Overview

Mission

Connect businesses, nonprofits and individuals to protect and restore New Jersey's natural environment, assuring a better quality of life for all.

What it reported doing in 2024

Continued building corporate and individual donor base through customized corporate programs and community experiences. Proceeds facilitated continued program growth and supported that of our non-profit partner organizations to promote human and environmental health through environmental management, conservation, research, education and grassroots organizing.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 62% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
