| FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 | RARE IS THE LEADING BEHAVIOR CHANGE ORGANIZATION IN CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. IN OUR MORE THAN FOUR DECADES OF WORK, RARE HAS LAUNCHED OVER 450 BEHAVIOR CHANGE CAMPAIGNS (KNOWN AS "PRIDE") IN MORE THAN 60 COUNTRIES, INSPIRING LOCAL COMMUNITIES TO ADOPT MORE SUSTAINABLE FISHING HABITS, END DEFORESTATION, PRESERVE HABITAT, AND SAVE SPECIES. PRIDE INCREASES AND ACCELERATES THE ADOPTION OF CONSERVATION SOLUTIONS - AND THE CHANGE LASTS. RARE'S PEOPLE-CENTERED, PARTICIPATORY APPROACH TO CONSERVATION EMPOWERS LOCAL LEADERS AND ELEVATES THE ROLE OF FISHERS, FARMERS, AND OTHER PEOPLE WHO DEPEND ON NATURE IN LOCAL DECISION-MAKING AND GOVERNANCE. THIS COMMUNITY-LED APPROACH IS BUOYED BY PARTNERSHIPS WITH OFFICIALS AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT FROM MAYORS TO MINISTERS AND WITH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS, UNIVERSITIES AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS CAPABLE OF REMOVING BARRIERS AND PAVING THE WAY FOR ENDURING SOLUTIONS. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 5 | DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2022, RARE IDENTIFIED A MISAPPROPRIATION OF ASSETS THAT OCCURRED IN A FIELD OFFICE OF THE ORGANIZATION OVER A PERIOD OF MULTIPLE YEARS. THE MISAPPROPRIATION INVOLVED UNAUTHORIZED, FRAUDULENT USE OF RARE FUNDS BY A FORMER EMPLOYEE IN A POSITION OF FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. UPON DISCOVERY, RARE NOTIFIED THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND DONORS AND IMMEDIATELY INITIATED AN INTERNAL INVESTIGATION TO DETERMINE THE FULL EXTENT OF THE INCIDENT AND IDENTIFY ANY OTHER POTENTIAL IRREGULARITIES; NONE WERE FOUND. THE MISAPPROPRIATION WAS COMMITTED IN A FOREIGN CURRENCY, THE APPROXIMATE TRANSLATED AMOUNT WAS $1.3M USD OF WHICH $0.34M USD WAS IN FY22. RARE EXPECTS TO RECOVER THE TOTAL AMOUNT IDENTIFIED AS MISAPPROPRIATED ASSETS. RARE RECORDED THE FY22 AMOUNT AS A RECEIVABLE AND EXPENSED THE REMAINING AMOUNT AS A CONTINGENT LOSS. RARE HAS TAKEN THE NECESSARY ACTIONS TO ADDRESS THE MISAPPROPRIATION, PROTECT THE ORGANIZATION'S ASSETS, AND PREVENT SIMILAR INCIDENTS FROM OCCURRING IN THE FUTURE. CONTINUED ACTIONS ARE UNDERWAY TO FURTHER STRENGTHEN INTERNAL CONTROLS AND REGULARLY REVIEW FINANCIAL PRACTICES TO ENSURE THE INTEGRITY OF OPERATIONS. |
