Overview
Mission
Charity. Laurel for the Patuxent is a 501c3 charity with a mission to protect and restore the environment and to advance a more resilient and sustainable future.
What it reported doing in 2025
We created the Laurel Native Habitats program which allowed 4 people to transform up to 100 square feet of their lawn into a native garden that supports birds, bees, butterflies and other wildlife. We provide the planning, preparation, and plants to convert a section of each participant's yard into a native garden. Participants learn, work, and build a community around native plants and supporting wildlife with each other and with past program members and Laurel for the Patuxent members.
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
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
