Mission and programs · 2025

Primary exempt purpose

The mission of Nearby Nature Milwaukee is to support promote and celebrate environmentalism in Milwaukee communities of color. We work to renew natural stress in those communities and provide access for all.

  • Nearby Nature provides outdoor recreational experiences that include hiking biking and paddling. We also provide volunteer service opportunities for neighborhood residents and allies to support renewal and repair of natural areas. This effort includes the maintenance of trails and prairie restoration in urban wild areas. As part of this stewardship we have been conducting scientific wildlife habitat research that includes monitoring of birds bats snakes toads and large mammals.

    Expenses $119,452

  • Nearby Nature provided an environmental educator to work in predominantly Black schools in our target area to supplement environmental science education in those schools and provide outdoor experiences through field trips to nearby natural areas. This effort also includes a summer internship program focused on green career exploration

    Expenses $23,000

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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 26 October 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

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

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.
