Overview
Mission
To inspire, educate, and facilitate sustainable community actions to assess, restore, and preserve the watershed health of chicken creek, cedar creek, and rock creek in sherwood, Oregon.

This year we worked on watershed restoration, enviromental education and land use monitoring. We finished a long-term project of the platanus natural area/cedar creek. We designed and installed a demostration native plant garden in old town sherwood.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
