Overview
Mission
Lynn Canal Adventures, Inc., is organized exclusively for the charitable and educational purpose, as identified under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, to support and provide wholistic opportunities for youth and young adults to grow into tomorrow's leaders through outdoor endurance endeavors such as, but not necessarily limited to, running, skiing, and snowshoeing.
What it reported doing in 2024
Lynn Canal Adventures served 150 youth through four summer running camps. This includes 49 first-year middle school campers, 37 first- year high school campers, and 10 high school campers who earned the coveted "4-year camper" shorts! We also served roughly a dozen high schoolers through our winter snowshoe running club.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 65% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Liabilities are high compared with assets.
