Overview

Mission

Sustainable Development in Harmony with our Environment. We are dedicated to the wise use of our natural and human resources, joining with others to strengthen our community through measurable and sustainable means for the benefit of all.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Clarks River Interpretive Nature Trail has been established by JPF to allow the community the opportunity to canoe, kayak and fish along this beautiful stream system. This trail provides the public the unique opportunity to view this stream in its natural state with the unique flora and fauna that call this stream home, including swamp rabbits, alligator gar, alligator snapping turtles and the western mud snake. The Clarks River is unique in that it is one of the last unchannelized rivers in Western Kentucky, and the only tributary of the Tennessee River outside the Tennessee Lock and Dam system.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
