Summary of the Filing
Where the work happens
Land Stewardship
Independence Conservancy is one of PAs 90 land trusts working to preserve open space and natural places for future generations. We have protected 52 acres by conservation easement and 47 acres by fee ownership. These lands help to preserve the rural character and environmental well-being of the Raccoon Creek watershed.
Environmental Education
Independence Conservancy conducts seasonal tours and events at Rocky Bend Nature Preserve where all are welcome to learn about trees, wildlife, watersheds,geology and local history. The Conservancy promotes passive treatment to restore streams impaired by abandoned coal mine drainage.
Community Tire Collections
Provide convenient and economic solution to the problem of what to do with waste tires. Since 2004 have processed and properly disposed of over 66,000 scrap tires from municipal collections in Beaver and Allegheny counties. Seven public collections are offered each year in cooperation with host municipal governments.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More
The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.
Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.
We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.
Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.
If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.
Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.
If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
