What Ll Foundation Dba Land Learning Foundation does
Mission
The ll foundation's mission is to foster stewardship through outdoor experience, youth education and natural resource conservation. Our goal is to teach the next generation through outdoor education, natural resource preservation and facilitate appreciation for the natural environment.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Streambank and wetland protection: eroding and expanding stream channels can be highly destructive to riparian land and landowners are increasingly finding tillable soil being lost to streambank erosion. The foundation works with partners to develop custom plans for restoring and stabilizing streambanks and conserving the land into the future. Wetland ecosystems are key components to clean water initiatives, help reduce flooding on riparian land, create habitat for beneficial species including insectivores and provide sporting and educational opportunities. The foundation offers custom wetland conservation plans for large and small tracts and specializes in helping landowners who want to protect their wetland. The foundation has assisted many developers and landowners who require clean water act section 404 permits that are required when a project produces unavoidable impact on waters of the united states (streams and wetlands). Through in-lieu-fee advanced credit sales, the foundation ensures projects will meet federal regulatory standards.

The organization over time
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $14k to $2.3M (+17029%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2023 20% · 2024 42%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
48% of LL FOUNDATION DBA LAND LEARNING FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (88% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
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.
Left out of every figure on this page: $276k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The Land Learning Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money LL FOUNDATION DBA LAND LEARNING FOUNDATION raised.
From the IRS filings of LL FOUNDATION DBA LAND LEARNING FOUNDATION’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 LL FOUNDATION DBA LAND LEARNING FOUNDATION'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. $119k 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.
