Overview

Mission

Finding mental and physical wellness through nature and water by providing experiences and resources people need to intentionally utilize nature and water for positive mental and physical wellness.

What it reported doing in 2024

The canyon lake retreat hosts 52 sponsored men and women who come from first responder, military, and/or extended family members from fallen heroes in our past. This event has numerous lakeside/shoreline mental wellness activities such as meditation, paddleboarding, boat-based water activities, music, etc. It covers a weekend of healing, learning, and wellness among the participants who have rarely taken the time to focus and work on their own mental health due to their dedication of serving others through their work and/or circumstances.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 90% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 94% 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

SUPPORTED - 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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
