    Expenses $612,539 · Revenue $364,169

  • IN 2024-25, SYRCL'S WATERSHED SCIENCE PROGRAM WAS FULLY ENGAGED IN FISH AND HABITAT STUDIES ON THE LOWER YUBA RIVER AND MEADOW RESTORATION PROJECTS AT THE YUBA HEADWATERS. ALSO, IT PROVIDED SCIENTIFIC INPUT INTO REGULATORY PROCESSES THAT AFFECT RIVER FLOWS IN THE YUBA BASIN. THE WATERSHED SCIENCE PROGRAM INCLUDES THE EDUCATION PROGRAM WHICH BROUGHT EDUCATIONAL PRESENTATIONS ON WATER CONSERVATION AND FISH HABITAT TO SCHOOLS IN NEVADA COUNTY AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES. RIVER MONITORING, ANOTHER COMPONENT OF RIVER SCIENCE, ENTERED ITS 24TH YEAR, AND CONTINUED TO MONITOR THE WATER QUALITY OF THE YUBA RIVER USING VOLUNTEER CITIZEN-SCIENTISTS TO COLLECT DATA SO THAT ANY POTENTIAL THREATS COULD BE DETECTED. EACH YEAR, MORE THAN 80 RIVER MONITORS COLLECT HIGH QUALITY DATA AT NEARLY 40 SITES.

    Expenses $4,546,830

  • THE RIVER PEOPLE PROGRAM ENGAGES THE ENTIRE WATERSHED COMMUNITY TO BECOME INVOLVED AS VOLUNTEERS THROUGH RIVER AMBASSADORS, RIVER RESTORATION & MONITORING, THE WILD & SCENIC FILM FESTIVAL, SPECIAL EVENTS, AND THE YUBA RIVER CLEANUP. THIS PROGRAM CONTINUES TO COORDINATE ONE OF THE LARGEST RIVER CLEANUPS IN CALIFORNIA WITH MORE THAN 800 VOLUNTEERS. TO PROMOTE RESPONSIBLE CITIZEN STEWARDSHIP OF THE YUBA, OUR RIVER AMBASSADOR PROGRAM CONNECTS 10,000 VISITORS OVER THE 12 WEEKENDS IN THE SUMMER AT SEVERAL RIVER CROSSINGS NEAR POPULAR SWIMMING AREAS ALONG THE SOUTH YUBA RIVER STATE PARK. RIVER AMBASSADORS, WHO ARE SPECIALLY TRAINED VOLUNTEERS, EDUCATE THE PUBLIC AND ASSIST WITH PROMOTING FIRE-SAFETY, RECYCLING, AND LITTER PREVENTION. THIS WAS THE 13TH YEAR OF THIS PROJECT, AND IT CONTINUES TO RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS THAT VISITORS NEED TO "PACK OUT WHAT THEY PACK IN."

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

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

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.
