Overview

Mission

Outgrown is dedicated to bridging the baby nature gap by ensuring that families have access to, support for, and opportunities to incorporate nature into their daily lives, starting from birth. We take an intergenerational approach, recognizing that when caregivers feel supported and confident outdoors, children grow up with nature as a natural part of life.

What it reported doing in 2025

Outgrown's mission is to welcome families from all backgrounds into an inclusive and accessible community of nature lovers where our community digital space and resources are always free.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 66% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
