Overview

Mission

Protection of Natural Resources

What it reported doing in 2018

The Organization has worked closely with concerned citizens and environmental organizations to protect Georgia's natural resources from unlawful pollution, compel unresponsive government agencies to enforce the law and force industries to remedy serious water and air pollution violations across the state. The Organization's actions have brought about the installation of new pollution controls in Georgia that protect human health and Goergia's natural beauty.

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

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
