Mission and programs · 2022

• THE BUTTERFLY HOUSE & AQUARIUM HAD 40,546 VISITORS DURING THE JULY 1 - DECEMBER 31, 2022, TIMEFRAME. OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPERIENCE TROPICAL ECOSYSTEMS ARE MINIMAL TO NONEXISTENT FOR MOST RESIDENTS IN THE LANDLOCKED, ALL-SEASON MIDWEST. A REPRIEVE FROM THE COLD, ENCOUNTERS WITH COLORFUL BUTTERFLIES AND FISH, AND THE TRANQUILITY OF THE EXHIBITS ESTABLISH OUR FACILITY AS A ONE-OF-A-KIND DESTINATION IN THE DAKOTAS. WITH OVER 800 TROPICAL BUTTERFLIES IN A YEAR ROUND 80-DEGREE OASIS, AND TWELVE SALTWATER AQUARIUMS, WE STRIVE TO LEAVE AN IMPACT ON EVERY GUEST THROUGH INTERACTIVE LEARNING AND HEALING EXPERIENCES WITH NATURE.

As filed on the 2022 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2022

As listed in Part VII of the 2022 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.
