Overview
Mission
Children of conservation (formerly named stumpe foundation) was formed for exclusively charitable, scientific and educational purposes. Specifically, the children of conservation supports conservation of endangered primates through contributions to wildlife sanctuaries, educational programs and efforts of such sanctuaries, and scholarship funds for the children of sanctuary workers as well as the workers themselves.
What it reported doing in 2024
In 2024, children of conservation continued to develop the twampane community primary school it built in 2017 in zambia, close to chimfunshi wildlife orphanage.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 81% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as 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.
