Mission and programs · 2024

• In our 22-year history, Big Waters Land Trust has protected 69 properties totaling 20,071 acres, for the benefit of people and nature. The organization collaborated with 67 private, public, and not-for-profit organizations in the past year. The organization's mission is supported by over 800 donors annually. Cumulatively over the past 22 years, total revenues exceeded $72,000,000 derived from contributions, grants, and other program fees such as contract work with Sarasota County's environmentally sensitive land acquisitions program. Education programs include programming for youth and adults that connect people of all ages and abilities to nature and to each other, building a conservation community.

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.

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.
