Mission and programs · 2024

• WAWA partnered with the City of Atlanta Department of Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Affairs and other partners to provide environmental education, environmental stewardship and health and wellness programming at the Outdoor Activity Center, Cascade Springs Nature Preserve, the Lionel Hampton-Beecher Hills Preserve. Specifically, WAWA led repeated and significant experiences for youth from underserved communities in the outdoors as well as led the Atlanta, GA Nature Everywhere initiative to determine a collective vision statement and goals with our partners. We also facilitated over 1,015 hours of outdoor youth and family programs, led youth and families in hiking 1,900 miles of trails, and engaged over 4,739 adults and children in outdoor exploration, learning, and fun!

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.
