Mission
The organization advocates for the preservation of natural resources and healthy environment
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Talberth, sol communications: grant to help support a research report by john talberth that has been commissioned by the battle creek alliance and sol communications. Sol communications inc is a 501(c)(3) ngo dedicated to environmental and social projects that bring together people of many ethnicities and backgrounds. The report will estimate the average annual ghg emission associated with logging, road building, and potentially land use conversion using data from 2000-2021 in shasta and siskiyou counties. For comparison purposes, it will also estimate the average annual emissions associated with wildfires. The report will then estimate a range of climate damages associated with the annual average ghg emissions from logging, road building, and land use conversion in the two-county area. The sutdy will aid our mission of protecting the healthy forests in our area.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2022 to 2023, from $39k to $144k (+272%).
