Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
The Friends of the Inyos mission is to protect, and care for, the lands and waters of Californias Eastern Sierra.
-
Policy: Friends of the Inyo's largest program is its policy engagement program. In 2024, FOI continued to advocate for and protect California's Eastern Sierra from inappropriate projects aimed at extracting water and minerals from ecologically and culturally sensitive areas. FOI continued to advance campaigns to permanently protect 160,000 acres in southern Inyo County, and to designate a new Area of Critical Environmental Concern in northern Mono County. Additionally, through its policy engagement program, Friends of the Inyo achieved many protections for the land by advocating for conservation focused management provisions in recreation development proposals and federal land management plans.
Expenses $490,859 · Grants $2,123
-
Stewardship: Friends of the Inyo effectively cared for the lands of the Eastern Sierra in 2024 through its stewardship program. This includes physical programs for protection and restoration of public lands through habitat monitoring and improvement, removal of invasive species, removal of human debris, and maintenance with the intent to limit the expansion of human dsiturbance in natural environments. Typical seasonal stewardship activities include trail and campground maintenance, restoration of disturbed sites, and public outreach and education. Our organization partners with local schools, college groups, donors, as well as local and federal agencies to care for the public lands of the Eastern Sierra.

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.
