What Tampa Bay Butterfly Foundation Inc does
Mission
Tampa Bay Butterfly Foundation works to protect butterflies and restores their native habitats through conservation, public education and research. The foundation also works to raise awareness of the environmental impacts of non-native plants and toxic chemicals used in landscapes.
As stated on its FY2021 Form 990-EZ.
Program
With a focus on Florida butterfly species, native plants, and environmental education in the Tampa Bay area, Tampa Bay Butterfly Foundation was established to support the conservation of butterflies and pollinators and the restoration of their natural wildlife habitats. By working with university research partners, university interns, providing educational and research opportunities, community outreach programs, and through multi-faceted fundraising efforts, the Foundation aims to elevate public awareness of the importance of butterflies and reduction of harmful pesticide use. All monies collected are used to increase pollinator habitat, provide educational opportunities for adults and children, and support lepidoptera research.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 Tampa Bay Butterfly Foundation Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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.
Where its funders are
100% of Tampa Bay Butterfly Foundation Inc'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. $14k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
