Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

The Friends of the Inyos mission is to protect, and care for, the lands and waters of Californias Eastern Sierra.

  • Friends of the Inyos largest program is its policy engagement program. In 2023, FOI protected many areas in Californias Eastern Sierra from inappropriate projects aimed at extracting water or gold. Friends of the Inyo also significantly advanced a campaign to permanently protect 160,000 acres in Southern Inyo County as a national monument, and advanced a campaign to designate a new Area of Critical Environmental Concern in northern Mono County. Further, 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 $437,994 · Grants $500

  • Friends of the Inyo effectively cared for the lands of the Eastern Sierra in 2023 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 disturbance 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.

    Expenses $255,076 · Grants $150

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.
