Overview

Mission

Geercrest farm offers people from all walks of life the opportunity to find their place within a strong family-style working community that honors the natural rythims of the land and it's history. Our programs support the physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of the people it serves, and promotes responsible stewardship of the land that sustains us. We see the farm as a living organization; our programming and our farm must sustain each other for both to reach their full potential. Our mission encompasses four distinct though interconnected functions: a natural classroom, a working farm, a community service and a retreat center.

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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
