Activities or mission (Part I)
CWS, Inc., raises funds primarily in North America from individual, private, and government sources and finances wildlife conservation and related projects in the wildlife habitat areas
-
CWS, Inc., finances wildlife conservation and related projects in the wildlife habitat areas across the globe, principally by partnering with NGOs active in a given habitat. Additionally, CWS, Inc., may partner with other global conservation organizations outside the habitat that have specific expertise or technologies, e.g., for forest monitoring using modern technology. CWS, Inc., also directly pays vendors for specific services relevant to its mission. Finally, CWS, Inc., undertakes directly, or in participation with local organizations, projects of indirect benefit to the wildlife such as medical and social care assistance to foster goodwill of the impoverished rural human population resident in and near the wildlife habitat. The program activities are affected to the extent the level of fundraising is expected to vary from year to year due to economic and social conditions.

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.
