Overview

Mission

Promote interest in the practice of gardening

What it reported doing in 2024

Community Services: Beautified public and historic buildings in the Boothbay Region of Maine with wreaths at Christmas time and window boxes in the spring. In addition, gardens were planned, planted, and maintained at civic monuments and signs, memorial parks, cemeteries and town buildings throughout the year. Participated in the national Blue Star Marker project to honor veterans. Money was also donated to other IRC Section 501(c)(3) organizations. These activities further the BRGC's exempt purpose of civic beautification and promote civic responsibility and help lower the tax burden on local citizenry.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 65% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 44% for direct work, and 56% for grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
