Overview
Mission
As an arm of the Parker County Extension agent office, Master Gardeners educate the public about proper horticultural practices through demonstration gardens, classes, and by answering questions at our office and at public events.
What it reported doing in 2025
Master Gardeners maintain an office with a library which the public can access during operating hours. Over 100 volunteers spent over 200 hours answering 106 in-person inquiries, phone calls, and emails during the year. In addition, our online and social media presence provides online newsletters with a reach of over 20,000.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 86% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- Distribution model
- Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 61% for direct work, and 39% for grants.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
