Overview

Mission

Our mission is to build a community-based, self-supporting farm for people with intellectual disabilities in the Rocky Mountain Front area. Our goal is to provide a home where individuals can live healthy and productive lives, while they integrate into the local community in a way that is beneficial for both the community and the farm.

What it reported doing in 2024

Farm in the Dell, Rocky Mountain Front, continues to make significant strides toward building a home for individuals with developmental disabilities. We have recently signed a contract to build our home in the fall! As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we are deeply grateful for the communitys generous support, which has made this dream possible. Over the past year, we have hosted several successful fundraising events, including our second annual golf tournament in June of 2024, which raised approximately $3,000, and our Pheasant Fest fundraiser in October of 2023 , which brought in nearly $40,000. We are looking forward to this next fiscal year to move forward with our plans to fill a necessary void for families who have individuals looking for a long term home where they can find purpose and stability into adulthood!

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 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 program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
