Overview

Mission

Survival of the whitetail deer in northern Maine

What it reported doing in 2025

We purchase and plant both trees and food plots for whitetail deer. This involves 2000-3000 trees and 50-100 acres of food plots each year

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and liabilities are high compared with assets.
