On May 3 2024 we partnered with Astrolab Contemporary to launch the Biodiversa Foundation through an art exhibition in Tribeca NYC. The show featured 22 female artists who created paintings and sculptures inspired by sound recordings from our nature reserve El Silencio. The objective of the event was to promote the Biodiversa Foundation on the East Coast of the U.S. and to foster dialogue around conservation through the lense of art. As a result of this event we expanded our network of contacts and supports including the New York Botanical Garden with whom we are currently developing a partnership to help expand the Woods of Memory project. Transfer of beekeeping equipment including hives smokers protective suits and educational materials. This grant was made to further the organizations exempt purpose of advancing science education and charitable work by supporting a local community and the surrounding ecosystem with a designated wildlife reserve. 3375 5039 5039 Maria Teresa Gamez Chair 3 0 0 0 Alba Lucia Morales Jiminez Treasurer 1 0 0 0 Daniel Van Der Post Board Member 2 0 0 0 Mitch Covington Board Member 1 0 0 0 Fernando Arbelez Board Member 1 0 0 0 Jeremy Besbris Board Member 1 0 0 0 James Watling Board Member 1 0 0 0 false false false false false 0 false false false false Jeremy Besbris 9850 Old Jackson Highway Victor ID 83455 2082987499 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 0 0 0 0 60004 60004 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 60004 60004 3883 56121 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 60004 0 0.9353 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Part I, line 10 | Grants And Similar Amounts Paid:, Amount:| Charitable: Beehive and bee keeping equipment for socio-economic and biological benefit paid to Foundacion Biodiversa in Bogota Columbia., $3375| Part I, line 16 | Other Expenses:, Amount:| Travel expenses for programmatic event, $1664| Fees and IRS penalty, $1245| This 990-EZ filing was first attempted on September 19 2025. It was rejected. The IRS had this organization set up as a private foundation. That was corrected in 2024 but this filing was still rejected. Additionally the organization is very small and relied on the Treasurer for timely filing of the form. He missed the May 15th deadline to file an extension. Because we are such a small organization we are requesting a waiver of late penalties.
