We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

• The Bonobo Peace Forest: a network of community-managed reserves, spanning a vast area of rainforest habitat. Includes two nationally gazetted nature reserves: Kokolopori Bonobo Reserve & Sankuru Nature Reserve, together encompasing 9 million acres, plus five additional community forests preparing for legal protection, where bonobos are protected. Working with The Nature Conservancy, Wild Forests & Fauna,and other partners to scale up conservation activities and achieve official protection for Lilungu, a strategic site that links a critical conservation corridor. Three additional community conservation areas have completed participatory mappinga key step in the process of obtaining legal protection of their lands. In-situ activities include reserve management, wildlife protection, sustainable livelihood initiatives, as well as ongoing education. Long-term bonobo research program at Kokolopori entered its ninth year, under the auspices of Harvard University.

  Expenses $192,105

• REDD Carbon Credit / Nature-Based Solutions Financing: To ensure sustainable, long-term support for the Bonobo Peace Forest, BCI is actively developing REDD (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) carbon credit and NBS financing to benefit local and indigenous communities, wildlife, and the rainforest. REDD projects at Sankuru and Kokolopori are midway through the process of validation, however progress was stalled due to a readjustment in the market and the subsequent development of improved methodologies. Investment that had been expected was halted as a result of the shake-up. As such, BCI focused its efforts on exploring strategic partnerships and potential investors, applying for accelerator programs, and preparing for the renewal of activities. BCI and partners have conducted extensive field work and consultations with local communities. Benefit-sharing plans are in developmemnt with all stakeholders, notably local communities.

  Expenses $84,560

• Awareness & Education: BCI launched a new, updated website this year (www.bonobo.org) and upgraded communication systems. In addition, BCI founder and president Sally Coxe presented a TEDx talk in an effort to raise global awareness of bonobos and gain more support for their protection. (While not listed as program expenses, these activities are central to BCIs mission.) BCI also continued outreach and education via DRC partner networks and social channels.

  Expenses $3,200

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
