Overview

Mission

Land conservation

What it reported doing in 2015

STEWARDSHIP OF PROTECTED PROPERTIES - Systematic monitoring of both easements and fee properties, conducted routine maintenance of all trails, planned and cleared trails on newly conserved lands bordering the Sheepscot River and Lake St. George State Park.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
