Mission
CONSERVATION FLORIDA'S MISSION IS TO PROTECT FLORIDA'S NATURAL AND AGRICULTURAL LANDSCAPES FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.
-
Land Protection: From the Panhandle to the Florida Keys, our land protection projects are focused on safeguarding Florida's water, wildlife, and wild places - the natural and working lands that make Florida home. Conservation Florida protects lands with natural, agricultural, and community values that help protect some of the rarest habitats and species in the world while ensuring they remain connected and protected for generations to come. In 2024, this included projects that permanently protected lands critical to water quality, wildlife habitat, and agricultural heritage. We worked with landowners, including ranchers and farmers, to keep working lands in production, while also advancing projects that strengthen community conservation - ensuring Floridians benefit from clean water, outdoor recreation, and places to connect with nature. We continue to prioritize collaboration with partners across Florida to strengthen conservation statewide. By working together at a landscape scale, we advance projects that have lasting significance for Florida's environment, economy, and communities.
Expenses $1,056,778 · Grants $9,000
-
Advocacy, Education, Outreach: Our education, events, and advocacy efforts are aimed at supporting our mission to protect the Sunshine State's water, wildlife, and wild places - the places that make Florida home. Conservation Florida provides a wide array of opportunities for Floridians to develop a love for the land and to protect the land that protects them. Our goal is to meet people where they are in their communities. In 2024, this included educational programming across the state, guided hikes, volunteer and trail building days at our public preserve, and Conservation on Tap gatherings that bring communities together to learn about our mission and land protection work. These hands-on experiences bring people closer to the wild places that make Florida, Florida. In addition, we continue to prioritize collaboration with partners across Florida to strengthen land conservation statewide. Our team advocates for meaningful, consistent conservation funding at the local and state levels, engaging directly with policymakers to promote the importance of protecting Florida's natural heritage.

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.
