Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Watershed Associations (WVWA) mission is to ensure that communities are aware of their connection and responsibilities to their watershed and are supported in implementing water policies and practices that will ensure ecological sustainability for future generations. We advocate for clean, clear flowing springs and streams and the sustained health of the Central Texas region through conducting scientific research, networking and facilitating diverse stakeholders, and providing community engagement through experiential education.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Our mission is to ensure that communities are aware of their connection and responsibility to their watershed; we advocate for the sustained health of land and water through research and education.

  • Policy Advocacy and Environmental PlanningThe organization works with nonprofits, governments, and resource management agencies to promote sustainable environmental policies to protect and preserve land and water. We hold a broad lens of the dynamics affecting water in Central Texas and engage stakeholders in community and regional planning processes that promote best management practices for new development and incentives for protecting open space for aquifer recharge and water quality. The WA provides crucial support for partnering organizations and districts to address large policy cases that pose significant threats to our water resources. By leveraging its extensive network and providing sound scientific expertise, the Watershed Association enables a coordinated and effective response to complex water issues. This collaborative approach allows us to address water challenges at both local and regional levels, comprehensively ensuring a strong, unified stance in the face of emerging threats to our water resources. In 20242025, our advocacy focused on defending the authority of Groundwater Conservation Districts (GCDs) in the face of ongoing legal challenges. Regionally, we helped establish and implement the Blanco-Cypress Watershed Protection Plana first-of-its-kind interlocal agreement uniting Hays County, Wimberley, Woodcreek, and Texas State University to coordinate monitoring and policy efforts. This collaborative governance framework is now funding long-term watershed protection and clean water initiatives across jurisdictions. Through local, regional, and state-level initiativesincluding drought-stage policy development, pristine streams advocacy, and land-use planning reformswe advance proactive and innovative strategies to ensure water resilience and ecological integrity in a rapidly shifting landscape.

  • Watershed Protection & Conservation Science - The Watershed Association protects vital water resources through scientific monitoring, policy development, and collaborative watershed management. Since 2003, we have collected quality-assured water quality data for the Texas Clean Rivers Program, monitoring the Blanco River and Cypress Creek for Clean Water Act compliance. Our organization initiated the EPA-approved Cypress Creek Watershed Protection Plan in 2008, the first in Texas to proactively focus on groundwater protection supporting surface water quality. Our advocacy and technical expertise also supported the Pristine Streams Rulemaking Initiative at TCEQ, the Dye Trace Study in lower Cypress Creek, and watershed restoration following harmful flooding and drought impacts. In 2024, we achieved a significant milestone through an interlocal agreement with Hays County, the cities of Wimberley and Woodcreek, and the Meadows Center for Water and the Environment. This innovative partnership funds water quality monitoring and implements watershed protection strategies through a dedicated County Watershed Coordinator position. The Association continues to serve on the Jacob's Well Groundwater Management Zone initiative, working with the Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District and regional stakeholders to establish drought triggers and management practices. This comprehensive approach to watershed protection integrates scientific monitoring, policy development, and multi-jurisdictional collaboration to ensure sustainable water resources for future generations.

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.

Grants received

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

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.
