Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

LinkedIn profile

Milo Pyne grew up with stories of the Carolina parakeet and the Passenger pigeon. As a young man, he learned about the Endangered Species Act, the Tennessee coneflower, and of course, the Venus flytrap. He also spent memorable times exploring the limestone cedar glades of Tennessee, reading Radford’s manual, and traveling with his father from the North Carolina “mountains to the sea.” These experiences gave Milo an affinity for rare and unusual native plants, and he was fortunate to put that interest to work in a career as a botanist and plant ecologist for The North Carolina Nature Conservancy and NatureServe. His interest in, and love for, these plants in their native habitats has enriched his soul, inspired him to become part of the conservation movement. He served 23 years as a board member and officer of the Eno River Association and more recently as President of Friends of Plant Conservation.
