Overview

Mission

Engaging creative practice to build resilient social-ecological systems that support clean water, racial equity, and youth empowerment.

What it reported doing in 2025

BIPOC Healing Ourselves: We completed our first cohort of Healing Ourselves in November 2024, a healing retreat designed for BIPOC and BIPOC-led. Stay tuned for future cohort announcements. Whether you're taking the first steps towards understanding racial equity and BIPOC-led healing or seeking to deepen your commitment to anti-racism and decolonization, our workshops offer a space for learning, growth, healing, community, and transformative action.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
