Overview
Mission
Our mission is to support individuals in recovery from substance use by building community, fostering connection, and providing meaningful outdoor experiences.
What it reported doing in 2024
We increased our active members to 324 members, which was an increase of 208 new members in 2024! At the end of December 132 (41%) of our members had participated in an activity in the last 90 days. We held 118 activities/events in 2024 with 1,584 total attendees. This year, we also brought our mountaineering program back and launched our inaugural Camp Recovery Beyond with 40 participants. We also started working more closely with volunteers to help support our events and increased our focus on enhancing relationships with existing and potential community partners within Western Washington. As a result of those efforts, we now have relationships with 24 community partners that are actively referring people to us or we actively refer our members to for assistance. Community partnerships are cornerstones of our organizational model. They offer support via programming spaces, participant referrals, networking opportunities, and resource sharing. The best community partnerships overlap passions, leverage resources, and enhance impact.
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.
- 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 fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
