What Anne K Taylor Fund does
Mission
To encourage and assist individuals, commuinities and corporations to conserve, protect and restore biodiversity through sound economic activities
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Anne K Taylor Fund (aktf) thanks to generous support from national geographic's big cat initiative, eden wildlife trust, masai mara wildlife conservancies association, mara angama lodge, and many private donors, the aktf boma team constructs and fortifies predator-resistant stockades for maasai herders around the mara. These stockades, called bomas, protect valuable livestock from wild predators like lions, leopards and hyenas. Because losses of livestock mean loss of potential revenue for the maasai, fortified bomas directly reduce the need for herders to protect their assets by hunting and killing predators.the maasai's traditional bomas are made with wooden posts and thorns. These structures deteriorate quickly and are meant to be reconstructed every few years. Now that the maasai are not as nomadic as they used to be, there is a need for sturdier fences that can stand for longer. Aktf constructs chain link bomas wrapped around pressure treated wood posts and steel corner posts. These structures can withstand predator attacks better than traditional bomas, and they are also easier on the environment, as they use less of the mara's scarce wood.since 2014 we have built 170 of…
$3,286 spent1% of program spendingIn 1999, aktf's very first projects were anti-poaching patrols and wildlife rescues before the mara conservancy took over management of the mara triangle. The primary responsibilities of the aktf and mara conservancy rangers currently involved in the project include patrolling key poaching hotspots around the reserve, removing snares set by poachers, and helping the kenya wildlife service/david sheldrick wildlife trust veterinarians to rescue animals with human-induced injuries. The team also collaborates with national geographic big cats initiative, eden wildlife trust, mara north conservancy, mara conservancy, oloisukut conservancy, mara elephant project, wwf, kenya forestry service - as well as many local community members - to fulfill its mission. Our work to save kenya's wildlife for future generations could not be possible without the help of these organizations, and we are extremely grateful for their collaboration.elias kamande leads, manages, and transports the anti-poaching team. The other permanent members of the aktf anti-poaching team are ole kilonga, ole saitoti, ole sirere, and oloito kinanda, all of whom are local maasai community members. We are grateful to mara…
$206,690 spent$16,591 earned by the program76% of program spendingEmpowering local children is the key to a healthy future for maasai mara. However, most of the schools in the area are underfunded and lack even proper facilities for holding classes. As part of our mission, aktf engages in building facilities, training teachers and promoting hygiene at local schools. At oliashire primary school, aktf built a kitchen and helped parents to initiate a feeding programme. Feeding students at school is critical to their academic success because most of them walk miles and miles to school each morning with only a cup of tea in their stomachs. Nutritious meals at school not only encourage attendance, but they also help energize students to pay attention and soak up their lessons. At oliashire and oloolmongi, we completed eight new pit latrines for the students in each school. These private, clean facilities will help improve the health of the student body by reducing disease transmission in the environment.at nailepu junior academy, upon completion of new classrooms, we were proud to join nailepu families, teachers, and administrators in honoring larry and susan patrick, the generous donors who have made the construction of nailepu possible. We also…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $82k to $241k (+195%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
95% of ANNE K TAYLOR FUND’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (86% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 8 funders to 12 funders, grant income rose $83k → $129k.
4 of 23 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 26% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
ANNE K TAYLOR FUND has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 20% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
46% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund ANNE K TAYLOR FUND.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 89% · 2018 44% · 2019 78% · 2020 35% · 2021 38% · 2022 33% · 2023 19% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
69% of ANNE K TAYLOR FUND's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 70% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
ANNE K TAYLOR FUND draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Montana, across 13 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $186k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
