Mission and programs · 2025

• THE STREAM RESTORATION PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO ADDRESS STREAM BANK EROSION, FAILING ROAD STREAM CROSSINGS, DAMS, AND RECREATIONAL ACCESS SITES, WHICH CAUSE ADVERSE BIOLOGICAL IMPACTS TO ANIMAL AND PLANT LIFE AND THREATEN THE ECOLOGY OF ENTIRE WATERSHEDS. RESTORATION PROGRAMS PROVIDE FOR ROAD CROSSING IMPROVEMENTS, STRUCTURAL STABILIZATION MEASURES, DAM REMOVAL, AND STREAM CHANNEL RESTORATION TO IMPROVE HABITAT AND WATER QUALITY. FOUR MILLION ACRES IN FIFTEEN COUNTIES AND FIFTEEN STREAMS HAVE BEEN AIDED THROUGH THIS PROGRAM.

  Expenses $3,068,186

• THE LANDOWNER & SITE SERVICES PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO ASSIST LANDOWNERS BY DEVELOPING MANAGEMENT PLANS TO KEEP WILDLIFE CORRIDORS OPEN BETWEEN EXISTING NATURAL AREAS AND ALONG RIVER CORRIDORS, IN ORDER TO ALLOW FOR THE UNRESTRICTED MOVEMENT OF WILDLIFE AND THE PROTECTION OF WATER QUALITY. CORRIDORS ALONG WETLANDS AND STREAMS CONTAIN A HIGH DIVERSITY OF PLANTS AND ANIMALS WHOSE HABITAT HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY FRAGMENTED BY DEVELOPMENT.

  Expenses $332,073

• THE PLANNING AND CONSULTING PROGRAMS INVOLVE FACILITATING LOCAL LEADERSHIP AND PLANNING IN CRA'S SERVICE AREA, PLUS AGILE AND CAREFULLY MATCHED INVOLVEMENT IN REGIONAL EFFORTS AT THE STATE, GREAT LAKES AND NATIONAL SCALE. THROUGH OUR PLANNING AND CONSULTING WORK, CRA IS COMMITTED TO STAYING PROACTIVE AND HIGHLY CURRENT ON EACH LOCAL WATERSHED AND CORRIDOR. WE HAVE ALSO ADDED VALUE BY SHARING OUR SUCCESSFUL MODELS WITH OTHERS THROUGHOUT THE GREAT LAKES.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made
