Mission and programs · 2024

  Expenses $402,342 · Revenue $1,585,427

• Marvin Nichols Reservoir: TCA coordinates a coalition of property owners, timber industry officials, citizens engaged in agribusiness, conservationists, and other Texas residents who oppose construction of the 66,000-acre Marvin Nichols Reservoir on the Sulphur River in Texas and who advocate for cost-effective water supply options that are less damaging to the natural and human environments. This year, TCAs project, Preserve Northeast Texas, generated coverage in numerous media and print outlets, organized public opposition to the project, and supported legislation to address the issue.

  Expenses $251,303 · Revenue $253,299

• Habitat Restoration and Lights Out for Wildlife: TCA conducts events and recruits people from a wide range of constituencies, particularly young people, to participate in habitat restoration events planting trees and native prairie plants, cleaning up trash harmful to wildlife, turning off nonessential lighting during spring and fall bird migrations (called Lights Out for Wildlife), and eliminating invasive plants from natural areas. In FY24, TCA held or co-hosted events at which more than 1,000 volunteers planted trees and prairie plants and picked up trash from Texas waterways. TCA staff, interns, and volunteers conducted on-foot surveys of downtown Dallas and Fort Worth to gather data about bird mortality due to light pollution and to rehab injured birds, and urged cities, building managers, and residents to go Lights Out. TCA propagates and disseminates native plants.

  Expenses $170,400 · Revenue $184,602

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.

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.
