What Truth in Nature Inc does
Mission
Organization purpose and vision-founded in 2009, truth in nature is a georgia corporation and an authorized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We seek to provide our participants pathways for spiritual growth and maturity through outdoor exploration and activities. We desire to partner with single parents as another healthy influence in the process of raising their sons and young men in their care. Truth in nature promotes christian character, healthy self-esteem, working alongside others, and personal responsibility. We understand that promoting these qualities and behaviors will help deter at-risk conduct. Truth in nature accomplishes our goals through a committed group of volunteer mentors who spend time listening, encouraging and supporting.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990.
Program
Mentoring-truth in nature mentors boys from fatherless and single parent homes through our monthly program offerings. Each young man is part of a monthly, overnight, or day only program; where they have mentors present to reach, inspire, support and engage them through their middle and high school years. Truth in nature uses the outdoors and activities such as, camping, hunting fishing, canoeing, archery, etc. As the backdrop for these programs and for them to experience the things that are typically done between fathers and sons done outdoors, that they do not otherwise get the opportunity to experience. Teaching the christian faith-each program is designed for a young man to grow in his walk in the christian faith. Through our devotional time, small group time, prayer time, and man time around the fire, we accomplish this. Positive personal growth-each young man, by having a mentor, will experience personal growth in the positive relationships that they are building. Young men are being referred from at-risk agencies in the communities and are able to fulfill the requirement for the agency and continue in our programs. These programs will result in walking away from at-risk…

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 2020 to 2021, from $213k to $2.9M (+1250%).
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.
97% of TRUTH IN NATURE INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 10 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 10 funders, grant income rose $13k → $143k.
9 of 23 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 38% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
TRUTH IN NATURE INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 26% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
45% 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 TRUTH IN NATURE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 96% · 2018 44% · 2019 53% · 2020 34% · 2021 43% · 2022 45% · 2023 47% — 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
45% of TRUTH IN NATURE INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 70% 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
59% of TRUTH IN NATURE INC's grant income comes from Georgia funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $283k 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.
