Overview

Mission

In the forest, by the ocean, we build authentic community to inspire a just and compassionate world.

What it reported doing in 2024

Child, youth and adult camps, retreats, conferences and outdoors school. Over 144 participants served.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
