Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
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.

Executive Director
Ms. Annie Leonard
Annie Leonard has over two decades of experience investigating and explaining the environmental and social impacts of our stuff: where it comes from, how it gets to us, and where it goes after we get rid of it. Her film, The Story of Stuff, blossomed into The Story of Stuff Project, which works to empower people around the globe to fight for a more sustainable and just future. The project has built a community of over half a million people and released 8 more videos since The Story of Stuff, which has been incorporated into countless school and faith curricula. A hallmark of Leonard’s work with The Story of Stuff Project has been her keen recognition that solving environmental crises requires working across a wide range of movements to fix economic and political systems that are currently dominated byewvW corporations at the expense of people’s health.
Executive Director
Ebony Martin
Ebony Twilley Martin transformed into an environmental activist when her son developed asthma. Her pediatrician explained that it was caused, in part, by air pollution and the environmental inequities among communities of color. As a black mother, Ebony took it upon herself to learn everything she could about the fight for clean air, which led to a “dream job” at Greenpeace. The first Black woman to ever serve as co-Executive Director of a legacy environmental organization, Ebony brings together her passion for Environmental Justice, knack for recruiting and developing talent, and acumen to implement management practices that embed Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion goals into every aspect of the organization. Under Ebony’s leadership, Greenpeace has seen an increase of over 300% in BIPOC staff. She blazed this trail because of her deep belief in the power of a diverse, multiracial environmental movement to win a stable climate, fresh air, and clean water for all people.
