Mission and programs · 2024

• NATUREBRIDGE CONNECTS YOUNG PEOPLE TO THE WONDER AND SCIENCE OF THE NATURAL WORLD, IGNITING SELF-DISCOVERY AND INSPIRING STEWARDSHIP OF OUR PLANET. WE DELIVER HANDS-ON OUTDOOR EDUCATION PROGRAMS IN SOME OF THE WORLD'S MOST BEAUTIFUL CLASSROOMS-OUR NATIONAL PARKS. FOUNDED IN 1971, OUR CAMPUSES ARE LOCATED IN YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, GOLDEN GATE NATIONAL RECREATION AREA, OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK, AND PRINCE WILLIAM FOREST PARK.NATUREBRIDGE'S SCHOOL & GROUP EDUCATION PROGRAMS TAKE YOUNG PEOPLE OUT OF THE CLASSROOM AND INTO THE OUTDOORS FOR MULTI-DAY IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES, HELPING STUDENTS CREATE LASTING CONNECTIONS WITH THEMSELVES, THEIR PEERS, AND THE NATURAL WORLD. WITH CHILDREN IMMERSED IN THE OUTDOORS, SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES ARE BROUGHT TO LIFE AND INSPIRE BOTH IN-DEPTH LEARNING AND A LIFELONG CONNECTION TO NATURE. EACH PROGRAM IS CUSTOMIZED TO MEET INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL GROUPS' ACADEMIC NEEDS AND ALIGN WITH STATE/NATIONAL SCIENCE STANDARDS. OPTIONAL PRE- AND POST-PROGRAM CLASSROOM VISITS FROM NATUREBRIDGE EDUCATORS ENABLE TEACHERS TO DEEPEN THE IMPACT OF THE NATUREBRIDGE EXPERIENCE THROUGHOUT AND BEYOND THE ACADEMIC SCHOOL YEAR.NATUREBRIDGE PROVIDES OUTDOOR EDUCATION PROGRAMS TO A DIVERSE AUDIENCE INCLUDING K-12 TEACHERS, TEENS AND FAMILIES. WE ALSO WORK WITH LEADERS IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION TO ADVANCE SCIENTIFIC AND SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING NATIONWIDE. AT THE HEART OF OUR WORK IS OUR EVIDENCE-BASED CORE EDUCATIONAL FRAMEWORK, WHICH COMPRISES THREE THEMES: SENSE OF PLACE, INTERCONNECTIONS AND STEWARDSHIP. USING THIS ONE-OF-A-KIND FRAMEWORK IN OUR RANGE OF PROGRAMS, NATUREBRIDGE REACHES OVER 35,000 INDIVIDUALS IN A TYPICAL YEAR AND HELPS GROW THE NEXT GENERATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDS.

  Expenses $17,365,832 · Grants $1,181,680 · Revenue $17,978,178

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.

The first 25 listed. 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.
