WE WERE ABLE TO HELP FUND FOUR ECO-CULTURAL RESILIENCE PROGRAMS MANAGED BY OUR PRIMARY MALAYSIAN PARTNER LEAP SPIRAL (LS, LEAPSPIRAL.ORG). WE FUNDED THEIR PANGOLIN RESCUE REHABILITATION & RELEASE (P3R, LEAPSPIRAL.ORG/SUNDAPANGOLINS) PROGRAM, THEIR LOWER KINABATANGAN & SEGAMA WETLANDS (LKSW, LEAPSPIRAL.ORG/LOWERKINABATANGANSEGAMAWETLANDSPROGRAMME) PROGRAM, THEIR CARBON SOVEREIGN SABAH (CSS) CLIMATE RESPONSIBILITY INITIATIVE, AND THEIR LONG RUNNING FORESTRY AND GREAT APE BIODIVERSITY HEALTH PROGRAMS.

WITH OUR 2022 FUNDING AND SUPPORT, OUR MALAYSIAN PARTNER FOREVER SABAH'S (FS, FOREVERSABAH.ORG) 25 YEAR INITIATIVE OF A CIVIL SOCIETY SUPPORTING SABAH'S TRANSITION TO A DIVERSIFIED, EQUITABLE, LIVING ECONOMY IS THRIVING. 100% OF OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY INCOME THROUGH US SUPPORTED FS'S ITERATIVE SUCCESS TRAINING MODEL FOR RAPID "LESSONS LEARNED" WISDOM INCORPORATION. WE GRANTED OTHER INCOME FOR FS'S HUMAN ELEPHANT HARMONY (HEH, FOREVERSABAH.ORG/HUMAN-ELEPHANT-HARMONY) THAT HELPED HEH'S CITIZEN SCIENCE AND COMMUNITY ELEPHANT RANGER TEAMS SETTLE INTO TARGETED DATA COLLECTION THAT CONTINUES TO GROW HUMAN ACCEPTANCE AND EVEN APPRECIATION OF WILD ELEPHANT NEIGHBORS. ALSO NEW DONATIONS WENT TO FS'S RICE REVITALIZATION PARTNERSHIP THAT HAS ENERGIZED A WIDE DEMOGRAPHIC TO PRODUCE DIVERSE LEGACY HIGH-VALUE RICE FOR LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL CONSUMPTION IN A VERTICALLY INTEGRATED COLLECTIVE BUSINESS MODEL THAT BOTH HARVESTS AND GROWS LOCAL LIVELIHOODS. OUR OWN MITIGATION AND STRATEGIC INNOVATION SALARY AND ZOOM COSTS FOR FS PROGRAMS IN THE FACE OF COVID-19 FINALIZED OUR BELOW FS SUPPORT EXPENSES.

SURPRISINGLY, IT WAS NOT NECESSARY TO SOLICIT DONATIONS FOR, OR GRANT SUPPORTING FUNDS DIRECTLY TO, THE KAMPONG CAMPUS FOR ECOLITERACY AND LEADERSHIP (KAMPONG). THE OUTSIDE-IN CLASSROOM MODEL HAS BOTH RAISED AND DEEPENED LEARNING ON A PLANETARY SCALE WITH OUR STAFF'S AND OTHERS' NETWORKING AND FACILITATION OF DEEPLY PRODUCTIVE MEETING SPACE THAT HAS INVARIABLY BREED COLLABORATION AND PEER WISDOM HARVESTING AMONG YOUTH-MINDED NEXT-GEN LEADERS. WE DID FUND EIGHT SAGE ELDERS AND SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS HONORARIUMS FOR KAMPONG'S CONTINUING ALTERNATE MONTHLY MOUNTAINTOP VERTICAL LITERACY AND VALLEY HORIZONTAL LITERACY GATHERINGS. INDIVIDUAL EPIPHANIES BORN FROM SUCH AN ENVIRONMENT ARE HELPING INSTITUTIONALIZE LEAP'S PROVEN PLANETARY APPROACH TO HUMAN DEVELOPMENT. OUR EXPENSES BELOW WERE JUST THE HONORARIUMS AND OUR APPORTIONED STAFFING COSTS WHICH SUPPORTED LOCALLY GROWN TALENT TAKING UP THE MANTLE OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND STEWARDSHIP.
