Overview

Mission

The Friends for the Abbott Marshlands promotes the appreciation of the environmental richness and cultural history of the Abbott Marshlands through stewardship, outdoor experiences, science, education, art and history.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, the Friends for the Abbott Marshlands offered over 200 Public Programs with a total attendance of over 3800 people. Most programs were free of charge and they included educational trail walks, community gatherings, art programs and exhibit openings, and special guest speaker presentations. Major efforts were made in 2025 to reach new audiences, with programming that invited the local communities into the Abbott Marshlands in novel ways.

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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration and liabilities are high compared with assets.
