What Nemours Plantation Wildlife Foundation does
Programs
The foundation has 3 missions which it supports. These are stewardship of the natural, cultural, historical, and infrastructure to the foundation. The development and delivery of educational programs for all age groups related to the regions natural, cultural, and historical resources, and the scientific study of our natural, cultural, and historical resources.
$685,126 spentThe 9,800-acre property has 2,000 acres of managed wetland impoundments which date back 250-300 years when the landscape was transformed by enslaved laborers for growing rice. This infrastructure of 21 miles of dikes & 50 water control structures are today maintained for managing the historic rice fields as wetland impoundments producing critical habitats for a suite of wildlife species, especially migratory birds. Some of these impoundments are specifically managed for a species of highest concern due to population declines including the black rail. The uplands are managed for both timber production & wildlife habitat. Access to timber stands is maintained by a network of 77 miles of roads. When stands are clear-cut these stands must be prepped for replanting & seedlings purchased to replant. Some forest stands are managed as pine savanna or open woodlands which are maintained by prescribed burning. These tasks require daily work by staff & equipment to maintain.
$248,552 spentThe foundation annually supports several ongoing research graduate student projects which address critical questions to regional wildlife biology, ecology, and management. We engage in these projects with a goal to use the findings to enhance our ability to be better steards of our resources. To carry out its research mission, the foundation provides 3 houses, 4-wheeled drive vehicle, atv, & salary for staff biologist.
$115,597 spentThe foundation also maintains a building used as a classroom for teaching. The foundation provides funding to clemson university and the university of south carolina undergraduate, graduate and doctoral student research stipends.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 $42M to $48M (+14%).
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

6 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 60% 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 NEMOURS PLANTATION WILDLIFE 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.
How concentrated its funding is
NEMOURS PLANTATION WILDLIFE FOUNDATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 23% 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
70% 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 NEMOURS PLANTATION WILDLIFE FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2020 63% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 63% — 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
40% of NEMOURS PLANTATION WILDLIFE FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 42% 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
60% of NEMOURS PLANTATION WILDLIFE 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. Of the $121k that is directly attributable, 75% of it comes from funders outside South Carolina, across 5 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $179k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
