Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Part 1, Line 1: Our Mission and Purpose

“Our passion is getting kids outside! Our goal is to promote and cultivate understanding of and empathy for the natural world, and for the local bioregion - the ecosystem of Putah Creek and the lower Sacramento River watershed - in particular, though encouraging exploration and curiosity, facilitating free play, and guiding children in asrtistic creation, active games, hiking, and quiet observation. We use a variety of gentle, age-appropriate teaching and mentoring methods to facilitate positive experiences between children and their natural world. DFS has a mission to promote environmental justice through acknowledging the Indigenous history of the land and forging connections with the local Indigenous individuals and organizations, and also through offering accessible and welcoming programming, raising money through grants and donations to offer reparations-based scholarships to Black and Indigenous families, and need-based scholarships to economically disadvantaged families.”

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4Our passion is getting kids outside! Our goal is to promote and cultivate understanding of and empathy for the natural world, and for the local bioregion - the ecosystem of Putah Creek and the lower Sacramento River watershed - in particular, though encouraging exploration and curiosity, facilitating free play, and guiding children in asrtistic creation, active games, hiking, and quiet observation. We use a variety of gentle, age-appropriate teaching and mentoring methods to facilitate positive experiences between children and their natural world. DFS has a mission to promote environmental justice through acknowledging the Indigenous history of the land and forging connections with the local Indigenous individuals and organizations, and also through offering accessible and welcoming programming, raising money through grants and donations to offer reparations-based scholarships to Black and Indigenous families, and need-based scholarships to economically disadvantaged families.
