Overview

Mission

Promoting the use of native plants in our landscape

What it reported doing in 2024

We educate our members and general public about the use and benefits of native plants. This is accomplished by conducting workshops (3 in 2024, 49 participants), giving and hosting talks (about 6 in 2024; approximately 150 attendees), publishing a free monthly newsletter (approximately 2000 subscribers at end of 2024), and conducting outreach at various events (8 in 2024, approximately 600 people reached). We also facilitate the sale of books on regional native plants and collaborate with a local author on a regional book on native plant cultivation.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
