Overview
Mission
To guide youth towards broader perspectives and self-discovery through adventures in the great outdoors
What it reported doing in 2016
The primary purpose of the great outdoors project is to provide outdoor, out of city, recreational activities for disadvantaged youth
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
