Mission

Bat Conservation and Rehabilitation

  • Bat World Sanctuary is dedicated to the care, rehabilitation and release of injured bats as well as a sanctuary for non-releasable bats. This year we saved over 1044 bats nationally and internationally. We also discovered a cure for wing wasting disease and made it available and affordable to bat rehabilitators.

    Expenses $586,418 · Grants $38,563 · Revenue $642,350

  • As the only accredited sanctuary for bats in the world, we continue to collaborate with US Fish and Wildlife Department on efforts to control White Nose Syndrome. We educated interns from across the USA. We continued collaborating with zoos, universities and government agencies in bat conservation efforts. We built a Learning Center that provides education events for schools, and training for biologists, rehabilitators, and animal control professionals. We used social media and our website to educate the public on the value of bats, reaching millions of people around the world with positive information about bats.

    Expenses $7,437 · Revenue $102,956

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.
