Overview

Mission

To restore hope and joy to foster youth and former foster youth empowering them to be who they are intended to be.

What it reported doing in 2025

Good Dirt Collective spent considerable time developing programming and establishing procedures in supporting foster children in our community. We completed construction on our non-profit space to allow for art therapy classes, foster sibling events and other gathering geared toward foster youth. We also held awareness events to get the word out about the foster care crisis in our community.

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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
