Overview

Mission

The purpose of the organization is to preserve a private arboretum which contains the largest collection of woody plants in northeast Wisconsin and to have it open to the public for their enjoyment and education.

What it reported doing in 2020

As a public garden, arbor view will utilize the extensive collection of woody plants to display, study and promote the use of a wide variety of suitable plants in landscape and conservation plantings. The gardens will be available for use as an educational resource for professionals, teachers, and amateur gardeners to learn about adaptable species and varieties and their cultural requirements.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
