Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Allegheny GoatScape's mission is to reduce invasive and unwanted vegetation in public spaces and vacant lots, utilizing goats for browsing. Working in and around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Allegheny GoatScape accomplishes this mission by partnering with organizations, land owners, and businesses, allowing our animals to eat vegetation on the overgrown properties. Giving goats access to intentional properties removes vegetation in an ecologically-friendly and efficient manner, setting the stage for additional land management and restoration. Allegheny GoatScape also promotes goat husbandry and resources access for those interested in raising goats in the Pittsburgh region, and invasive species education for those seeking to improve their local ecology.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Utilize and care for goat herds to remove vegetation in public landscapes; provide outreach for public to learn about importance of invasive plant management and land stewardship. In 2024, AGS utilized herds to complete 41 projects on 57 acres of property. 40 of the projects were on public or educational institution property, comprising 91% of the of the total area addressed.

  • Allegheny GoatScape (AGS) received a grant from PNC Charitable Trusts to establish a geriatric herd, called the Golden Goats, for specific animals to receive additional care and support as aging or physically vulnerable goats. Extra care is provided to this herd since they are not as mobile as other animals. While other AGS herds work on projects in all types of terrain, the Golden Goats are only placed in locations with little elevation change, relative ease for staff and volunteers to tend to them. The herd did work on a few appropriate projects in 2024, and their work provided additional fee for service revenue to the grant that began in April 2024 and was to be spent by the end of March 2025. Additional revenue comes from non-discretionary donations.

    Expenses $41,569 · Revenue $20,000

  • AGS contracts with the City of Pittsburgh to work on intentional City-owned property, primarily City Parks and vacant lots, to provide invasive species management. In 2024, Allegheny GoatScape addressed 20 acres through their contract. In addition to land management, our staff provides outreach events at many of the working locations to share with the public the importance of native species and how goats provide a valuable service in supporting the local landscape care. Additional support for these projects were subsidized through non-discretionary donations. All revenue supports winter care of the animals when they are not actively working on landscaping service projects.

  • AGS contracts different organizations, municipalities, companies and land owners to address invasive plant species issues throughout Allegheny County, PA.

Some of the highlights included the GAP Trail along the Monongahela River in Homestead, fee for service provided by Waterfront Association; private wooded area, fee for service provided by Heinz Estate; Hays Woods Park, fee for service provided by The Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy; wooded area adjacent to new development in Fairywood, Pittsburgh, fee for service provided by RIDC; overgrown areas on Penn State University - Greater Allegheny Campus, fee for service provided by the Penn State University; and others.

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.

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.
