Overview

Mission

The mission of Pasture Raised Kids is to nurture the development of curious, creative and compassionate children while honoring and strengthening deep-rooted connections to community, nature and the environment.

What it reported doing in 2023

Our program is a unique concept: an elementary co-op school situated on a working farm. Rather than spending a few minutes a day outside, the students spend the majority of their time outdoors. Immersed in hands-on learning inspirted by the natural world, and guided by teacheres to achieve learning targets based on elementary education standards.

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 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
