Mission

TUSK IS DEDICATED TO WORKING WITH LOCAL PARTNERS TO PROTECT WILDLIFE WHILE MITIGATING POVERTY AND PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT AFRICA. OVER THE LAST 40 YEARS, THE WORLD'S WILDLIFE POPULATION HAS DECREASED BY MORE THAN HALF AND SOME OF THE PLANET'S MOST ICONIC SPECIES ARE ON THE BRINK OF EXTINCTION. FUELED BY THE ILLEGAL WILDLIFE TRADE, RAPID POPULATION GROWTH, AND ECONOMIC INEQUALITY - THE DESTRUCTION OF AFRICA'S NATURAL RESOURCES HAS REACHED AN UNPRECEDENTED LEVEL. THIS THREATENS NOT ONLY AFRICA'S WILDLIFE BUT ALSO THE ENTIRE, FABRIC OF AFRICAN SOCIETY. BY PARTNERING WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS, TUSK IS COMBINING CONSERVATION, EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY PROGRAMS TO MAKE POSITIVE CHANGE - ONE STEP AT A TIME. AT TUSK, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR OVER 25 YEARS TO PROTECT AFRICAN WILDLIFE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. OUR APPROACH IS TO INVEST IN THREE CORE AREAS - DIRECT WILDLIFE CONSERVATION, PROMOTION OF EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY PROGRAMS.THE FIRST PIECE OF THE PUZZLE IS FUNDING 'BOO

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).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

3 people 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

9 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 Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.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

18 grantors reported grants to this organization, $958,156 in all, tax years 2010 to 2018. 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.
