Kigluait Adventures is a small “family owned and operated” for-profit business.
Kigluait began as our (Christina’s and Richard’s) way to share, teach, and learn through our mutual love for the outdoors, the natural environment, and education.
Initially, we began Kigluait as a Non-Profit. We did this because we felt strongly about what we were doing and had no interest in getting “rich” doing it… We still don’t!
But what we found was that the administrative costs… both in our time and monetarily… of maintaining an official “non-profit” were excessive and really pulling us away from doing the things we wanted to do in the first place- sharing and learning about the environment and education.
So in 2005 we dissolved the Non-Profit status of Kigluait and re-founded it as a For-Profit business.
This has not however changed our views on “getting-rich” doing this- it’s not our goal!
We live a simple lifestyle, with simple pleasures that really don’t cost us very much. Which means we can draw a small salary and put everything else back into the business.
We still operate on the principals of a “non-profit,” and donating time, experience, and resources wherever and whenever we can. In addition, when we have to charge for our services, we do so at the lowest rates we can and still meet operating expenses.
We do this because we believe in the “good” of what we are doing and want to provide for as many learning opportunities, for as many people, as we can. And though money and fees are a fact of life, required in order to sustain our family and our business, we try to limit the impact of our expenses on the ability of students and teachers to participate in our programs however we can. And in the end we are always trying to maintain as low a fee as we can for our programs and projects.
Further, in the spirit of the public accountability that Non-Profits must operate under we offer the following accounting of Kigluait’s records for the 2006-2007 school year:
