• THROUGH OUR YOUTH EDUCATION PROGRAM, WE BROUGHT ENGAGING, SCIENCE BASED EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS TO APPROXIMATELY 4,000 STUDENTS. THESE PROGRAMS SPARKED CURIOSITY FOR, AND LOVE OF, THE SONORAN DESERT WHICH OFTEN LEADS TO A GREATER RESPECT FOR, AND DESIRE TO CONSERVE, NATURE.OVER 600 VOLUNTEERS LOGGED OVER 73,000 HOURS ASSISTING US IN PROVIDING OUR SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY. THE VALUE OF THESE HOURS TOTALED $2,450,071 AND IS INCLUDED AS CONTRIBUTION REVENUE AND EXPENSE FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENT PURPOSES. FOR FORM 990, HOWEVER, THE IRS REQUIRES THIS AMOUNT BE EXCLUDED FROM BOTH REVENUE AND EXPENSE.WE HOSTED OUR SECOND TOUR DE SCOTTSDALE BICYCLE RACE (FUNDRAISER) WITH OVER 2,600 RIDERS, NETTING THE ORGANIZATION ALMOST $150,000. WITH OVER 60 TRAIL CAMERAS, WE CAPTURED NEARLY ONE MILLION PHOTOS DOCUMENTING 21 ANIMAL SPECIES AND THEIR HABITS, PROVIDING INVALUABLE INSIGHTS INTO THEIR BEHAVIOR, HABITAT USE, AND MIGRATION PATTERNS - INSIGHTS THAT HAVE INFORMED TARGETED CONSERVATION STRATEGIES AND PROTECTION EFFORTS.

  Expenses $576,601 · Revenue $191,693

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

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.

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.
