Overview

Mission

Education

What it reported doing in 2025

We host between 2-5 field trips in each season, fall, sugaring and spring. In addition there are two camp programs that come for a day field trip program in the summer. This allows us to welcome about 200-250 students a year.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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.
