| Form 990, Part I, Line 1, Brief Summary of Organization Mission: | Earthworks is a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting communities and the environment from the adverse impacts of mineral and energy development while promoting sustainable solutions. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 1, Description of Organization Mission: | Earthworks stands for clean water, healthy communities and corporate accountability. We're working for solutions that protect both the Earth's resources as well as our communities. We fulfill our mission by working with communities and grassroots groups to reform government policies, improve corporate practices, influence investment decisions and encourage responsible materials sourcing and consumption. We expose the health, environmental, economic, social and cultural impacts of mining and energy extraction through work informed by sound science. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d, Other Program Services: | Earthworks Partnership Programs: Earthworks provides back-office services (including payroll, accounting, and administration), a legal framework, and capacity building support to a variety of small programs (single staff, or volunteer only organizations) that share our mission of protecting communities and the environment from the negative impacts of mineral development. This year Earthworks served as the fiscal sponsor of the following projects: Ethical Metalsmiths: This project seeks to stimulate demand and supply for responsibly-sourced materials for metalsmiths and jewelers. Common Ground United: This project provides a platform allowing diverse organizations, from local to national, to express a united voice concerning the projection of our water, cultural, ecological, and economic resources and the health and safety of our citizens from the adverse impacts of all extractive resource developments. Alaskans for Responsible Mining: A voluntary association of nongovernmental organizations working together to raise public awareness of the impacts of the extractive industry to Alaska's watersheds, wildlife, fisheries, communities and public health; and to reform Alaska's inadequate mining laws. Arizona Mining Reform Coalition: This project seeks to raise public awareness and protect indigenous sacred sites and recreational areas in the state of Arizona from irresponsible mineral development. ARO Working Group: The ARO Working Group's mission is to activate an international network of experts and change-makers who are operating in various capacities on the issue of environmental liabilities. Our strategy is to reveal and leverage real-time insolvency in the oil and gas industry due to severely undervalued environmental liabilities and asset retirement obligations to force E&P companies to stop drilling new wells and building new infrastructure. ShaleTest: To collect environmental data around natural gas facilities, including natural gas drilling operations; to establish baseline air and water testing; to perform post drilling testing and comprehensive testing around natural gas processing facilities in areas where natural gas drilling is occurring throughout the United States; and to provide environmental testing to lower income families and neighborhoods that are affected by natural gas exploration. Friends of Livingston Mountain: Friends of Livingston Mountain is a non profit group made up of neighbors and concerned citizens who wish to protect and preserve Livingston Mountain in Camas and East Vancouver Washington. Life on Livingston Mountain is being negatively impacted by the threat of expansion of gravel mining operations. Listen Up!: Listen Up (formerly Shalefield Organizing Committee) is a group of engaged community members working to protect human and ecological rights in Appalachia. By listening to and amplifying the voices of those most directly impacted by economic and ecological degradation and demanding accountability from those who hold power, we are helping to grow a grassroots movement for healthy people and ecosystems, a sustainable economy, and empowerment for Shalefield communities. Beyond Extreme Energy: People taking action to retire fossil fuels. Beyond Extreme Energy's immediate demand is for no new permits by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for fossil fuel infrastructure. Beyond Extreme Energy's vision is a world powered by consumer-controlled renewable energy. Campaign to End Sacrifice Zones: Diverse coalition of individuals, organizations, and businesses formed 1) to hear, connect, and amplify stories from New Mexico's Sacrifice Zones; 2) to grow the climate movement by inspiring imagination, possibility, & self-awareness toward the rapid transition to a healthy, clean, and renewably- powered state. Coalition for Oklahoma Renewable Energy: Our mission is to facilitate a just transition within the state of Oklahoma from fossil fuels to 100% renewable energy by 2050. Resilient Communities Network: Our is helping communities stop fracking, and accelerate the necessary shift away from fossil fuels to renewable energy while building resilient and sustainable systems to rely on during the transition. Stop the Frack Attack: Our goals are to be a movement hub that acts as a centralized place to coordinate with other groups working on oil and gas drilling using the fracking process and to ensure impacted community members are given a voice in the national debate about fracking. |
