Overview
Mission
The mission of the grand river environmental action team (great) is to promote the protection and preservation of the grand river watershed through activities and educational programs.
What it reported doing in 2025
The organization conducts several canoe excursions every year to encourage area residents to learn about the river and to gain an appreciation of the river. The general public is invited to these excursions. Typically about 100 persons other than officers and directors attend these events during the course of the year.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
