Through March, programs were offered in the classroom, on school grounds/neighborhood parks, and at the Audubon Center at Chatfield State Park. For seven years, Denver Audubon has offered a year-long "Healthy Waters, Healthy Birds" program for the fifth grade students at East Elementary and the fourth grade students at Roxborough Intermediate. Denver Audubon also began new conservation programs with middle and high school students. The Audubon Nature Center was open to the public for family and adult programs, summer camps, and a variety of public events. We had over 2,000 visitors and program participants of all ages at the Audubon Center at Chatfield State Park during fiscal year 2019-2020. NOTE: From March to June 2020, due to COVID, the staff worked on virtual programs for the schools and the public, including a live feed of the bird banding. 122072 Member Services:Over 800 people attended over 75 field trips and classes throughout the Denver metro region (numbers are lower to previous years dues to COVID). Over 4,700 supporters receive information about programs through bi-weekly email, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram notices. Over 75 members attended our annual Fall Members Gathering in 2019. Our Communications & Marketing Coordinator develops new communications to our members to tell our program stories, and created our first printed annual report for 2018-19. NOTE: In April 2020 we debuted a new website, which includes a blog. We discontinued the Warbler and direct our supporters to the new website. 48461 2314 Other Projects and Partnerships:1. Conservation program: In January 2020, one staff member became our first Conservation Programs Coordinator. She works with Denver Audubons Conservation Committee to follow legislative activities and watch for projects or proposals that might adversely affect bird populations, other wildlife, and habitats in the Denver metro region. Committee members participate in land-use stakeholder meetings and review construction plans and conservation alternatives. The Conservation Coordinator is also working with all staff to ensure conservation weaves through all of our programs. Current activities include working with local communities to encourage creating bird-friendly yards and encouraging hunters to use non-lead ammunition through a new brochure we created. The Committee hosts an annual Getting Green Laws legislative forum.2. Research program: Denver Audubons more formal research efforts are supported by the Lois Webster Fund (LWF). The LWF helps sponsor non-game wildlife research and educational projects. Since 1995, has awarded 53 grants totaling over $108,463. The 2020 Projects are: Black Swift Movement Ecology Wild Bee Recovery Following A Catastrophic Flood Bald Eagle Nesting Studies3. Other notable programs include: Audubon Master Birder program, monthly programs and events for all ages at the Audubon Center at Chatfield State Park, adult classes such as Beginning Birdwatching, Birding Insights, Naturalist Training, and the Bluebird Project. We also partner with the Childrens Hospital South Campus in Highlands Ranch where we installed bird feeders. Our volunteers have binoculars to show young patients and their parents our local birds. NOTE: Beginning in March, some programs were cancelled, while others were converted to virtual programs.The success of these activities is related to Denver Audubons large and successful volunteer program. In fiscal 2019/20, over 200 individual volunteers, including corporate groups, contributed over 6,000 hours of their time to Denver Audubon! 312881 true true false true false false false false false false true false false true false true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 3 0 true 6 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true false true false false X Karl Brummert 3039739530 9308 South Wadsworth Blvd Littleton CO 80128 Karl Brummert Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 62040 0 1861 Shelley Conger Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kristin Salamack Secretary 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Carl Norbeck Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ann Bonnell 2nd Vice Pres 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Wendy Woods President 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mark Swatek Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Allie McKenzie Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Diane Rapue Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Arlene Raskin 1st Vice Pres 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 62040 1861 0 false false false 0 47390 277281 324671 Merchandise sales 1854 1854 Other earned income 460 460 Program tuition 52054 52054 54368 5036 5036 0 0 0 0 74075 39624 34451 34451 0 0 0 418526 54368 39487 0 0 0 0 62040 31020 15510 15510 0 143886 135781 5083 3022 12093 9795 1209 1089 1800 1458 180 162 16486 13354 1648 1484 0 0 16646 13483 1665 1498 0 0 2013 2013 34240 29610 3358 1272 0 4686 3795 469 422 8754 7091 875 788 0 2526 2526 4736 3836 474 426 0 0 0 0 26050 25735 315 6885 5507 1378 LWF disbursements 11453 11453 Program supplies 9390 9390 Printing and Publications 6440 5216 644 580 Equipment rental 2985 2985 3486 846 2546 94 376595 312881 37367 26347 0 169965 290955 0 1511 6215 0 0 0 0 1995 1995 602317 404208 224159 198109 120286 116020 0 0 0 430141 400754 948057 1014048 12022 11266 41200 12022 52466 X 815749 845562 120286 116020 936035 961582 948057 1014048 41931 -16384 X true X true X true false X 187724 442876 255222 239250 324671 1449743 0 0 187724 442876 255222 239250 324671 1449743 184239 1265504 8058 5973 9606 15900 5036 44573 0 0 1494316 0.84690 0.82680 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 8937 8937 367658 376595 75319 18830 false 58049 62321 70139 75319 265828 398742 7539 7548 8883 8937 32907 14512 15580 17535 18830 66457 99686 8883 8937 17820 559511 368807 190704 26239 26039 200 16567 9362 7205 198109 Beneficial interest in net assets of 400754 400754 X 441327 -16384 39185 22801 418526 418526 415780 39185 39185 376595 376595 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization is exempt from federal and state income taxes under IRS Section 501(c)(3) and believes it has complied with all requirements necessary to maintain that status. false Birding Trips 33480 33480 16262 Photo Contest 20365 20365 3000 750 6476 1 20230 20230 1000 3219 8917 74075 74075 3000 1750 3219 31655 39624 34451 Client Note 1 Client Note 1 - Notice Re: Contributions From Disqualified Persons Schedule A, Part IV-A, line 27You are required by the IRS to keep this form in your records in case you are ever audited.
