Overview

Mission

Guiding the next generation to christ through the outdoors.

What it reported doing in 2024

Cross trail outfitters is an independent, inter-denominational ministry. Our ministry is based on our statement of beliefs, and we are not formally linked with any denomination other than the biblical church - that is, the body of christ. Cto seeks to teach, mentor and disciple young men through life circumstances while preserving our hunting and fishing heritage.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 80% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
