We have over 140 volunteers, and about 20 -40 are active somewhere in our organization on various actions at any one time.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
