What Hummingbird Monitoring Network Hummingbird Conservation Networks does
Mission
The Hummingbird Conservation Networks (HCNs) is the expanded non-profit organization built upon the Hummingbird Monitoring Network (HMN) foundation. Notably, HMN had focused its efforts on science-based monitoring and studying of hummingbird populations to obtain important information supporting the conservation of these magnificent creatures. However, to better realize our mission of "Maintaining hummingbird diversity and abundance throughout the Americas," we needed to integrate community-based conservation ideas into HMN's science-based beginning. We endeavor to offer services, resources, and opportunities to help communities across the hemisphere participate in and benefit from hummingbird conservation activities. Our vision is " Helping hummingbirds survive, reproduce, and thrive while human communities benefit economically, socially, and ecologically from their hummingbird conservation activities."
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
RESEARCH AND CONSERVATION: Dr. Sergio Diaz-Infante and Dra. Elsa Figueroa continued the research studying hummingbird/plant interactions and investigating conservation needs for a threatened hummingbird species in Nayarit. We completed work at a high-elevation and mid-elevation study site to understand how hummingbirds and their nectar plants vary across an elevational gradient. We continued working with the El Cuarenteño community with STEAM activities for primary - high school students and collecting seeds for future restoration efforts.

We offered a a short course to learn hummingbird banding and monitoring techniques. We also began a partnership with Limn Research to continue offering high precision tools for hummingbird and all bird research activities. This year, Rafe Copeland, the founder of Limn Research, worked with us to design and develop the next series of tools needed to continue expanding the monitoring programs.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 $354k to $49k (−86%).
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.
88% of HUMMINGBIRD MONITORING NETWORK HUMMINGBIRD CONSERVATION NETWORKS’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $95 → $106.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of HUMMINGBIRD MONITORING NETWORK HUMMINGBIRD CONSERVATION NETWORKS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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.
Where its funders are
100% of HUMMINGBIRD MONITORING NETWORK HUMMINGBIRD CONSERVATION NETWORKS's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $544 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
