Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The 990 is distributed to the board of directors via email to review and ask questions prior to filing.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“Board Members are required to review and sign the conflict of interest policy annually. Board members are also expected to self-monitor and disclose if conflicts arise. If a conflict exists, board members are expected to leave the room for discussions and recuse themselves from voting.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

“The full board independently discusses the executive directors performance each year prior to giving the Executive Director's review. Data from other non-profits is considered when discussing and setting compensation. Salaries for all staff members are discussed as a group and when deemed necessary, independently as well. Salaries are formally adopted as part of the budget approval process.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15B

“Other board members are not compensated and there are no key employees.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“All documents are available in pdf and can be emailed or printed and sent via us mail per the preference of the requester. Requests can be made via phone, email, or us mail.”

Financial Statement Notes

Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.

“The Fund is intended to provide operating support to TINS in perpetuity. The use of distributions is limited to benefitting TINS and furthering it's mission, but there are no further limitations specified within the TINS Endowment Fund Policy. A min balance of $100k must be reached and maintained before any distributions can be made. At the last quarterly Board meeting of each year, the Finance Committee will present a recommendation for annual distributions towards the following year's annual budget. These annual distributions must be approved by a majority Board vote.”

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0RRESEARCH:TINS continued with our usual suite of Citizen Science coordination, including the Lake Tahoe Mid-winter Bald Eagle Survey, South Lake Tahoe Christmas Bird Count, Mid-winter Raptor Surveys in both Sierra and Carson valleys, North American Butterfly Association Butterfly Counts, and the annual Odonates Mini-blitz. We had 228 volunteers participate in these Citizen Science programs. We continued to participate in joint monitoring efforts of Peregrine Falcon nesting sites around the Tahoe/Truckee region. We continued snowshoe hare monitoring in California State Parks around the Lake Tahoe region, assisted NDOT with surveys for Federally Endangered Carson Wandering Skipper (Pseudocopaeodes eunus obscurus), and collaborated with USFS Region 5 scientists on the Tahoe Environmental Observation Network (TEON) project.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0OUTREACH:In 2024, we engaged in a diversity of Outreach events and festivals, with much of our Outreach programming centered around our 4th triennial Tahoe Big Year birding event. We hosted 56 outings with 968 participants, and hosted 20 talks, with at least 745 participants. We took a more active role in promoting and coordinating the Sagehen Bio-blitz with 6 guides and 26 participants. We also attended several Earth Day festivals, the Mono Basin Bird Chautaqua, and the Truckee River Day festival, as well as hosting our own Lake Tahoe Bird Festival and Native Species Day, resulting in solid education engagement with approximately 1440 people.
