Overview

Mission

The preservation and conservation of all the native species of flora and fauna within the State of Florida, particularly the Florida Everglades

What it reported doing in 2024

Provided 18 campsites to members wishing to spend time in the Everglades and work on conservation projects.

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 100% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
