Rising Above 2020–2021 Annual Report Thank You for Your Support

Dear Supporters,

IN MARCH 2020, we were in the process of wrapping up a hugely successful fiscal year. Our fiscal year runs from April 1st through March 31st. And then, “Bam!” the pandemic hit. So within that first quarter of the new fiscal year that started on April 1, 2020, we were faced with a very bleak picture: a raging global pandemic; social and political unrest; soaring rates of unemployment and loads of businesses going out of Edward Sortwell Clement, Jr. business; growing rates of depression; etc. How in the world were we going to meet our programmatic and revenue goals in this newly started fiscal year and stay afloat let alone thrive? We made some critical and strategic decisions early on that helped us not only stay afloat but thrive—decisions like the following: we immediately announced a team approach with a goal of maintaining all of our staff positions; we immediately empha- sized the importance of maintaining our positive and grateful organizational culture; we looked for new ways to serve our communities like our weekly lighting of the Mount Diablo Beacon during the pandemic and our new Nature Heals and Inspires Zoom series—both of which started in April 2020; and we also did a lot of careful financial planning. Our April 1, 2020–March 31, 2021 fiscal year was recently completed and the results, as outlined in this Annual Report, were incredibly bright despite a fiscal year with much darkness in a national crisis and pandemic period: • We substantially delivered on our Strategic Plan and programmatic goals; • We maintained all of our staff positions; • We completed the fiscal year deep in the black; • We raised substantial resources for our Forever Wild Campaign so we only have about $333,000 left to raise to complete this $15 million capital campaign; and • We grew and stewarded our reserves well so that we entered the new fiscal year in April 2021 with a solid financial foundation. You helped make this incredible success and momentum for our land conservation mission possible. We cannot thank you enough!

With Gratitude,

UNDERSTANDING THAT NATURE is the ultimate foundation for our long- term health and well-being, in April 2020 we developed and launched a free public education Zoom series entitled Nature Heals and Inspires to help our communities understand that nature is a critical part of the Light from the solution to working through the historically challenging times we were faced with. Mountaintop Beyond the documented health and psychological benefits of spend- ing time in nature, going outside will also help address one of the most ONE OF THE BRIGHT LIGHTS provided to serious environmental problems facing our planet.

Executive Director, stated, “We lit the Mount Diablo Beacon to thank our heroes, to honor those who had passed and were suffering, to bring our communities together, and to remind people to look up to the light and the healing power of nature.” “I want to thank two special Save Mount Diablo volunteers,” he said, “John Gallagher and Dick Heron, who helped me with this year-long effort.” Although Save Mount Diablo concluded its weekly Beacon lightings in response to the pandemic, the organization will con- tinue its regular care and maintenance of the historic “Eye of Diablo” as it has done for years. Further, Save Mount Diablo, California State Parks, the Sons and Daughters of Pearl Harbor Survivors Chapter 5, and California State University—East Bay will continue to organize the annual lighting ceremony of the Beacon every December 7th in honor of National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.
