Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Civil Rights, Civil Rights, Social Action & Advocacy, Environment, Forest Conservation, International, International Development
Mission: COTAP's mission is to empower individuals and organizations in developed countries to fight both climate change and global poverty. COTAP counteracts your unavoidable carbon emissions through certified forestry projects which create life-changing income for vulnerable communities in Nicaragua, Mozambique, Uganda, and Malawi. COTAP doubles the number of reasons for Americans to get engaged on climate change, it transforms the climate change issue beyond that of a disempowering and single-dimension environmental problem, and it helps to restore the U.S.'s imperfect global image regarding climate change.
Results: In 2022, individuals and organizations offset 17,564.674 tonnes, raising $237,123.10 in funding for our partner projects in Nicaragua, Uganda, India, Fiji, Indonesia, and Mexico - creating at least $142,273.86 in income for participating communities. In 2022, COTAP paid out $251,896.50 to our partner projects in Nicaragua, Uganda, India, Fiji, Indonesia, and Mexico - creating at least $151,137.90 in income for participating communities. This included funds raised in 2021 but not yet paid out. In November 2022, COTAP visited the Khasi Hills Community REDD+ Project in Meghalaya, India and in January 2023 released a 20-minute documentary about the visit entitled "May The Forest Be With You | COTAP Visits The Khasi Hills": https://youtu.be/S2QveDNr.
