P<strong>re</strong>sident’s Message<br />
“Things should sta<strong>rt</strong> to get inte<strong>re</strong>sting right about now”<br />
When <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h finished 2005, we had just hi<strong>re</strong>d our first pa<strong>rt</strong>-time, paid employee and we<strong>re</strong> p<strong>re</strong>paring to file<br />
our first litigation case a full year ahead of schedule. 2006 picked up whe<strong>re</strong> 2005 left off and again, <strong>the</strong> organization<br />
experienced t<strong>re</strong>mendous growth and gained national c<strong>re</strong>dibility. Whe<strong>the</strong>r it was <strong>the</strong> number of projects on which we<br />
worked, <strong>the</strong> number of volunteers engaged, <strong>the</strong> amount of money raised, <strong>the</strong> number of events worked, <strong>the</strong> grants<br />
for which we applied, <strong>the</strong> tours on which we traveled or <strong>the</strong> profile of <strong>the</strong> a<strong>rt</strong>ists with whom we collaborated – all<br />
expectations we<strong>re</strong> exceeded. As was <strong>the</strong> case in 2005, this mercurial growth continues to spring from <strong>the</strong> hard work,<br />
perseverance and generosity of our nearly (but no longer enti<strong>re</strong>ly) volunteer Board and Staff. Some of <strong>the</strong> highlights<br />
contained within this 2006 Annual Repo<strong>rt</strong> a<strong>re</strong>:<br />
• <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h now has over 1650 members in all 50 states, mo<strong>re</strong> than doubling (for <strong>the</strong> third consecutive year)<br />
our 2005 membership. Over 11,000 people a<strong>re</strong> now on our mailing list.<br />
• Nearly 62% of our members and <strong>the</strong> people on our mailing list have voluntee<strong>re</strong>d to assist <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h in some<br />
way – from helping us out by tabling conce<strong>rt</strong>s and festivals, to providing legal or technical assistance, to grant<br />
writing or helping us with publicity.<br />
• <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h volunteers have logged mo<strong>re</strong> than 10,000 hours.<br />
• <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h had a p<strong>re</strong>sence at 162 conce<strong>rt</strong> dates throughout <strong>the</strong> United States in 2006, and had a full-time<br />
team that traversed <strong>the</strong> country for 18 weeks between May and September.<br />
• Over 100 unpaid volunteers worked <strong>the</strong>se conce<strong>rt</strong> and festival events in 2006.<br />
• In 2006, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h raised over $102,000 from memberships, sponsorships, donations, grants and auctions<br />
– a 40% inc<strong>re</strong>ase over 2005!<br />
• With financial suppo<strong>rt</strong> from <strong>the</strong> Rex Foundation and <strong>the</strong> Fund for Wild Natu<strong>re</strong>, in March of 2006, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Ea<strong>rt</strong>h brought its first litigation matter – a lawsuit against <strong>the</strong> United States National Park Service for <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
mismanagement of a st<strong>re</strong>tch of Colorado River that flows through Grand Canyon National Park.<br />
• <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h successfully “g<strong>re</strong>ened” its first festival – Jam Cruise. With <strong>the</strong> suppo<strong>rt</strong> of festival promoters,<br />
<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h pa<strong>rt</strong>ne<strong>re</strong>d with g<strong>re</strong>en businesses, a<strong>rt</strong>ists and ano<strong>the</strong>r nonprofit to <strong>re</strong>duce <strong>the</strong> environmental<br />
impact of <strong>the</strong> festival, educate and activate attendees on environmental issues, and offset <strong>the</strong> carbon emissions<br />
from <strong>the</strong> ship with t<strong>re</strong>es planted in Jamaica and on <strong>the</strong> Yucatan peninsula.<br />
• <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h’s volunteer legal and technical Staff <strong>re</strong>viewed and/or worked on 16 separate, substantive issues<br />
and projects brought to our attention by folks in <strong>the</strong> music community.<br />
• As 2006 came to a close, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h, in collaboration with conservation groups in Hawaii, we<strong>re</strong> p<strong>re</strong>paring<br />
to legally challenge eco-prospecting permits issued for <strong>the</strong> new National Marine Monument off <strong>the</strong> No<strong>rt</strong>hwest<br />
Hawaiian Islands.<br />
• 2006 marked a turning point in which <strong>the</strong> media began to take note of <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h. During <strong>the</strong> second half of<br />
2006, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h was featu<strong>re</strong>d in major national and international publications including USA Today, The<br />
Christian Science Monitor, The Chronicle of Philanthropy and Q Magazine.
2006<br />
• The music industry and mo<strong>re</strong>-high profile a<strong>rt</strong>ists continued to embrace <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h in 2006, leading us<br />
collaborate with, among o<strong>the</strong>rs, Bon Jovi, Bonnie Raitt, Allman Bro<strong>the</strong>rs Band, Dave Mat<strong>the</strong>ws<br />
Band, and <strong>the</strong> Bonnaroo Music Festival.<br />
• In 2006, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h not only continued to maintain a paid, pa<strong>rt</strong>-time Office Manager, but <strong>the</strong> organiza-<br />
tion also began to pay its full-time Executive Di<strong>re</strong>ctor a small salary. As 2006 d<strong>re</strong>w to a close, interviews<br />
we<strong>re</strong> being conducted to hi<strong>re</strong> <strong>the</strong> organization’s first paid Development Di<strong>re</strong>ctor (pa<strong>rt</strong>-time).<br />
As you can see above and throughout this Annual Repo<strong>rt</strong>, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h continues to grow at an amazing<br />
rate. Thanks to <strong>the</strong> help of over 100 volunteers and pa<strong>rt</strong>nerships within <strong>the</strong> music, g<strong>re</strong>en business and<br />
environmental communities, in just two and a half year’s time, we have transformed this fledgling non-profit<br />
organization into a full-time environmental advocacy organization. <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h is not only now capable of<br />
activating and motivating <strong>the</strong> music community to take action on pa<strong>rt</strong>icular issues near and dear to <strong>the</strong>ir (and<br />
<strong>the</strong> a<strong>rt</strong>ists <strong>the</strong>y love) hea<strong>rt</strong>s, but <strong>the</strong> organization is positioned to firmly take legal steps to cor<strong>re</strong>ct corporate<br />
misfeasance and governmental malfeasance.<br />
Although <strong>the</strong> organization still continues to struggle in obtaining funding through <strong>the</strong> traditional philanthropic<br />
world in <strong>the</strong> form of grants, at <strong>the</strong> same time, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h’s volunteer grantwriters we<strong>re</strong> able to<br />
submit an unp<strong>re</strong>cedented number of proposals to various foundations and corporate entities for significant<br />
funding (several of which <strong>re</strong>main outstanding as of <strong>the</strong> close of 2006). In <strong>the</strong> end, however, it was <strong>the</strong> continued<br />
growth of grassroots suppo<strong>rt</strong> for <strong>the</strong> organization from <strong>the</strong> music community (primarily fans/members,<br />
a<strong>rt</strong>ists and festivals), that enabled <strong>the</strong> organization to grow and to <strong>re</strong>ach new heights. With <strong>the</strong> addition of<br />
a paid, pa<strong>rt</strong>-time Development Di<strong>re</strong>ctor in 2007, it is our belief that we can maintain (or exceed) this pace<br />
of growth by continuing to pursue non-traditional sources of funding via c<strong>re</strong>ative corporate pa<strong>rt</strong>nerships and<br />
special events.<br />
As 2006 came to a close, all of us involved in <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h a<strong>re</strong> t<strong>re</strong>mendously excited and optimistic.<br />
We continue to make inroads with new and varied a<strong>rt</strong>ists of all gen<strong>re</strong>s of music. 2006 saw us working with<br />
several of <strong>the</strong> biggest names in <strong>Rock</strong> ’n Roll, highlighted by <strong>the</strong> unsolicted invitation by Bon Jovi’s management<br />
to be pa<strong>rt</strong> of <strong>the</strong>ir stadium tour. Our exposu<strong>re</strong> at music festivals similarly <strong>re</strong>ached new heights, in which<br />
we played a major pa<strong>rt</strong> in programming <strong>the</strong> Solar Stage at Bonnaroo (<strong>the</strong> largest music festival in <strong>the</strong> country),<br />
highlighted by a 45-minute one-one-one interview with <strong>Rock</strong> Legend Bonnie Raitt.<br />
Just as we continue to look for oppo<strong>rt</strong>unities to work with a variety of a<strong>rt</strong>ists and to cultivate those <strong>re</strong>lationships,<br />
we will continue to harness that collaborative energy, putting it back into quality and effective legal<br />
work to hold polluters <strong>re</strong>sponsible, <strong>the</strong> government accountable, and to c<strong>re</strong>ate a mo<strong>re</strong> sustainable and healthy<br />
planet for ourselves and futu<strong>re</strong> generations. In 2006, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h made major steps towards our goal of<br />
becoming <strong>the</strong> p<strong>re</strong>eminent environmental group to work with <strong>the</strong> music community. We thank you for<br />
your suppo<strong>rt</strong> and hope that you will continue to join with us in 2007.<br />

Environmental Accomplishments<br />
On a number of levels, 2006 marked a turning point in <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h’s environmental advocacy and educational<br />
projects. Thanks to <strong>the</strong> suppo<strong>rt</strong> of <strong>the</strong> Rex Foundation (<strong>the</strong> philanthropic arm of <strong>the</strong> Grateful Dead), we we<strong>re</strong> able<br />
to file our first lawsuit--a year ahead of schedule. In addition, <strong>the</strong> music community embraced <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h by<br />
inviting us to conduct environmental education at Bonnaroo, one of <strong>the</strong> largest festivals in <strong>the</strong> United States. We<br />
also ran an environmental education/action program on Jam Cruise, which <strong>re</strong>sulted in significant and measurable<br />
environmental outcomes. All <strong>the</strong> while, our legal and technical team continued to move several new issues ahead,<br />
while continuing to <strong>re</strong>search and investigate o<strong>the</strong>r issues brought to us by <strong>the</strong> music community.<br />
• January 2006: <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h implemented G<strong>re</strong>ening Jam Cruise, an environmental education and action<br />
program on Jam Cruise 4, to <strong>re</strong>duce <strong>the</strong> environmental impacts from a music festival on a cruise ship. Consider<br />
<strong>the</strong> following accomplishments as a di<strong>re</strong>ct <strong>re</strong>sult of <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h’s “G<strong>re</strong>ening Jam Cruise Program”:<br />
- RtE planted 52,000 t<strong>re</strong>es in Jamaica and on <strong>the</strong> Yucatan Peninsula to offset <strong>the</strong> emissions caused by Jam<br />
Cruise 4;<br />
- RtE dive<strong>rt</strong>ed nearly 11 tons of glass, aluminum and steel to <strong>re</strong>cycling facilities;<br />
- RtE implemented a towel and linen <strong>re</strong>use program;<br />
- RtE contracted with multiple g<strong>re</strong>en sponsors to bring environmentally-friendly products on board, including<br />
biodegradable/non-toxic soap, shampoo and lotion, organic coffee, c<strong>re</strong>amer, milk, yerba mate and snack bars;<br />
- RtE hosted a private, educational event on Social Change Through Music, moderated by RtE Executive Di<strong>re</strong>ctor<br />
Marc Ross and featuring Victor Wooten and Roy “Futu<strong>re</strong>man” Wooten (Flecktones), Michael Travis<br />
(String Cheese Incident), Matt Butler (Everyone Orchestra), David Weismann (Musical Ea<strong>rt</strong>h), Bo Carper<br />
and Jeff Miller (New Monsoon);<br />
- RtE counseled Jam Cruise on environmentally-friendly/organic merchandise as well as securing 100% <strong>re</strong>cycled<br />
content paper for all production needs and signage.<br />
• March 2006: <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h filed suit against <strong>the</strong> National Park Service in Federal Cou<strong>rt</strong> in <strong>the</strong> District of<br />
Arizona <strong>re</strong>garding <strong>the</strong> Record of Decision for Colorado River Management Plan. Joining <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h in <strong>the</strong><br />
lawsuit we<strong>re</strong> River Runners for Wilderness, Living Rivers and Wilderness Watch.<br />
• June 2006: P<strong>re</strong>sident George W. Bush proclaimed <strong>the</strong> No<strong>rt</strong>hwest Hawaiian Islands a National Marine<br />
Monument under <strong>the</strong> Federal Antiquities Act, <strong>the</strong> most protective measu<strong>re</strong>s available under law. This P<strong>re</strong>sidential<br />
Proclamation came after nearly a year of <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h’s advocacy, education and activation of <strong>the</strong> music<br />
community to protect this p<strong>re</strong>cious ecosystem; this work was pa<strong>rt</strong>ially funded by Jack Johnson.<br />
• June 2006: At <strong>the</strong> Bonnaroo Music & A<strong>rt</strong>s Festival, <strong>the</strong> largest music festival in <strong>the</strong> United States, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Ea<strong>rt</strong>h hosted daily environmental panels and interviews on <strong>the</strong> Solar Stage featuring John Medeski (MMW),<br />
Marc Brownstein (Disco Biscuits), Justin Baker (Conscious Alliance), Liz Berlin<br />
(Rusted Root), Aaron Redner and Zac Mat<strong>the</strong>ws (Hot Butte<strong>re</strong>d Rum), Anna Borofsky<br />
(Clean Vibes), Andy Bernstein (Headcount), Victor Wooten and Futu<strong>re</strong>man (Bela Fleck<br />
& <strong>the</strong> Flecktones), B<strong>re</strong>ndan Bayliss (Umph<strong>re</strong>y’s McGee) and Grady O’Shaughnesey<br />
(Clif Bar). The weekend was highlighted by a one-on-one interview on <strong>the</strong> Solar Stage<br />
between RtE Executive Di<strong>re</strong>ctor Marc Ross and rock legend Bonnie Raitt.<br />
• September 2006: At <strong>the</strong> suggestion of Hot Butte<strong>re</strong>d Rum String Band, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Ea<strong>rt</strong>h submitted scoping comments to <strong>the</strong> National Park Service <strong>re</strong>garding <strong>the</strong> Wild<br />
& Scenic designation for <strong>the</strong> Tuolumne River in No<strong>rt</strong>hern California. In its comments,<br />
<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h urged <strong>the</strong> Park Service to seriously consider <strong>the</strong> decommissioning of <strong>the</strong><br />
O’Shaughnessy Dam and <strong>re</strong>storing <strong>the</strong> Hetch Hetchy Valley.<br />
• October 2006: <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h petitioned <strong>the</strong> Depa<strong>rt</strong>ment of <strong>the</strong> Interior, Bu<strong>re</strong>au of Land<br />
Management to <strong>re</strong>vise its proposed management plan for Colorado’s Roan Plateau. The<br />
proposed plan prioritizes oil and gas development above all o<strong>the</strong>r land uses, and permits<br />
drilling in <strong>the</strong> environmentally sensitive a<strong>re</strong>as on top of <strong>the</strong> plateau. In <strong>the</strong> petition, <strong>Rock</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h provided documentation proving that feasible drilling technologies a<strong>re</strong> available<br />
today that will allow for protection of all wilderness quality a<strong>re</strong>as in <strong>the</strong> planning a<strong>re</strong>a,<br />
while allowing for <strong>the</strong> same level of <strong>re</strong>source production proposed in <strong>the</strong> cur<strong>re</strong>nt plan.
2006<br />
• November 2006: Despite th<strong>re</strong>e years of formal protests by groups that included <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h, in<br />
November <strong>the</strong> US Environmental Protection Agency issued a Final Rule allowing for <strong>the</strong> application of<br />
pesticides to waterways, without needing a Clean Water Act permit. <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h commenced discussions<br />
with o<strong>the</strong>r environmental organizations to form a coalition to challenge this rulemaking in cou<strong>rt</strong>.<br />
• December 2006: <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h legal and technical staff commenced <strong>re</strong>view of a draft Environmental<br />
Impact Statement by <strong>the</strong> Depa<strong>rt</strong>ment of Defense to allow for <strong>the</strong> expansion of <strong>the</strong> Piñon Canyon Maneuver<br />
Site (PCMS), a large-scale US Army training facility in Sou<strong>the</strong>astern Colorado. The PCMS lands include<br />
undisturbed, pristine natural a<strong>re</strong>as with impo<strong>rt</strong>ant ecological, archaeological and historical value. It is our<br />
intent to file formal comments opposing <strong>the</strong> expansion in early 2007.<br />
• December 2006: <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h legal and technical staff commenced <strong>re</strong>view of a Draft Environmental<br />
Impact Statement by <strong>the</strong> National Park Service’s new long-term Winter Use Plan for Yellowstone and<br />
Grand Teton National Parks. At issue is <strong>the</strong> continued use of snowmobiles in <strong>the</strong> park units, which <strong>Rock</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h has opposed <strong>re</strong>peatedly since 2002. It is our intent to final formal comments to <strong>the</strong> DEIS when<br />
<strong>the</strong> public comment period commences in <strong>the</strong> Spring of 2007.<br />
In addition to <strong>the</strong> formal comment letters that we submitted in 2006, our legal and technical staff members<br />
<strong>re</strong>viewed or monito<strong>re</strong>d <strong>the</strong> following issues:<br />
• <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h and <strong>the</strong> Hawaiian Conservation Alliance commenced <strong>re</strong>view of permits issued by state<br />
and federal authorities in <strong>the</strong> newly established National Marine Monument off <strong>the</strong> No<strong>rt</strong>hwest Hawaiian<br />
Islands. Many of <strong>the</strong>se permits allow for activities specifically banned by state and federal law<br />
• Non-compliant discharges from publicly-owned sewage facilities along <strong>the</strong> Chattahoochee River in <strong>the</strong><br />
Atlanta metropolitan a<strong>re</strong>a, an issue suggested to us by fans of Jack Johnson during our 2005 Summer<br />
Tour;<br />
• The declining water levels in <strong>the</strong> G<strong>re</strong>at Lakes, an issue suggested to us by Steven Page of <strong>the</strong> Ba<strong>re</strong>naked<br />
Ladies;<br />
• The construction of <strong>the</strong> Sevier Power Company’s coal-fi<strong>re</strong>d electric generation facility in sou<strong>the</strong>rn Utah, an<br />
issue suggested to us by <strong>the</strong> San Francisco band, Animal Liberation Orchestra (ALO);<br />
• Identification of large emitters of pollution in <strong>the</strong> San Joaquin Valley in California, an issue also suggested<br />
to us by ALO;<br />
• The disposal of nuclear waste on Native American lands, an issue suggested to us by Peter Rowan;<br />
• Various issues concerning development in <strong>the</strong> headwaters of, and wetlands tied to, <strong>the</strong> St. Johns River<br />
in no<strong>rt</strong>hern Florida, as well as large water diversions from <strong>the</strong> river, issues suggested by Debbie Trucks,<br />
mo<strong>the</strong>r of De<strong>re</strong>k Trucks and mo<strong>the</strong>r-in-law of Susan Tedeschi;<br />
• Proposed statutory and <strong>re</strong>gulatory changes to <strong>the</strong> National Environmental Policy Act.<br />
As we look to 2007, it becomes clear that we a<strong>re</strong> moving closer to our vision for <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h to become<br />
<strong>the</strong> p<strong>re</strong>-eminent environmental advocacy organization to work with <strong>the</strong> music community. As we<br />
continue to prosecute our first case against <strong>the</strong> National Park Service over <strong>the</strong> Colorado River Management<br />
Plan, we a<strong>re</strong> al<strong>re</strong>ady looking towards potential litigation to challenge eco-prospectors in <strong>the</strong> NW Hawaiian<br />
Islands, snowmobiles in Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks, communities applying pesticides to<br />
waterways without permits <strong>re</strong>qui<strong>re</strong>d by <strong>the</strong> Clean Water Act, and inadequate studies for <strong>the</strong> expansion of <strong>the</strong><br />
Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site.<br />
In addition, we will continue to investigate <strong>the</strong> issues listed above as well as continue to solicit new<br />
issues from <strong>the</strong> music community. As we begin campaigns on various issues, we will seek to elevate <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
impo<strong>rt</strong>ance to <strong>the</strong> public by <strong>re</strong>aching out to members of <strong>the</strong> music industry to assist us in publicity and<br />
fundraising effo<strong>rt</strong>s.<br />

Membership & Out<strong>re</strong>ach Accomplishments<br />
In 2006, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h volunteers worked thousands of hours at events around <strong>the</strong> country, to make our third year of<br />
membership and out<strong>re</strong>ach mo<strong>re</strong> successful than we could have imagined. Public education and out<strong>re</strong>ach about <strong>the</strong><br />
projects on which we a<strong>re</strong> working is our primary means of garnering suppo<strong>rt</strong> for RtE’s environmental projects that a<strong>re</strong><br />
of critical significance today. Our p<strong>re</strong>sence at music events engages musicians and <strong>the</strong> music community as a whole<br />
to become educated, active and involved in protecting our natural <strong>re</strong>sources across <strong>the</strong> country for <strong>the</strong> enjoyment of<br />
futu<strong>re</strong> generations.<br />

annual <strong>re</strong>po<strong>rt</strong>
Financial Repo<strong>rt</strong><br />
<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h (RtE) continued to make prog<strong>re</strong>ss in its third year as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization.<br />
As a <strong>re</strong>sult of <strong>the</strong> generosity of our inc<strong>re</strong>asing base of existing and new members, donors, grantors, musicians, and<br />
corporate contributors, we ended <strong>the</strong> year in a position poised to inc<strong>re</strong>ase our focus on environmental litigation and<br />
<strong>the</strong> championing of impo<strong>rt</strong>ant environmental issues as well as embarking on a significant capacity building campaign.<br />
The Colorado River litigation and o<strong>the</strong>r environmental issue pursuits will engage significant po<strong>rt</strong>ions of our <strong>re</strong>sources<br />
in <strong>the</strong> upcoming year. Our commitment to this and o<strong>the</strong>r issues has enabled our organization to attract members as<br />
<strong>re</strong>flected in <strong>the</strong> inc<strong>re</strong>ase in membership and auction <strong>re</strong>venue, and corporate and private donors who a<strong>re</strong> inte<strong>re</strong>sted in<br />
contributing toward <strong>the</strong> mission-focused activities in which <strong>the</strong> organization engages and will play a vital role in <strong>the</strong><br />
organizations continued growth and vitality in <strong>the</strong> upcoming years.<br />
During <strong>the</strong> year, RtE began, for <strong>the</strong> first time in its history, to pay a pa<strong>rt</strong>-time staff person as well as <strong>the</strong> Executive<br />
Di<strong>re</strong>ctor. The organization will continue its capacity building goal in <strong>the</strong> upcoming year by employing a pa<strong>rt</strong> time Development<br />
Di<strong>re</strong>ctor to move <strong>the</strong> organization even closer to its financial and fundraising goals, necessary to inc<strong>re</strong>ase<br />
<strong>the</strong> program and education services that <strong>the</strong> organization provides. The addition of <strong>the</strong>se paid positions will utilize a<br />
fair po<strong>rt</strong>ion of <strong>the</strong> organizations <strong>re</strong>sources in <strong>the</strong> near futu<strong>re</strong>.<br />
In 2006, RtE raised mo<strong>re</strong> than $102,000 in total income, approximately a 40% inc<strong>re</strong>ase over <strong>the</strong> p<strong>re</strong>vious year,<br />
primarily through inc<strong>re</strong>ases in auction <strong>re</strong>venue, membership dues, and donations. This is a significant inc<strong>re</strong>ase in<br />
<strong>re</strong>venue from <strong>the</strong> p<strong>re</strong>vious year which will enable <strong>the</strong> organization to focus our effo<strong>rt</strong>s on our co<strong>re</strong> mission activities<br />
and fund our new paid leadership and staff positions. The organization continues to improve its fundraising effo<strong>rt</strong>s<br />
through enhanced <strong>re</strong>lationships with musicians and <strong>the</strong><br />
music industry, g<strong>re</strong>en and sustainable businesses and<br />
corporate donors, grantors, and special pa<strong>rt</strong>nerships and<br />
events that c<strong>re</strong>atively engage our membership, private<br />
donors, and <strong>the</strong> community in general.<br />
The majority of <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h’s expenses included Membership<br />
and Out<strong>re</strong>ach and Program Services with a focus<br />
on education of <strong>the</strong> public and our members on <strong>the</strong> various<br />
environmental issues that <strong>the</strong> music industry and our<br />
organization feel strongly about. The inc<strong>re</strong>ase in Education<br />
<strong>re</strong>lated expenses, which di<strong>re</strong>ctly contribute toward<br />
<strong>the</strong> fulfillment of <strong>the</strong> organization’s mission, inc<strong>re</strong>ased<br />
dramatically from <strong>the</strong> p<strong>re</strong>vious year.<br />
In addition, this was <strong>the</strong> first year that <strong>the</strong> organization<br />
incur<strong>re</strong>d expenses <strong>re</strong>lated to <strong>the</strong> litigation of environmental<br />
issues, most specifically <strong>the</strong> Colorado River Management<br />
Plan. The<strong>re</strong> was a small Net Loss for <strong>the</strong> year as a
2006<br />
<strong>re</strong>sult of incurring capacity building expenses that we<strong>re</strong> expected to be offset by grant<br />
<strong>re</strong>venue, which was less than anticipated. The addition of a Development Di<strong>re</strong>ctor will<br />
inc<strong>re</strong>ase <strong>the</strong> <strong>re</strong>liability of <strong>the</strong> various <strong>re</strong>venue st<strong>re</strong>ams in <strong>the</strong> upcoming year.<br />
<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h ended <strong>the</strong> year with approximately $26,000 in <strong>the</strong> bank, a small<br />
dec<strong>re</strong>ase from <strong>the</strong> p<strong>re</strong>vious year.<br />
The success that <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h continues to enjoy in its third year as a nonprofit organization<br />
highlights <strong>the</strong> continued sacrifices and hard work that <strong>the</strong> volunteer and paid<br />
staff, leadership positions, Board and Advisory Board members have made to ensu<strong>re</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> organization’s continued success and <strong>the</strong> committed and generous membership<br />
base, both of which continue to sustain <strong>the</strong> organization financially and o<strong>the</strong>rwise.<br />
