Overview
Mission
The Friends of Rockland Lake and Hook Mountain is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the preservation of the local history and natural resources of Rockland Lake, Hook Mountain, Nyack Beach State Park, and Haverstraw Beach State Park. The Friends of Rockland Lake and Hook Mountain educates the general public about these parks and helps to protect these public lands for generations to come.
What it reported doing in 2024
Our primary goal is to engage people with these parks in a meaningful way that inspires a life-long commitment to environmental stewardship, scientific inquiry, and to the protection and enjoyment of public lands; in particular, we focus on connecting young people with the parks, especially local youth that have never visited these public lands and ho have little-to-no connection with nature.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
