BUILDING ON THIRTY YEARS OF HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE IN MADAGASCAR, WISE TROPICS SUPPORTS PROGRAMS THAT SAVE LEMURS, SAFEGUARD NATURE, PLANT NEW RAINFORESTS, AND EDUCATE CHILDREN AND ADULTS ON THE EFFECTS OF GLOBAL CHANGE. WISE TROPICS SUPPORTS SCHOOL AND OTHER EDUCATION OUTREACH PROGRAMS IN MADAGASCAR THAT ENCOURAGE CONSERVATION PROJECTS. SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS TEACH THE VALUE OF THE FOREST AND ITS BIODIVERSITY THROUGH CAMPING TRIPS, NATURE WALKS, AND NATIVE TREE REFORESTATION PROGRAMS. WISE TROPICS ALSO RECEIVES CONTRIBUTIONS FROM DONORS FOR CONSERVATION EFFORTS, WHICH IS THEN DONATED TO CENTRE VALBIO (CVB). CVB WORKS TO PROTECT MADAGASCAR'S UNIQUE AND BIOLOGICALLY DIVERSE ECOSYSTEMS THROUGH CONSERVATION SCIENCE AND PROJECTS THAT DIRECTLY BENEFIT THE LOCAL PEOPLE, INCLUDING RURAL HEALTH CARE DELIVERY.

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.

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.
What this page reflects
