Overview

Mission

To touch, move, and inspire young people, in partnership with adults, to lead in stewardship of the gulf of Maine and its watershed (an area that stretches from cape cod to the southwestern tip of nova scotia).

What it reported doing in 2024

Development of community-based initiative teams throughout the gulf of Maine watershed via local environmental groups and school systems.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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

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.
