Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Our primary mission is to catalyze a Justice-Led Circular Economy and in so doing to improve public heath. In 2020 we reached a break through with the wide publication of our multi--year research into the secondhand clothing trade and its impact on communities and the environment. Due to the global pandemic we also mobilized our community to support vulnerable essential workers within the secondhand clothing trade with direct food aid and hygienic supplies.

The Or Foundation operates to create alternatives to the dominate model of fashion.

Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990 PG 12, LINE 9 and line 31

“The OR Foundation is not including the income and expenses of its foreign subsidiary. At the time for filing the 2023 Form 990, the independent auditors had not concluded their examination of the foreign subsidiary activities. The organization does not believe this will significantly change the outcome of the Organization's filings for 2023. Once the information becomes available, the Organization intends to file an amended 2023 Form 990 to report the foreign subsidiary information. Form 990 PG 12, LINE 9 Adjustment for subsidiary not included: - $478,228”

Form 990 Pg 11 Line 10A, and 10B

“990. Pg 11, Line 10a $1470432 and b $29742 are removed due to exclusion of Ghana activities. Fixed assets reported in 2022 990 were located in Ghana. Please see footnote Form 990 Pg 12, Line 9.”

Form 990 Pg 12, Part XII Line 2B

“Audit is still in progress but no material change is expected per client.”

Form 990, Part V, Line 13A

“MD”

Form 990, Part XI, line 9:

“ADJUSTMENT FOR SUBSIDIARY NOT INCLUDED - see footnote Form 990 Pg 12, LN9 -478228.”

IRS990/Desc0Our Stop Waste Colonialism campaign has established a new precedent for Extended Producer Responsibility, one that does not simply offset the cost of waste management within a linear economy but rather that funds the transition to true circularity. Grounded in self-representation and extensive research, we are advocating for textile-based Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs across the world to be Globally Accountable. Our campaign centers around a policy paper with more than 10,000 endorsements.

IRS990/MissionDesc0The Or Foundation (pronounced or") stands for choice. Choice is agency agency to escape the predominant violent socio-economic system of corporate colonialism and to change it from within. Working at the intersection of environmental justice, education and fashion development, our mission is to identify and manifest alternatives to the dominant model of fashion alternatives that bring forth ecological prosperity, as opposed to destruction, and that inspire citizens to form a relationship with fashion that extends beyond their role as consumer.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0We organize citizen scientists to perform weekly beach monitoring reports, tracking textile tentacles across a seven kilometer swath of Accra's beaches. Building on these findings we conduct weekly water and air sampling analysis along with regular passive air pollution monitoring in order to track the flow of waste pollution across the coastal environment. Through our first-of-its-kind solar powered research vessel, we will soon expand this monitoring and mapping effort off of the coastline and into the Gulf of Guinea.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0We operate a paid apprenticeship program for young women leaving the dangerous job of head carrying secondhand clothing, which includes healthcare and education. We provide emergency relief for members of the secondhand clothing market in Ghana who encounter crisis. We install and maintain fire extinguishers across the market and operate long-range business transformation classes to bolster financial literacy skills. In addition we conduct weekly beach cleanups and perform material research and development to transform waste into new products and economic livelihoods.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The OR Foundation is not including the income and expenses of its foreign subsidiary. At the time for filing the 2023 Form 990, the independent auditors had not concluded their examination of the foreign subsidiary activities. The organization does not believe this will significantly change the outcome of the Organization's filings for 2023. Once the information becomes available, the Organization intends to file an amended 2023 Form 990 to report the foreign subsidiary information. Form 990 PG 12, LINE 9 Adjustment for subsidiary not included: - $478,228
