**Friends of Sturgeon** is a United States-based nonprofit organization focused on environmental conservation, with specific emphasis on sturgeon protection and habitat preservation. While specific operational details about this organization are not publicly documented under the provided EIN (834348794), similar organizations such as the **Friends of the St. Clair River** and the **Friends of Sturgeon Lake Society** illustrate typical activities in this domain.

### Mission and Activities  
Friends of Sturgeon likely engages in initiatives such as habitat restoration, public education, and advocacy for sturgeon conservation. Comparable organizations run programs like **Sturgeon Science School**, which educates students about threatened lake sturgeon populations through art and science projects[2][5]. These efforts often include community events like **Sturgeon Festival**, which combines conservation awareness with public engagement activities[3].

### Educational Outreach  
The organization may coordinate school programs similar to the **Sturgeon Story Art Contest**, where students create art, poetry, or songs to demonstrate their understanding of sturgeon ecology[2]. Such contests often culminate in events where participants release juvenile sturgeon into restored habitats[2].

### Funding and Impact  
Like other conservation nonprofits, Friends of Sturgeon likely relies on grants, donations, and volunteer support. The **National Wildlife Refuge Association** highlights the role of similar "Friends" groups in habitat restoration, advocacy, and public programming[5]. Disaster relief funding for wildlife refuges, such as the $500 million allocated in 2025 congressional bills, may indirectly support sturgeon conservation efforts in affected regions[5].
