      <Desc>In 2024, we raised and released over 500 orphaned baby birds from the tiniest hummingbirds to several large great-horned owls. Most recently, we purchased 42 secluded, wooded acres of land so that we can expand operations and create Rhode Island's very first wild bird release center!</Desc>

        <FormAndLineReferenceDesc>Schedule A, Unusual grants received:</FormAndLineReferenceDesc>
        <ExplanationTxt>In 2024, Congress of the Birds (COTB) received two unexpected grants of $100,000 and $110,000 each. There were no material conditions or restrictions imposed by the grants, and subsequent grants from these two donors are not likely or expected. The grants were unusually large in amount, more than double the next largest contribution, and thus could adversely impact COTB's publicly supported status. The grants also were unexpected, made in response to a unique one-time opportunity to purchase 42 acres of undeveloped forested land to use directly in fulfilling COTB's exempt purpose. As a result of these grants (and the land purchase they facilitated), COTB expects to attract significant public support going forward.</ExplanationTxt>
