Overview

Mission

Our goal is to fulfill the great commission as stated in the holy bible and to share the gospel of jesus christ with youth. This is accomplished by providing young people from all different walks of life an opportunity to experience the majestic mountains of the northern rockies. These experiences will be used as vessels to deliver the good news message of jesus and to encourage those in their faith who have already given their lives to him.

What it reported doing in 2025

Lat45s philosophy is that getting kids out of their normal environment and away from all the modern conveniences of life will allow them to be more open to receive the good news god has given everyone. Participants are challenged physically mentally and spiritually. They also develop an appreciation for the great outdoors and wilderness conservation. Also lat45 adventure trips give participants the opportunity to learn outdoor leadership and teaming skills.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 69% 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

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.
