3 other organizations in the IRS Business Master File list the same street address. matched by us

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

TO ENCOURAGE PRESERVATION, ENHANCEMENT AND RESTORATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES WITHIN THE DESIGNED RESERVE THROUGH INTERACTION WITH THE PUBLIC AGENCIES, CONSERVATION-ORIENTED ORGANIZATIONS, PROPERTY OWNERS AND THE INTERESTED PUBLIC.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO ENCOURAGE PRESERVATION, ENHANCEMENT AND RESTORATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES WITHIN THE DESIGNATED RESERVE THROUGH INTERACTION WITH THE PUBLIC AGENCIES, CONSERVATION-ORIENTED ORGANIZATIONS, PROPERTY OWNERS AND THE INTERESTED PUBLIC.

  • MONITORING COORDINATION - THE ANNUAL MONITORING OF SPECIES AND NATURAL COMMUNITIES OF THE RESERVE IS THE WAY NCC MEASURES THE SUCCESS OF LAND MANAGEMENT ACTIONS AND IMPACTS OF PUBLIC RECREATION, AND HOW IT TRACKS THE ECOLOGICAL HEALTH OF SPECIES FOR WHICH NROC WAS ESTABLISHED. IN ADDITION TO ONGOING ECOLOGICAL MONITORING EFFORTS, NCC CONDUCTED TWO FOCUSED TARGET BIRD SPECIES MONITORING EFFORTS - CALIFORNIA GNATCATCHER AND COASTAL CACTUS WREN ACROSS THE RESERVE. ADDITIONALLY, NCC COMPLETED A RESERVE-WIDE MONITORING EFFORT RESULTING IN A RECLASSIFICATION OF VEGETATION COMMUNITIES.

    Expenses $1,110,947

  • RESTORATION AND ENHANCEMENT - WORKING WITH LANDOWNERS AND LAND MANAGERS THAT MAKE UP THE MORE THAN 37,000 ACRE NATURE RESERVE OF ORANGE COUNTY (NROC), NCC CONDUCTED A SERIES OF WORKSHOPS INTRODUCING THESE PARTICIPATING MEMBERS INTO THE EFFECTIVE USE OF A NEWLY REVISED HABITAT RESTORATION AND ENHANCEMENT PLAN DEVELOPED BY NCC. THE MULTIPLE YEAR WORKSHOP WILL RESULT IN THE RESTORATION OF 50 ACRES OF COASTAL SAGE SRUB (CSS) AND THE SKILLS LEARNED WILL PROMOTE ADDITIONAL ACRES OF THE HABITAT RESTORATION ACROSS NROC. EFFORTS FURTHER BENEFIT THE THREE TARGET SPECIES AND 31 ADDITIONAL SPECIES IDENTIFIED IN THE NATURAL COMMUNITY CONSERVATION PLAN (NCCP) AND HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN (HCP) WHICH ARE THE SCIENCE UNDERPINNINGS OF NROC.

    Expenses $1,033,986

  • COWBIRD TRAPPING - NCC CONTINUED ITS ANNUAL OBLIGATION TO TRAP BROWNHEADED COWBIRD TO MANAGE THEIR IMPACTS ON PROTECTED BIRD SPECIES. COWBIRDS ARE BROOD PARASITES. FEMALE COWBIRDS LAY THEIR EGGS IN THE NEST OF OTHER NATIVE BIRDS. THE SPECIES TO WHICH THE NEST BELONGS UNKNOWINGLY RAISE THE COWBIRD CHICK OFTEN TO THE DETRIMENT OF THEIR OWN CHICKS. IN AREAS WHERE COWBIRD POPULATIONS ARE HIGH, TRAPS ARE USED TO LOWER THEIR NUMBERS AND INCREASE REPRODUCTIVE AND FLEDGLING SUCCESS OF BIRD SPECIES PARASITIZED BY COWBIRDS. A TOTAL OF NEARLY ONE DOZEN TRAPS WERE DEPLOYED FOR A TOTAL OF MORE THAN 2,400 TRAPDAYS IN THE RESERVE WHERE COWBIRD IMPACTS ON PROTECTED SONGBIRDS ARE POTENTIALLY HIGH.

    Expenses $39,547

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. 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

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 11 November 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.
