This interests me a lot. How does a non-profit landscaping company work if I may ask? Do you guys do lots of volunteer/low cost work for certain people? I hope Im not being too nosy. I mostly am wondering because I know a local Mr. Moneybags in my town who happens to have gotten rich entirely off of his landscaping business which he started around 25-30 years ago, but even for him it took an exceptionally long time to actually build up that wealth. He wasnt making a decent living until about 10 years ago and got properly wealthy right before covid
We have the fully non-profit side of our organization which employs and gives job training to disadvantaged youth and young adults with a focus in the green industry (though we’ll provide job training in anything if there’s an interest). They do plantings, brush clearing, and many other things for the community. Then, you have the side of things that I work for, where we offer more professional services and operate more like a traditional tree service/construction/lawn care company. We have our usual contracts and we do a lot of work for the local county as well (it looks nice for them to employ us over others and we have a lot of connections anyways). All of the profit that we make goes into the non-profit side to help fund them along with their usual grants and donations.
