Form 990 for tax year 2022

Filed by SACRAMENTO TREE FOUNDATION INCORPORATED.

What the amendment changed

Compared with the return it replaced , filed 19 April 2024. matched by us Only the return's totals, a 990-PF's accounting method and the names listed in Part VII (Part VIII on a 990-PF) are compared. We relate returns by organization, tax year and form, and order them by each return's own timestamp; the filer's own "amended return" checkbox is a separate fact.

Those are the same on the two returns, so the amendment changed something else.

WE INVEST IN OUR URBAN FOREST BECAUSE WE FULLY APPRECIATE THE VALUE IT BRINGS: PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELLNESS, ECOLOGICAL INTEGRITY, MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS, AND A RENEWED SENSE OF PLACE. WECELEBRATE A PERSON THAT PLANTS A TREE, A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT CARES FOR A FOREST, AND A REGION THAT ENSURES A THRIVING CANOPY-NOW AND FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.

  • URBAN WOOD RESCUE:URBAN WOOD RESCUE: IN FY 2023 URBAN WOOD RESCUE OFFICIALLY OPENED FOR BUSINESS. HISTORICALLY THE URBAN TREES IN SACRAMENTO THAT WERE CUT DOWN WERE SENT TO THE DUMP, CHIPPED INTO MULCH, OR CUT INTO FIREWOOD. URBAN WOOD RESCUE ACTIVELY DIVERTS THESE BEAUTIFUL TREES FROM THE LANDFILL AND CONVERTS THEM INTO USABLE LUMBER SO THEY CAN CONTINUE PROVIDING BEAUTY AND BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY. SALVAGING AND REPURPOSING THIS WOOD ADDS A NEW DIMENSION TO SACRAMENTO\'S LEGACY AS THE CITY OF TREES AND GIVES A SECOND LIFE TO OUR TREES. CARBON SEQUESTRATION IS AN IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION IN MITIGATING CLIMATE CHANGE, BY TURNING THIS VALUABLE WOOD INTO USEABLE LUMBER, THAT CARBON CAN BE CAPTURED FOR MANY GENERATIONS WHILE ALSO UTILIZING A LOCAL RESOURCE THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BECOME TRASH. ALL PROCEEDS OF WOOD SALES SUPPORT THE WORK OF THE SACRAMENTO TREE FOUNDATION - EVERY PURCHASE HELPS US ACHIEVE OUR MISSION.
