Overview
Mission
Bagosendaan was created to help older children and teens to become successful adults by promoting learning and emotional growth through education and mentors. We assist youth within the White Earth Reservation without regard to gender or ethnicity. We accomplish this by providing education and connection to culture in meetings and talking circles as well as developing competency and self-esteem through horse back riding.
What it reported doing in 2025
In 2023 24 youth participated in horseback rides, parades, county fairs, trips, and talking circles on 107 occasions and 149 youth and local residents participated in three educational speaker venues hosted by the program.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 72% for direct work, and 28% for member benefits.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
