Overview

Mission

Through collaborative action, we empower individuals and communities to improve the environment and well-being by regenerating ecosystems and reconnecting people with nature.

What it reported doing in 2025

Our organization is dedicated to fostering environmental stewardship and sustainability through a series of interconnected programs that focus on the restoration and preservation of natural ecosystems. Tree is a program, which we call initiatives, designated to planting trees in the community and parks. Blue is our second initiative, which is focused on marine sustainability, beach clean ups and education. Sol is our third program, recently known as rrx, which focuses on connecting people with nature for their wellness and mental health.

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 87% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
