What Expeditions in Education Inc does
Mission
Our mission is to encourage educators to engage students in thoughtful, real-world problems that challenge our world today using the national parks and the united nations sustainable development goals as inspiration. Our goal is to integrate outdoor learning via the national parks with real world problems utilizing tools such as the un global goals. We are the premiere organization that allows for educators to gather in national parks and solve un global goals that national parks face.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
We bring educators from around the country together to connect, collaborate, and create content. These five-day events happen each summer at different national park sites throughout the united states. Over 250 teachers attended steam in the park. Over 1.25 million students participated in virtual and in-school programs.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $148k to $200k (+36%).
How it's funded, over time

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund EXPEDITIONS IN EDUCATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 70% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $177 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
