Overview
Mission
Our purpose is to restore the Historic Petersen Rock Garden and to provide a place for the public and community to enjoy the rock monuments, museum and grounds and to host educational and cultural events.
What it reported doing in 2025
We restored the Rasmus Petersen Farmhouse floors, installed a new roof septic system, and several other improvements to the property were made. We also installed a new roof for the old homestead bldg. and removed metal and junk from the property, completed a septic system evaluation and design for the future.
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.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
