Overview
Mission
To conserve wild native birds and their habitats in Maryland.
What it reported doing in 2025
The Farmland Raptor Program installs and monitors nest boxes for threatened birds of prey and works with landowners to maintain habitat. In 2025 over 100 volunteers contributed more than 3,000 hours of effort we monitored 174 nest boxes banded 192 raptors and worked with dozens of landowners to maintain habitat.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. 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.
