We activate our mission by working with a network of 60+ partners located in states and provinces across North America. 0 0 3153286 Scientific Data and Methods: NatureServe is North America's authoritative source for standardized data on the location and condition of species and ecosystems collected by biodiversity experts from the NatureServe Network. Our scientists develop peer-reviewed methods for collecting, classifying, assessing, and mapping biodiversity data and information. Guided by these shared methods, the NatureServe Network documents and predicts distributions, evaluates threats, assesses extinction risks, and documents trends for at-risk species and ecosystems. We help our partners prioritize species and geographic areas for effective conservation and management decisions. 2028454 Conservation Products and Services: NatureServe and the NatureServe Network develop and manage the most comprehensive data for over 100,000 species and ecosystems, answering fundamental questions about what exists, where it is found, and how it is doing. We serve this information to the public through our flagship data delivery product NatureServe Explorer, the authoritative and free online guide for the plants, animals, and ecosystems in North America. We provide direct access to geospatial data through NatureServe Explorer Pro and our open data Conservation GeoHub. We also provide advanced ecological modeling services to predict species habitat and assess landscape condition and vulnerability. 1634210 Technology Research and Development & Technology Data Management: NatureServe develops and maintains Biotics, the biodiversity information management system that serves as a common operating platform for state and provincial NatureServe Network programs to assess the status and map the locations of imperiled species and ecosystems. The Biotics database serves as the backbone behind NatureServe Explorer and state environmental review tools that are also powered by NatureServe technology. We are also exploring how to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate our scientific assessments. 6815950 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 18 0 1 73 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 12 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 AL AR CA FL GA HI IL KS KY MD MA MI MN MS NH NJ NM NY NC OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WV WI X X Oscar Yurica 7039081800 2550 South Clark Street 930A Arlington VA 22202 Sean O'Brien President and CEO (end 3/24) 35.00 X X 243928 0 19918 Bryce Maxell Board of Directors Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Urban Lehner Board of Directors Vice Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Carolyn Hendricks Board of Directors Vice Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Jane Breckinridge Board of Directors Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Nancy L Weiss Board of Directors Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 David Anderson Board of Directors Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Francisco Carrillo Board of Directors Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Friesen Board of Directors Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Steven Quarles Board of Directors Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jed Sundwall Board of Directors Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 John Trezise Board of Directors Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Alan Weakley Board of Directors Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Stephen Sellers COO/CBO (end 5/24) 35.00 X 198520 0 15261 Lori Scott Interim CEO 35.00 X 164597 0 14626 Anne Bowser Interim Pres & EVP of Programs 35.00 X 135655 0 14339 Jeanette Stoltzfus Chief Advancemet Officer (end 4/24) 35.00 X 157693 0 9658 Frank McLean IT Manager 35.00 X 148559 0 9641 Regan Smyth VP of Conservation Science 35.00 X 137770 0 8435 David Hauver Principal Software Engineer 35.00 X 131738 0 10514 Oscar Yurica Director of Finance 35.00 X 122915 0 15656 1441375 0 118048 19 0 1 0 Your Part-Time Controller LLC 1600 Market Street Suite 3425 Philadelphia PA 19103 Accounting services 185585 1 87000 4040598 1226632 17098 5354230 Contract Revenues 900099 2214483 2214483 Software Support & Svc 541700 1634164 1634164 Data Requests & Maps 541700 251033 251033 Registration Fees 900099 10045 10045 4109725 77692 77692 34625 0 34625 34625 34625 943430 868621 74809 74809 74809 9651081 4109725 0 187126 791758 541183 208045 42530 4776941 3271138 1248179 257624 260886 178650 68167 14069 647615 435863 178127 33625 435923 298436 113990 23497 11580 11580 27496 27496 16058 16058 548237 276291 260837 11109 158284 11763 141758 4763 637044 395955 237399 3690 666235 524151 115443 26641 220305 172022 42911 5372 84948 59624 20200 5124 4784 4784 24289 24289 54119 54119 Subagreements 652607 576882 75725 Payroll fees 74261 53044 17239 3978 Taxes, licenses, and pe 49646 6040 43606 Dues and subscriptions 20178 14908 5245 25 10163194 6815950 2915197 432047 1034687 763099 362498 554437 1051700 878081 1327510 1888556 90218 131613 1379503 1297310 106482 82193 2729035 2021522 2155854 1711639 8857984 8031140 925417 985716 1092812 1656838 800000 2264297 1995243 5082526 4637797 X 2006394 2114605 1769064 1278738 3775458 3393343 8857984 8031140 X -512113 130883 -885 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 5660192 4435967 5173605 4959110 5354230 25583104 5660192 4435967 5173605 4959110 5354230 25583104 1508181 24074923 460454 418044 346457 179664 112317 1516936 14219 17369 32062 63650 27163690 14730846 0.88630 0.84850 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 10147136 10147136 657357 164339 0 0 525081 618041 655120 657357 2455599 3683399 115000 180000 155001 0 450001 131270 154510 163780 164339 613899 920849 3091533 284426 800000 2575959 4679079 396312 1983858 3091533 7191364 -584154 1928131 4679079 6349781 378362 1553270 1090049 7191364 6272266 750 245061 298206 6219871 0.75284 0.21315 0.03401 0 0 57227 56316 911 446428 446428 0 875848 794566 81282 82193 Deposits 51504 Right-of-use asset - operating lease 1660135 1711639 Tenant deposits 1111 Lease liability - operating lease 1994132 1995243 X 10866470 130883 1100564 1231447 9635023 16058 16058 9651081 11248585 1100564 885 1101449 10147136 16058 16058 10163194 Part V, Line 4: The intended use of the organization's permanent endowment funds is for the investment return to be used to help support operations.

These members have the right to vote for representatives to their section council, to vote for the section representatives to the Board of Directors, and to vote on resolutions at meetings of the membership. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a Three seats on the Board of Directors are selected by the constituent members to represent the two section councils: one seat for the Canadian section and two seats for the United States section. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b Upon receipt of a draft form 990 from its accounting and tax firm, the organization provides copies to the audit committee of the Board of Directors to review, upon satisfactory review with the organization management and the audit committee, the final form 990 is provided to the full Board for comment in a timely fashion and then filed with the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Each member of NatureServe's Board of Directors and each of its corporate officers annually signs a statement disclosing any and all real, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest. In case of any Board member or corporate officer disclosed conflict, the Board (absent the member in question if needed), determines how to resolve the conflict; including: (1) whether the Board member or corporate officer should be removed from the discussion of the matter; and (2) whether the relationship with the individual or entity presenting the conflict should be terminated. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15a In early 2024, NatureServe conducted a review of CEO and Executive Director compensation as part of its commitment to nonprofit best practices and responsible stewardship. Guided by the organization's internal Compensation Increase Framework, this review included an evaluation of market data from peer nonprofits and executive compensation surveys to ensure salaries remained reasonable and aligned with industry standards. A recommended adjustment was presented to the Executive Committee, composed entirely of independent directors, which considered the data alongside organizational performance and financial health. Their deliberations and recommendation were documented in accordance with IRS guidelines for establishing reasonable compensation. The Executive Committee's recommendation was then reviewed and formally approved by the independent members of the full Board of Directors. NatureServe also applies this compensation framework to other key staff, using current market data and performance-based criteria to guide decisions around salary adjustments and cost-of-living increases. All compensation decisions are carefully documented, reflecting the organization's commitment to transparency, fairness, and sound governance practices. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The organization has a public disclosure policy which states that the organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, form 990 and financial statements are to be made available to the public upon written request. Form 990 and financial statements are also available on the organization's website. Form 990, Part XI, line 9: Provision for credit losses -885.
