Overview
Mission
Greens Bayou Corridor Coalition seeks to benefit the economy and enhance the quality of life for the 500,000 residents in the Greens Bayou watershed through flood mitigation, parks, and trails.
What it reported doing in 2024
Economic Development, Multi-Use Waterways, Parks and Trails - the programs are to provide residents and businesses in the Greens Bayou Watershed with recreational and commercial opportunities.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 60% 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 - 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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
