Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Sustainable jersey's mission is to empower new jersey communities to build a better world for future generations with the tools, training, technical assistance, and financial incentives necessary to pursue critical sustainability initiatives.

Sustainable jersey's mission is to empower new jersey communities to build a better world for future generations with the tools, training, and financial incentives necessary to pursue critical environmental, social, and economic initiatives. The organization supports a network and movement of municipalities and school districts working collectively to bring about a sustainable new jersey. Acting with state agencies, non-profit organizations, foundations, academia and industry, sustainable jersey researches best practices for what communities could and should do, creates detailed guidance called "actions", and assists municipal and school green teams as they work toward completing. Their efforts result in a prestigious municipal or school certification award when they have documented the specific actions they have accomplished in accordance with sustainable jersey program standards.

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization follows standards that provide clarification on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the organization's financial statements. The guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, disclosure and transition. The organization's policy is to recognize interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. No interest and penalties were recorded during the fiscal years ended june 30, 2021 and 2020. At june 30, 2021 and 2020, there are no significant income tax uncertainties.”

IRS990/Desc0MUNICIPAL CERTIFICATION PROGRAM: SUSTAINABLE JERSEY BEGAN IN 2009 AS A FREE MUNICIPAL CERTIFICATION PROGRAM FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT THAT IDENTIFIES SPECIFIC ACTIONS COMMUNITIES CAN TAKE TO GO GREEN, SAVE MONEY, AND SUSTAIN THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE OVER THE LONG TERM. MUNICIPALITIES CAN IMPLEMENT THE ACTIONS AND DOCUMENT THEIR PROGRESS TO RECEIVE POINTS TOWARD CERTIFICATION. THE STANDARDS ARE ACCOMPANIED BY A ROBUST PROGRAM OF TRAINING AND SUPPORT, AND A SUITE OF FINANCIAL INCENTIVES PROVIDED BY BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SOURCES. BY THE END OF CY2021, 461 NEW JERSEY MUNICIPALITIES (81% OF THE STATE) WERE REGISTERED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM AND WERE WORKING TO IMPLEMENT SUSTAINABILITY MEASURES WITH 225 CERTIFIED. COLLECTIVELY, CERTIFIED COMMUNITIES HAVE DOCUMENTED 14,000 ACTIONS ADDRESSING THE MOST PRESSING ISSUES SUCH AS CLIMATE CHANGE, UNSUSTAINABLE LAND USE, DECLINING LOCAL ECONOMIES, EXPOSURE TO ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS, NATURAL RESOURCE PROTECTION, DIVERSITY AND EQUITY, POPULATION HEALTH, AND MANY OTHERS. IN ADDITION, THESE COMMUNITIES HAVE FORMED HUNDREDS OF GREEN TEAMS OR SUSTAINABILITY COMMISSIONS THAT ARE FORMAL BODIES OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT CHARGED WITH IMPLEMENTING SUSTAINABLE JERSEY ACTIONS. SUSTAINABLE JERSEY ACTIONS ARE RESEARCHED AND DEVELOPED BY ISSUE-BASED TASK FORCES COMPRISED OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM ACADEMIA, THE NON-PROFIT SECTOR, THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, AND FEDERAL, STATE, COUNTY, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. SUSTAINABLE JERSEY LEADS THESE GROUPS AS THEY RESEARCH AND DISSEMINATE BEST PRACTICES, TRANSLATE GLOBAL AND STATE IMPERATIVES INTO LOCAL ACTIONS, TEST SUSTAINABILITY PLANNING MODELS AND DEVELOP COMMUNITY RESOURCES FOR THE PROGRAM. IN FY2021, SUSTAINABLE JERSEY EXPANDED THE PROGRAM TO ENCOURAGE CERTIFIED TOWNS TO ACHIEVE HIGHER LEVELS OF PERFORMANCE IN KEY DIMENSIONS OF SUSTAINABILITY. GOLD STARS ARE AWARDED ONE DIMENSION OF SUSTAINABILITY AT A TIME. MUNICIPALITIES CAN CURRENTLY EARN GOLD STARS IN ENERGY, WATER AND HEALTH. SCHOOL CERTIFICATION PROGRAM: IN 2014, SUSTAINABLE JERSEY AND LEADING NEW JERSEY SCHOOL-FOCUSED ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE NEW JERSEY SCHOOL BOARDS ASSOCIATION AND THE NEW JERSEY EDUCATION ASSOCIATION LAUNCHED SUSTAINABLE JERSEY FOR SCHOOLS. MODELED OFF THE SUSTAINABLE JERSEY MUNICIPAL PROGRAM, SUSTAINABLE JERSEY FOR SCHOOLS IS A FREE, VOLUNTARY CERTIFICATION PROGRAM FOR NEW JERSEY PRE-KINDERGARTEN THROUGH TWELFTH-GRADE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES GUIDANCE, SUPPORT, AND RECOGNITION TO SCHOOLS THAT IMPLEMENT STEPS TO BE MORE SUSTAINABLE IN THEIR OPERATIONS AND PROACTIVE IN PREPARING STUDENTS FOR THE CHALLENGES THEY WILL FACE IN THE FUTURE. ISSUES SUCH AS WATER SCARCITY, CLIMATE CHANGE, RACISM AND ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION REQUIRE BROAD-BASED SUSTAINABILITY LITERACY TO ENSURE THAT YOUNG PEOPLE ARE EQUIPPED TO RECOGNIZE AND RESPOND TO CRITICAL ISSUES NOW AND IN THEIR CHOSEN CAREERS. SUSTAINABLE JERSEY PARTICIPATING SCHOOLS SERVE AS LEARNING LABS FOR THESE ISSUES AND THE CERTIFICATION PROGRAM SUPPORTS EDUCATORS BY IDENTIFYING AUTHENTIC LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF. TO SUPPORT SCHOOLS IN MEETING THE CHALLENGES OF DIGITAL LEARNING TWELVE DIGITAL SCHOOLS ACTIONS WERE ADDED TO THE SUSTAINABLE JERSEY FOR SCHOOLS CERTIFICATION PROGRAM ACROSS THREE NEW ACTION CATEGORIES, AND THE EXISTING STUDENT LEARNING AND SCHOOL CULTURE AND CLIMATE ACTIONS WERE UPDATED TO ADDRESS REMOTE AND DIGITAL LEARNING. IN ADDITION, A DIGITAL SCHOOLS STAR RECOGNITION PROGRAM WAS CREATED FOR SCHOOLS THAT EXCEL IN THIS AREA. THIS INITIATIVE UNDERTAKEN IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND THE NEW JERSEY SCHOOL BOARDS ASSOCIATION AND ENDORSED BY NEW JERSEY LEADERSHIP FOR EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE. AS OF THE END OF CY2021, OVER 64% ON NEW JERSEY PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT ARE PARTICIPATING IN SUSTAINABLE JERSEY FOR SCHOOLS, 335 SCHOOLS ARE CURRENTLY CERTIFIED, AND 37 SCHOOLS RECEIVED DIGITAL SCHOOLS STAR RECOGNITION. COLLECTIVELY, THESE SCHOOLS HAVE SUCCESSFULLY DOCUMENTED OVER 7,000 ACTIONS
