CONSERVE, PROTECT AND RESTORE THE SOIL, FOREST, WATER AND OTHER NATURAL RESOURCES OF THE US.

CHAPTER RELATIONS AND MEMBERSHIP: AT THE HEART OF IWLA ARE MORE THAN 200 LOCAL CHAPTERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THESE CHAPTERS FORM A GRASSROOTS VOLUNTEER NETWORK OF CONSERVATIONISTS AND COMMUNITY ACTIVISTS WHO ARE FIGHTING TO PROTECT THE NATURAL RESOURCES THEY LOVE AND ENJOY. IWLA SUPPORTS ITS LOCAL CHAPTERS THROUGH MEMBER RECOGNITION AND AWARD PROGRAMS, COMMUNICATION TOOLS, MEMBERSHIP MARKETING MATERIALS AND OTHER PUBLICATIONS, AND WORKSHOPS.

Expenses $538,855 · Grants $6,200 · Revenue $5,561
CLEAN WATER: ALL OVER AMERICA, VOLUNTEERS ARE STEPPING INTO THE GAP TO ENSURE OUR WATER IS SAFE AND IWLA IS THE ONLY ORGANIZATION TRAINING, EQUIPPING, AND COORDINATING THESE VOLUNTEERS ON A NATIONAL SCALE. THE SAVE OUR STREAMS PROGRAM IS THE ONLY NATIONWIDE PROGRAM TRAINING VOLUNTEERS TO PROTECT WATERWAYS FROM POLLUTION AND BRING INFORMATION ABOUT WATER QUALITY TO THEIR COMMUNITIES.

Expenses $538,805 · Revenue $31,160
COMMUNICATIONS AND MEDIA: OUTDOOR AMERICA MAGAZINE IS IWLA'S FLAGSHIP PUBLICATION AND THE PRIMARY VEHICLE FOR COMMUNICATING WITH IWLA'S MEMBERS ABOUT CONSERVATION ACTIVITIES AT THE LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL LEVELS. EACH ISSUE INCLUDES HIGHLIGHTS OF CHAPTER ACTIVITIES AND ARTICLES THAT FOCUS ON KEY CONSERVATION AND OUTDOOR RECREATION ISSUES.

AGRICULTURE: SINCE 1937, IWLA HAS PROMOTED FARMING METHODS THAT SUSTAIN PEOPLE AND NATURAL RESOURCES. TO THEIR CREDIT, AMERICAN FARMERS FEED THE COUNTRY AND MUCH OF THE WORLD.

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.
