What Kroka Expeditions Inc does
Mission
Kroka expeditions is a non-profit wilderness expedition school based on a year-round, organic farm in marlow, new hampshire. We believe that consciousness and altruistic will can be brought forward through a living relationship with the natural world and by taking our places within the circle of community.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Semester programs - we offer two semester programs for high school and gap-year students: ecuador in the fall, and northern new england and canada in the winter. On both, self-sufficient expeditions are the catalyst for students to come to understand the world and themselves and their inter-relationship in new ways, learning the importance of responsibility and commitment to shared goals while learning ways to be at home in the outdoors. Students may enroll in one or both semesters. Both journeys are based on extended wilderness travel, participation in vibrant community life and an accredited academic curriculum. Students can receive full high school or college credit for participation in a kroka semester.
$412,594 spent$481,115 earned by the program30% of program spendingWilderness program - from june to august, kroka offers a variety of outdoor experiences for students ages 6 to 18. Week-long camp based programs introduce the youngest to outdoor adventure; one to two week long expeditions for older children are centered around a specific activity, such as rock-climbing, canoeing, caving, biking, or wild crafts; two to four week programs offer more intensive outdoor experiences for teens. All programs share a core curriculum that includes living simply, the importance of community, as well as participants developing self-mastery through overcoming challenges faced in outdoor adventure and having the oppurtunity to test their own limits. While students develop a deeply personal connection to the outdoors, the programs nurtures their capacity for self-reflection and empathy.
$652,709 spent$761,107 earned by the program48% of program spendingContract programs - primarily school programs. Working closely with our school partners and the land, we create unique wilderness journeys that integrate expedition travel, community service, farming, crafts, and experiential academic discovery. Living and traveling in nature requires commitment and cooperation within the group. As individuals face challenges, they learn to rely on each other and offer one another physical and emotional support. Under the guidance of kroka staff and the class teacher, students become effective communicators and problem-solvers, and develop a work ethic. These lessons translate directly into daily life in the classroom.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2023 to 2024, from $3.5M to $4.6M (+30%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 5% · 2021 6% · 2023 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
48% of KROKA EXPEDITIONS INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (88% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 7 funders, grant income rose $12k → $155k.
8 of 23 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 46% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of KROKA EXPEDITIONS INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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.
How concentrated its funding is
KROKA EXPEDITIONS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 46% of grant income and the top three 85%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
47% 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 KROKA EXPEDITIONS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 98% · 2019 28% · 2020 71% · 2021 62% · 2022 34% · 2023 81% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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.
How long its funders stay
33% of KROKA EXPEDITIONS INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 52% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
KROKA EXPEDITIONS INC draws 99% of its grant income from funders outside New Hampshire, across 12 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $799k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 states 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.
