Overview
Mission
We are a movement that brings people together to address the environmental, structural, cultural and spiritual issues confronting the Greater Everglades of Florida by inspiring adults and children while raising awareness to our community leaders through organizing positive civic engagement at the local, regional, national and global levels.
What it reported doing in 2025
Clean ups: Coordinating community gatherings to remove litter from the bufferzone of the urban boundary and the Everglades. Approximately 200 volunteers annually, 100 tons of toxic materials prevented from entering the water and soil.
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
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
