|---|---|
| Form 990, Part III, Line 1, Description of Organization Mission: | RBFF's mission is to implement an informed, consensus-based national outreach strategy that will increase participation in recreational angling and boating and thereby increase public awareness and appreciation of the need to protect, conserve and restore this nation's aquatic natural resources. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a, Program Service Accomplishments: | With the help of the Take Me Fishing brand, participation in fishing has increased to 49.1 million individuals in 2017. The backbone of the brand is the TakeMeFishing.org website. Redesigned and launched at the outset of FY17, TakeMeFishing.org now features greater optimization for all screen sizes and formats through responsive design, more prominent state information, how-to videos, and an updated resource center for stakeholders including retention/reactivation toolkits. The revamped Places to Fish and Boat Map includes public fishing and boating spots as well as nearby marinas, license vendors and bait shops. Take Me Fishing alliances help RBFF and select third parties leverage each other's brand appeal and reach a greater number of consumers than they could on their own. The Take Me Fishing relationship with Walt Disney World Resort, which includes Take Me Fishing-branded fishing and boating activities, and Disney Media Group, which includes exclusive Take Me Fishing placements on select Disney Media platforms, reaches a shared target market of multicultural families and drives consumers to TakeMeFishing.org. Other Take Me Fishing partners include the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management and Fishing League Worldwide (FLW). These alliances annually produce more than 1,500 consumer-event uploads to TakeMeFishing.org. National Fishing & Boating Week (NFBW), Free Fishing Days, the George H.W. Bush Vamos A Pescar Education Fund, and promotions of RBFF's list of Top 100 Family Fishing & Boating Spots in America, along with other Take Me Fishing- and Vamos A Pescar-branded developments generate press coverage reaching over 1 billion media impressions. In FY17, Vamos A Pescar began partnering with Carlos Correa, 2015 American League Rookie of the Year, to attract Hispanics to fishing. Correa played a leading role in the As Vamos a Pescar campaign, which encouraged Hispanic families to get out on the water and, like him, enjoy fishing. In 2017, 4.2 million Hispanics participated in fishing, up more than 20% over the last two years. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4b, Program Service Accomplishments: | Built upon previous Wildlife Management Institute efforts, the resource was developed in partnership with the Aquatic Resources Education Association with support from the Angler R3 State Agency Working Group. The 2017 Annual State Marketing Workshop, held in Phoenix, Arizona, attracted the highest attendance of any State Marketing Workshop to-date. More than 150 attendees, including 13 state agency directors or assistant directors, learned about R3 marketing and customer service, and about the results of fellow states' R3 pilot programs. The year's webinar series also helped grow state partners' marketing capacity. Webinars focused on case studies of several states' R3 success stories. FY18's annual state marketing programs together yielded unprecedented results. The boat registration reactivation program alone resulted in 50,000 boat registrations and generated $1.8 million in for the 19 participating state agencies. To spur additional innovation, RBFF awarded its third year of State R3 Program Grants, funding development of new programs in 8 states. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4c, Program Service Accomplishments: | RBFF funded the Recreational Boating Leadership Council's (RBLC) production of actionable R3 training modules, including a video on how to incorporate multicultural messaging in marketing. The video features West Marine's experience in formulating a more inclusive marketing campaign. Another video highlights Freedom Boat Club's efforts to engage Hispanics, using RBFF free materials and guidance to execute it. RBFF partners with industry to facilitate nationwide events and engagement. During National Fishing and Boating Week, RBFF teamed with SouthBend and Fishing League Worldwide (FLW) to hold #ReelFun fishing events at 1,600 Walmart stores. Public relations outreach related to the fishing events produced millions of media impressions. SouthBend and FLW's partnership with RBFF is ongoing, and designed to engage event attendees year-round. Another continuing partnership -- with Discover Boating -- remains strong. This year, it resulted in almost 140,000 consumer referrals from TakeMeFishing.org properties to DiscoverBoating.com. Industry support for the George H.W. Bush Vamos A Pescar Education Fund continued in FY18 with a Bass Pro Shops donation of $50,000. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a | Twenty-two members of the Foundation's Board of Directors are appointed by certain organizations whose purposes relate to recreational boating and fishing. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | The 990 will be reviewed in detail by the President and the Vice President of Finance & Administration. It will then be posted to a web portal for review by the full Board of Directors prior to filing. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | Conflict of interest disclosure forms are completed annually by all directors and employees. Forms are reviewed by the VP of Finance & Administration to ensure compliance. Board members who have a potential conflict of interest with any board action recuse themselves from voting on such action. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15a | Compensation for the President/CEO is reviewed annually by the Executive Committee of the board of directors. Compensation is documented in an annual review memorandum. Initial compensation for officers and other key employees is approved by the Executive Committee. Annual compensation adjustments are reviewed and approved by the President/CEO. Total compensation for the organization is reviewed and approved annually by the Finance Committee of the board of directors and incorporated into the annual budget which is approved by the full board of directors. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 | The Foundation makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request. |
| Form 990, Part IX, line 11g | Media, Research, Creative Development, Consultants and Temporary Labor: Program service expenses 8,626,336. Management and general expenses 29,756. Fundraising expenses 0. Total expenses 8,656,092. |
| Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c: | RBFF's Board of Directors assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit, including selection of the independent accountant. This process is consistent with prior years. |
| Form 990, Part XI, Line 8- Prior Period Adjustments: | The balance of net assets as of April 1, 2016 reported in the financial statements was restated to correct errors in cash to accrual conversion calculations that accumulated in the Foundation's external financial statements prior to the current Cooperative Agreement with USFWS. The result of the restatement decreased grant receivables and net assets by $4,353,300 as of April 1, 2016. This restatement had no impact on cumulative cash disbursements and receipts as reported to USFWS. |
