Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Indiana Karst Conservancy is a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation and preservation of caves and karst features in Indiana. The Conservancy encourages research and promotes education related to karst and its proper, environmentally compatible use.

  • Educational Services - The IKC has many volunteers who provide educational services to school groups, conservation groups, youth groups (e.g., Scout troops, developers, government agencies, and the general public who live in karst areas). In 2024, volunteers organized or presented at a number of events. In addition to our direct outreach, we have participated in authoring newspaper articles, have educational materials on our website, and have provided educational opportunities through our property holdings. The IKC's seven properties provide visitors with various opportunities including "wild" caving experiences, interpretive hiking on trails, and easy access to a large karst spring/resurgence. We also publish a quarterly newsletter to promote karst education opportunities and report on accomplishments. This newsletter is distributed for free to our members, supporters, and regional/national organizations and government agencies. It is also available (along with all back issues) on our public website.

    Expenses $3,885

  • Land Stewardship - The Indiana Karst Conservancy over the years has acquired seven conservation properties and one conservation easement to protect and promote karst education. In 2024, we continued to expended resources (funds and volunteer labor) at our various preserves, including trail maintenance, tree planting, invasive plant control, and the restoration and maintenance of our preserves.

    Expenses $2,025

  • Training - The IKC sponsored an Orientation to Cave Rescue in 2024 with approximately 25 participants. There was a participation fee but it did not cover the total cost of the training.

    Expenses $1,550 · Revenue $950

  • Other program expenses including liability insurance, property taxes, and support for the Indiana Land Protection Alliance.

    Expenses $3,836

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.

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 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.
