Other organizations at this address

3 other organizations in the IRS Business Master File list the same street address. matched by us

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

Mission

To connect, equip, and mobilize people and organizations to care for land and water in their communities.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The Stewardship Networks mission is to connect, equip, and mobilize people and organizations to care for land and water in their communities. See Schedule O for additional information.

  • EQUIP Member Communities Program The Stewardship Network provides backbone support and technology systems to TSN Member Communities across the nation. Our approach builds inclusivity and diversity into land stewardship efforts and we fully embrace the unique supporting role we play in sparking change through these team efforts. In 2024, The Stewardship Network continued to refine and deliver a suite of support services to Member Communities, which include stewardship training and education coordinator support and leadership development event registration/communications structural technology support and communication services administrative, HR, and fiscal sponsorship services. In 2024, TSN grew its Gloves for Good program, which diverts lightly used work gloves out of the waste system, cleans them, and distributes them throughout our network. See Schedule O for further details.

    Expenses $661,516 · Revenue $87,434

  • MOBILIZE Collaborative Stewardship Services The Stewardship Network was heavily involved in providing capacity support to several important collaborative stewardship projects, with partners across several states. These fiscally sponsored or grant-funded projects included Collaborating Well, California Landscape Stewardship Network, Duluth CISMA, Golden Gate Biosphere Network, Great Lakes Islands Alliance, Greater Baltimore Wilderness Coalition, and Above/Below. Additionally, we provided technical and backbone support for 30x30 Californias ongoing engagement activities including their Fall 2024 convening. Providing this type of support to the networks and projects that we work with solves an important infrastructural gap often encountered in our sector and allows collaboratives to take their work forward to solve on the ground stewardship challenges.

    Expenses $389,266 · Revenue $28,205

  • CONNECT Learning Engagement Program The Stewardship Network has become an enormous nexus of relevant, specialized knowledge through decades of successful collaboration. While that hard-earned wisdom is leveraged all year long in service to our Member Communities, we continue to dedicate a meaningful portion of our energy to sharing these learnings with the widest audience possible. In 2024, these activities included TSN Conference 2024, TSN Spring Challenge, and TSN Monthly Webcasts. See Schedule O for further details.

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.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
