Mission

The Center For Reconnecting With Nature (CRWN) has a mission to create pathways for all people, especially youth, to fall in love with nature. By creating positive relationships with the natural world and each other, we promote physical, emotional and spiritual balance. By encouraging connection with the natural world, we spark awe, wonder and new ways to have fun. CRWNs programs counteract the alienation caused by an indoor life and the virtual world; a life removed from its own nature. The Best Experiences Happen in Nature. We are advocates in ethical hunting, falconry, and all outdoor activities that engage us with a connection with nature. We utilize birds of prey and falconry as a method to open the senses, create excitement, awe and wonder, and connect youth and adults to a primal and simple way of life. CRWN has a seasoned staff of Master Falconers and Naturalists that are at the top of their tier in outdoor education and entertainment.A CHARITABLE AND EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATION T

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

People paid by the organization

1 person paid across every filing: current people first, then by total pay from this organization. Organizations counts every nonprofit each person appears on.

Officers and directors, no compensation reported

3 people listed on the returns with $0 (or no amount) in every compensation column: current people first. Hours are as filed on the latest return each person appears on.

People by year

Highest-paid independent contractors

No independent contractors reported.

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Funders of this organization

3 grantors reported grants to this organization, $5,861 in all, tax years 2013 to 2023. Exact: the grantor wrote this organization's EIN. Fuzzy: the grantor wrote only a name (foundations' 990-PF has no EIN field), matched to the same or a near-identical name in the same state; the name as filed is shown. From the latest return for each grantor and year, so amended returns aren't counted twice. CSV

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
