Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

Our vision is a future where everyone benefits from a healthy San Francisco bay, resilient to climate change and ringed by 100,000 acres of vibrant tidal marsh.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Save the bay protects and restores San Francisco bay for people and wildlife through education, advocacy, and wetlands restoration.

  • Restore Bay HabitatWe restore tidal marsh transition zone habitat to nurture wildlife and protect communities from rising tides and climate change impacts. We boost public funding to accelerate bay restoration, and we create shoreline habitat through novel scientific techniques, mobilizing thousands of community volunteers to propagate native plants, install and maintain them to improve bay health and utilize nature for climate adaptation.

    Expenses $902,117 · Grants $11,000

  • Bay Smart CommunitiesWe advocate with many partners for the bay and its shoreline communities, so nature grows and people thrive here. We battle pollution and promote government policies to boost bay area resilience to climate change and reduce stormwater pollution, expanding green infrastructure that employs nature to provide multiple community benefits. We campaign for enforcement of laws that prohibit trash in the bay and destructive shoreline development, and for expansion of public access to the bay for everyone.

    Expenses $565,005 · Grants $3,545

  • Education and OutreachWe educate and mobilize the public, partners and policy-makers to be active leaders for bay protection and restoration, engaging thousands of supporters, students, business and community leaders in advocacy and volunteer activities. We educate thousands of students in science and stewardship on the shoreline with watershed curriculum and engaging "outdoor learning online" video lessons accessible to all. We lead the region's annual.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
