Overview

Mission

Friends of Majestic View Nature Center, Inc. is organized exclusively for charitable, religious, educational and scientific purposes, including, for such purposes, the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations described under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or corresponding section of any future federal tax code.

What it reported doing in 2025

During 2025 we held two fundraising events to help raise funds to support Majestic View Nature Centers construction of a new classroom planned for 2026. We raised $3,790 for this purpose. In addition we participated in local community events to connect with the community and make them aware of our goals.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
