Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part III, Line 4D: Other Program Services Description

OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Water LA Parkway Basin Project: Partnering with the County of Los Angeles to site, design, implement, monitor, and steward 30 Parkway Basins in the disadvantaged and climate-vulnerable communities of Florence-Firestone, Los Nietos, and Basset. During this period, The River Project completed in-situ monitoring, produced the project monitoring report, and supported ongoing community stewardship. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: The River Project served as Fiscal Sponsor for two initiatives funded by the Climate Emergency Fund and the Eileen Getty Foundation. The first for the development of creative and visual assets for nonviolent climate actions in Los Angeles, and the second for the development of a digital application to support a platform for mutual aid and regenerative climate actions connecting the global north to those in the global south. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Studio City Greenway: The River Project continued to maintain relationships with stakeholders while awaiting certain deliverables from the City. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: Feasibility Study for Restoration of the Los Angeles River and Tributaries through Sepulveda Basin: With a grant from the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, The River Project continued development of a study to explore the technical feasibility of restoring hydrodynamic and ecosystem function to the waterways within the Sepulveda Flood Control Basin in the San Fernando Valley. The River Project held a community design charrette, engaged a wide variety of stakeholders, and led the project team through an analysis of existing conditions, hydraulic model development, and conceptual landscape design development.
