Mission

To educate youth and the community at large about environmental sustainability and environmentally sound practices through education, training, advocacy research and incentives with particular attention to the greening of our cities.

The organization runs a large annual educational festival, Boston GreenFest, which was open for free to the public online due to COVID.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
