Democratic Republic of the CongoThe Fossey Fund protects critically endangered Grauer's gorillas through managing a community conservation forest called Nkuba. In 2022, the Fossey Fund announced a 50% increase in Nkuba to more than 600,000 acres of primary forest, which includes at least 9 globally threatened large mammals, including Grauer's gorillas and eastern chimpanzees. Hunting remains a significant threat to wildlife, as shown by the more than 2,000 snares that were removed by Fossey Fund staff. To help lessen the communities' dependence on the forest for food and income, the Organization focuses on food security and livelihood initiatives, including fish farming, vegetable gardens, honey production and sewing training with a particular focus on empowering women. In addition, the Fossey Fund focused on educational outreach, delivering conservation content in primary schools, paying the annual school fees for more than 500 children, delivering conservation messaging through radio programs and providing literary training for women. The Organization also supports the training of early-career Congolese scientists through internships onsite at Nkuba and teaching courses in local universities.
Expenses $2,221,367

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.
