Mission and programs · 2024

• Infrastructure Improvement $27,379 - In 2024 our largest program activity focused on restoring the physical infrastructure of Tetepare Island which is crucial for the ongoing conservation efforts and sustainable ecotourism. Key accomplishments included: 1. Renovation of the islands ecolodge and field station which serve as the hub for conservation activities and ecotourism. 2. Installation of septic tanks and showers in the mens and womens baths. 3. Extensive renovation of dormitories including: o Replacement of building support posts o Installation of water tanks and solar panels o Upgrading of electric wiring and security features o Exterior painting and structural improvements These improvements were essential to ensure a safe hygienic and welcoming environment for TDA staff visitors and ecotourists supporting the long-term sustainability of the conservation project.

• TDA Scholarship Program $15,965 -- Our second largest program activity this year was paying school fees for the children of the members of the Tetepare Descendants Association TDA. Since 2008 the Conservation Agreement Fund has provided hundreds of scholarships to the children of TDA members. The scholarship program is one of the most important elements of our support for Tetepare because of its effectiveness in building community commitment to the islands conservation. This year we granted scholarships to 82 children 44 boys and 37 girls at a cost of SBD $1,500 each equivalent to approximately $175. In addition over the Christmas holiday we sponsored visits by a TDA board member to primary and secondary schools on nearby islands. These schools have benefited from our annual scholarship program. The purpose of these visits was twofold: to gather feedback on the scholarship initiative from students and staff and to share information about our conservation efforts. This outreach aimed to strengthen the connection between our educational support and environmental preservation goals in the region.

• TDA Annual General Meeting $10,270 -- Our third largest program activity this year was to provide funding for the TDA annual general meeting AGM. This was the first AGM since the Covid epidemic closed the Solomon Islands to outside travel in 2020. Our funding for the meeting covered the costs of hiring boats for travel from surrounding islands international air fare for one TDA board member living in Fiji and food and lodging for all attendees. Funding for annual meetings is a key element of our support for Tetepare. Since TDA members are widely dispersed on surrounding islands annual meetings are often the only opportunity for face-to-face interaction and for fostering unity and understanding among the associations members.

• Ranger Patrols and Environmental Monitoring $4,741 -- The Tetepare rangers monitoring and patrolling work is crucial to our conservation efforts. These activities not only directly impact the islands preservation but also greatly strengthen local community support of the project. This years grants provided funding for regular ranger patrols monitoring protected seagrass meadows a census of the local populations of endangered coconut crab and protection and relocation of the nests of endangered leatherback sea turtles.

• TDA Website Development $3,937 -- This year we also provided funding to revise the TDA website to make it mobile friendly.

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. 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.
