Overview
Mission
The Organization's sole purpose is to financially assist the Township of Buckingham defray the cost to purchase development rights from farmers and other large land owners in an effort to prevent further subdivision and development thereby preserving the dwindling local farms and open space and avoiding further urban sprawl within the township.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 88% 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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and assets have declined or grown slowly.
