Overview

Mission

Revitalizing the Sonoran Desert through veganic permaculture and gentle conservation, with a focus on supporting at-risk bat species.

What it reported doing in 2025

Education/Networking: helping others gain knowledge to further our mission, creating and sharing resources. Networking with other knowledgable individuals/orgs to help one another and gain collective insight. This benefited many people online, dozens of local people, and a few orgs.

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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
