What Center for Responsible Shale Development Inc does
Mission
The center for responsible shale development, inc. (crsd) brings together environmental, industry, and community responsibility when a decision is made to develop and extract shale.
As stated on its FY2019 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Beginning in 2013, we administered a third-party certification program for shale operators who exhibited leadership in environmental responsibility when shale gas resources are developed. Shale operators with operations in the appalachian basin could apply for third-party certification for meeting or exceeding our organization's leading environmental performance standards. In 2018, seeing that a number of our standards had been matched by state regulators and seeing that companies had internalized our standards as practices, crsd began to look at opportunities to apply our knowledge and commitment to environmental excellence in other aspects of the industry. To that end, we undertook a strategic planning process to build on our successes and look for greater influence. The outcomes of that process were addressed in 2019 and will be applied in 2020 with a greater focus on impacts all across the shale gas value chain in appalachia.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $237k to $106k (−55%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
