Overview

Mission

Outdoor education adventures' (oea) mission is to provide equitable opportunities for positive educational experiences in nature. Through nature immersion, exploration, and discovery we increase scientific literacy, knowledge of our local natural history and ecology, and inspire ecological stewardship in our communities.

What it reported doing in 2024

Contract and school programs served 1035 youth ages 3.5 to 18 years over 47 days of programs and school field trips. The program's objective is to provide hands-on nature-based enrichment opportunities where youth explore and learn about the natural environment and basic survival skills and build leadership skills while mentoring younger program participants. We served an additional 1240 people at free community programs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
