Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
To connect, equip, and mobilize people and organizations to care for land and water in their communities.
Activities or mission (Part I)
The Stewardship Networks mission is to connect, equip, and mobilize people and organizations to care for land and water in their communities. See Schedule O for additional information.
-
EQUIP Member Communities Program The Stewardship Network provides backbone support and technology systems to TSN Member Communities across the nation. Our approach builds inclusivity and diversity into land stewardship efforts and we fully embrace the unique supporting role we play in sparking change through these team efforts. In 2024, The Stewardship Network continued to refine and deliver a suite of support services to Member Communities, which include stewardship training and education coordinator support and leadership development event registration/communications structural technology support and communication services administrative, HR, and fiscal sponsorship services. In 2024, TSN grew its Gloves for Good program, which diverts lightly used work gloves out of the waste system, cleans them, and distributes them throughout our network. See Schedule O for further details.
Expenses $661,516 · Revenue $87,434

MOBILIZE Collaborative Stewardship Services The Stewardship Network was heavily involved in providing capacity support to several important collaborative stewardship projects, with partners across several states. These fiscally sponsored or grant-funded projects included Collaborating Well, California Landscape Stewardship Network, Duluth CISMA, Golden Gate Biosphere Network, Great Lakes Islands Alliance, Greater Baltimore Wilderness Coalition, and Above/Below. Additionally, we provided technical and backbone support for 30x30 Californias ongoing engagement activities including their Fall 2024 convening. Providing this type of support to the networks and projects that we work with solves an important infrastructural gap often encountered in our sector and allows collaboratives to take their work forward to solve on the ground stewardship challenges.
Expenses $389,266 · Revenue $28,205
-
CONNECT Learning Engagement Program The Stewardship Network has become an enormous nexus of relevant, specialized knowledge through decades of successful collaboration. While that hard-earned wisdom is leveraged all year long in service to our Member Communities, we continue to dedicate a meaningful portion of our energy to sharing these learnings with the widest audience possible. In 2024, these activities included TSN Conference 2024, TSN Spring Challenge, and TSN Monthly Webcasts. See Schedule O for further details.
Expenses $222,421 · Revenue $199,868
