Mission and programs · 2024

• Supporting Wildlife Conservationists: The Organization offers support to help save wildlife and their habitats around the world and builds a stronger and all encompassing wildlife conservation community. Our programs provide funding and support to conservationists from all communities to advance their critical work and opportunities to emerging conservationists that would otherwise be beyond their reach. Programs include grants, professional development, fellowships, internships and scholarships.

  Expenses $1,088,156 · Grants $781,132 · Revenue $18,291

• Inspiring the next generation: The Organization offers programs to inspire and educate an inclusive generation of wildlife champions. Our programs focus on middle school students in traditionally underestimated communities. We offer the Conservation Nation Academy program with an in-school curriculum focused on inspiring role model conservationists and experiences in nature. Our education programs aspire to develop a student's conservation mindset and ethic, to build their confidence and self-efficacy in conservation, and to cultivate future conservation champions and leaders.

  Expenses $893,257 · Grants $7,500

• Building communities and connections: The Organization cultivates a global community of people and organizations focused on amplifying different perspectives in conservation to solve urgent biodiversity challenges. Our unique value is stitching together funding, resources, education, and connections that individuals need to enter, stay, and thrive in conservation. Together with partner organizations, we offer networking and mentoring programs, public events, and strategic collaboration to leverage our collective strength to break down impediments with urgency, efficiency, and impact.

As filed on the 2024 return.

Listed in Part VII

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.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
