Mission and programs · 2023
Mission
The Organization has five program pillars: Education, Advocacy, Restoration, Research, and Clean Water Enforcement. In addition, a program called the Inland Empire Waterkeeper (IEWK), which is separately licensed by the Waterkeeper Alliance.
Activities or mission (Part I)
To protect swimmable, drinkable, fishable water and promote watershed resilience throughout our region.
-
Enforcement- The Organization monitors any pollution that occurs during rain events or through any other activity throughout the region. The goal is to clean up the region, which included polluted runoff from industrial sites of all types. The Organization initiates Federal Clean Water Act based litigation against violators when polluted discharges are consistently non-compliant with State and Federal water laws.
Expenses $750,115 · Revenue $1,585,500
-
Advocacy- The Organization collaborates on various projects and advocates for stricter storm water and runoff regulations at regulatory agencies and commissions, as well as state, county, and local governments. The Organization promotes collaborative solutions to enhance coastal protection, including ensure public access to coastal resources, and healthy marine habitats.
Expenses $469,813
-
Education- The Organization interacts with thousands of students and citizens at schools and public outreach events to raise regional awareness about watersheds and marine issues. Currently, in more than 40 schools, the Organization promotes stewardship and environmental careers through its Whales program, which provides in-class and field experience to junior high school and high school students each year.

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.
