Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Bus for Outdoor Access & Teaching or BOAT strives to empower impact organizations to get more people outside. We put a full-service outdoor program in the hands of community leaders addressing barriers to remote outdoor experiences. By honoring and enabling the vision of others we leverage the power of building community outside to achieve greater goals.

  • BOAT partners with community leaders and provides them with equipment transportation food support insurance risk management and other elements necessary for successful outdoor experiences. Those trip leaders then get to lead trips that support their own work and mission on their own terms.

    Expenses $303,127 · Revenue $247,920

  • BOAT partners with organizations and provides them with equipment transportation food support insurance risk management and other elements necessary for residential camp or other experiential learning programs.

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.

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.
