BIRDS NEST FOUNDATION INC

Birds Nest Foundation is a New York–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit visual media production organization founded by Avis Richards (operating since the mid-2000s and tax-exempt since 2010). It produces documentaries, short videos and public service announcements for under‑represented charities, and runs a grants program to finance promotional videos for other nonprofits. The foundation operates programs that combine media with education and health initiatives (notably the Ground Up Campaign, which has provided indoor edible academic gardens and curriculum to hundreds of classrooms since 2011). Recent Form 990 filings (through 2024) show that Birds Nest operates at a modest scale with annual revenues reported in the low six-figures and net assets in the low-to-mid six-figure range. Birds Nest is active in grant-funded and pro-bono video production, offers a formal grant application process for nonprofits seeking promotional media, and continues to provide both in-person and remote production services to support nonprofit communications and fundraising efforts.
