Overview
Mission
Creating and promoting collaboration to protect, restore, and maintain healthy, equitable communities, both human and natural, for the benefit of present and future generations.
What it reported doing in 2025
Corporate activities: We currently participate in community activities such as the December downtown float parade, Earthday celebrations with a booth at the local college or a downtown park, and the Saturday market with an educational booth. Over the years we have presented forums on sustainable ways to heat one's home, composting, and sustainable living practices. Years ago, we taught strawbale construction. For many years, we made garden plots available for a small fee so that people in a poor neighborhood could raise their own produce. This stopped when the donated land was sold to someone who did not want to continue our garden.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 91% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and expenses are high relative to revenue.
