01What it does

What Global Conservation Corps Inc does

Mission

Global conservation corps mission is to conserve wildlife through education programs and platforms of communities surrounding wildlife and ecosystems that are under threat from human influences.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. 2024 marked the eighth consecutive year operating our Future Rangers Program. This program educates, inspires, and elevates South African youth who live next to wildlife areas to find conservation careers and pathways. We continued to engage with our existing 8 partner schools in the Kruger region, reaching over 4,000 youth between the ages of 5 and 18 every single week. We successfully deployed our first year of high school programming with three strategic high schools. Additionally, we maintained the frequency of our field trips, sending over 1200 students on game drives, safaris, overnight camps, and leadership trips. We continued expanding on our partnerships in the area, working with over 20 NGO's and community stakeholders in the landscape. The high majority of funds were sent through to South Africa in the form of grants, whereby our local partners fulfilled the program delivery and execution of the Future Rangers Program.

  2. In 2024, we doubled down our efforts to develop and scale the Vumba Platform, which brings education into the hands of partner NGO's and the youth they serve. We were able to develop important featured for Vumba including individual skills tracking for students, an integrated dashboard for NGo's, and a seamless way to upload photos and evidence from the field into the main reporting capabilities. We remained engaged with our German based development team (CVC Solutions) to continue both the mobile and web apps. We applied for a Trademark for Vumba with the US Patent and Trademark office, while subsequently worked with the Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta to make sure all legal requirements for ethical and secure data collection were in place. Overall, Vumba was piloted with 8 partners in the region, built with potential to scale into 2025.

  3. In 2024, RHINO MAN launched on major streaming platforms across the world (Apple, Amazon, Youtube, Vimeo) hosted through Bitmax. After 10 years in the making, the film became available to global audiences to learn about our mission and the issues facing conservation in South Africa. To promote the launch of the film, the cast and crew of RHINO MAN traveled to South Africa, the United States, Italy and Canada for local and regional premieres. Having the cast from the movie added major value to audiences, bringing real life stories and education from the front lines of conservation into theatres, board rooms, and universities. All business for Rhino Man the Movie was carried out by the two independent subsidiary companies (GCC Ventures, and Rhino Man the Movie, LLC) that legally perform the worldwide business of licensing and sales for Rhino Man.

Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2020 → 2023: the base narrowed from 3 funders to 2 funders, grant income rose $40k → $135k.

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $99k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
