Overview
Mission
Advocating for protection of the Loch Haven Chain of Lakes in central Orange County FL.
What it reported doing in 2025
Secured state appropriation in 2023 for study of the Loch Haven chain and identification of potential capital projects which would improve water quality as well as enhance stormwater resilience ie reduce flooding risk. A comprehensive study of the lake basin was completed by St Johns River Water Mgmt District in spring 2025 and since then weve been working with local jurisdictions to prioritize projects from among the 33 potential initiatives identified by SJRWMD in the study.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- 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 reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
