Overview
Mission
Earth Rising, Inc. is an educational non-profit dedicated to fostering community, education and spiritual growth in a natural setting.
What it reported doing in 2024
We are still recovering from Covid. We have welcomed people back to the land. Programming (educational classes) is in full swing and we begin the work of bringing the land back to a better, usable state.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 62% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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
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 revenue has declined or grown slowly.
