| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | DENOMINATIONAL THROUGH OUR DENOMINATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS (CHRISTIAN ETHICS OF FARMED ANIMAL WELFARE US)WORK, WE ADVANCE THE CAUSE OF FARMED ANIMAL WELFARE AT THE DENOMINATIONAL LEVEL IN THE US AND ENCOURAGE US CHURCHES TO ADD FARMED ANIMAL WELFARE TO THEIR FAITH CONCERNS. THE WORK BUILDS ON THE WORK OF DAVID CLOUGH AND MARGARET ADAM ON THE UK-BASED RESEARCH PROJECT OF THE SAME NAME. IN 2020, THE CEFAW PARTNERS HELD THE FIRST OF A SERIES OF WEBINARS DESIGNED TO DEEPEN EDUCATION AND ENGAGEMENT OF PARTICIPATING DENOMINATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES PRIOR TO A NATIONAL SUMMIT (ORIGINALLY PLANNED FOR MAY 2020, RESCHEDULED TENTATIVELY TO 2022). THE FIRST WEBINAR FOCUSED ON FRAMING ANIMAL WELFARE AS A CHRISTIAN CONCERN, WORKER JUSTICE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH, THE LATTER TWO BEING ISSUE PRIORITIES FOR A NUMBER OF DENOMINATIONS IN THE US. RESEARCH CONVERSATIONS WITH PARTICIPANTS EARLIER THIS YEAR SHOWED LOW INVESTMENT IN ANIMAL WELFARE ACROSS MOST DENOMINATIONS, HOWEVER WEBINAR PARTICIPANTS WERE UNIFORMLY ENTHUSIASTIC AND ENGAGED IN THE WEBINAR CONVERSATIONS, DEMONSTRATING THE POSSIBILITY THAT ANIMAL WELFARE CAN GAIN A FOOTHOLD. CEFAW-US DENOMINATIONAL PARTICIPANTS REPRESENT 91.9 MILLION US CHRISTIANS AND 86,000 CONGREGATIONS, ALONG WITH MANY COLLEGES, UNIVERSITIES, AND SEMINARIES. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4B | EDUCATION & AWARENESS THROUGH OUR TRAINING/EDUCATION AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS, CREATUREKIND HELPS CHRISTIANS UNDERSTAND FAITH-BASED REASONS FOR CARING ABOUT THE WELLBEING OF FARMED ANIMALS, AND EQUIPS THEM TO TAKE PRACTICAL ACTION IN RESPONSE, WITH GOALS THAT INCLUDE CHANGING INDIVIDUAL AND INSTITUTIONAL FOOD PRACTICES, REDUCING OR ELIMINATING CONSUMPTION OF ANIMAL PRODUCTS, AND MAKING FARMED ANIMAL WELFARE AN ECCLESIAL PRIORITY ACROSS THE SPECTRUM OF CHRISTIANITY. IN 2020, PRESENTED MORE THAN 20 TIMES; WERE FEATURED IN 8 OUTSIDE PUBLICATIONS; AND INCREASED OUR REACH ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE WEB. WE PRODUCED A NUMBER OF RESOURCES DESIGNED TO HELP CHRISTIANS IN DIVERSE CONTEXTS TALK ABOUT ANIMALS AND OUR CHRISTIAN CALL TO CARE FOR THEM, AND WE CONTINUED TO PROMOTE THE SIX-WEEK CREATUREKIND SMALL GROUP COURSE FOR CHURCHES, WHICH HELPS CHRISTIAN COMMUNITIES THINK TOGETHER ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO BE CHRISTIAN IN RELATION TO FARMED ANIMALS. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4C | CREATUREKIND FELLOWS THE CREATUREKIND FELLOWS PROGRAM HELPS CHRISTIAN STUDENTS DEVELOP LEADERSHIP SKILLS, DEEPEN THEIR THEOLOGY OF ANIMALS, AND CONNECT THEM WITH LIKE-MINDED YOUNG LEADERS AND MENTORS. EACH FELLOW COMPLETES A PROJECT THAT FURTHERS THE MISSION OF CREATUREKIND IN THEIR OWN CONTEXT: A LOCAL FAITH COMMUNITY OR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION. CREATUREKIND WORKED WITH SEVEN FELLOWS IN 2020. THEIR PROJECTS INCLUDE: DISCUSSIONS AT THE JESUIT SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY (JST) ABOUT THE SENTIENCE AND SACREDNESS OF FARMED ANIMALS, AND ABOUT HOW CARE FOR GODS NONHUMAN CREATION CAN INTERSECT WITH OTHER LOCAL AND GLOBAL ISSUES. OUR FELLOW HELD A MINDFUL EATING MEDITATION FOR CLERGYPERSONS ON SABBATICAL AT THE SCHOOL, WHERE CLERGY FROM AROUND THE GLOBE PARTICIPATED IN A GUIDED MEDITATION THAT CHALLENGED THE WAYS HUMANS ENCOUNTER FOOD AND HOW IT ARRIVES ON OUR TABLES. OUR FELLOW IN NORTH CAROLINA FOCUSED ON EDUCATION AT HIS LOCAL PARISH, RAISING AWARENESS OF THE HARMS OF FACTORY FARMING IN NORTH CAROLINA AND CONSTRUCTING A THEOLOGY OF CONNECTEDNESS, CREATURELINESS, AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE EARTH. ANOTHER FELLOW CAMPAIGNED AT VARIOUS LEVELS OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH TO CRAFT LEGISLATION AND POLITY IN DEFENSE OF FARMED ANIMALS. A FELLOW AT DUKE DIVINITY HELD A SERIES OF EVENTS TO EQUIP PASTORS WITH THE THEOLOGICAL, EXEGETICAL, AND HOMILETICAL RESOURCES THAT ARE NEEDED TO PREACH EFFECTIVELY ABOUT ANIMALS. A FRENCH FELLOW IS TRANSLATING AND CONTEXTUALIZING THE CREATUREKIND SIX-WEEK COURSE INTO FRENCH IN ORDER TO PROMOTE AND RUN IT AMONG CHRISTIAN CHURCHES IN FRANCE. A FELLOW IN TEXAS IS DEVELOPING A PODCAST (THE FAITHFUL PLATE) WHERE PEOPLE OF FAITH CAN LEARN HOW THEIR FAITH IMPACTS WHAT IS ON THEIR PLATES AND PARTICIPATE IN CONVERSATIONS THAT HELP CHRISTIANS TO HAVE AN INCLUSIVE ANIMAL THEOLOGY AND ETHIC. AND A FELLOW IN AUSTRALIA IS WORKING TO EXPLORE AN AUSTRALIAN PERSPECTIVE ABOUT HOW PEOPLE OF FAITH CAN CONTRIBUTE TO A TRULY SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEM AND A BETTER LIFE FOR FARMED ANIMALS THROUGH A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF CURRENT ANIMAL AGRICULTURE. |

THIS YEAR, IN RESPONSE TO NEWS REPORTS THAT SLAUGHTERHOUSES WERE BEING IDENTIFIED AS HOTSPOTS FOR THE SPREAD OF COVID-19, THAT THEY WERE BEING ORDERED TO STAY OPEN AS "ESSENTIAL" BUSINESS, AND THAT WORKERS (THE VAST MAJORITY OF WHOM ARE PEOPLE OF COLOR OR UNDOCUMENTED PERSONS) WERE SUFFERING AS A RESULT, THE LEAGUE OF UNITED LATIN AMERICAN CITIZENS (LULAC) ISSUED A PUBLIC CALL FOR "MEATLESS MAY MONDAYS," A PARTIAL BOYCOTT TO BRING AWARENESS TO THE PLIGHT OF WORKERS. CREATUREKIND LED THE DRAFTING OF AN OPEN, PASTORAL LETTER IN SUPPORT OF SLAUGHTERHOUSE WORKERS (THAT WE SEE THEM, WE AFFIRM THEIR HUMANITY AND DIGNITY, AND WE ARE GRIEVING ALONGSIDE THEM) AND THIS CALL AND SENT IT TO LULAC.
