The "True Cost Per Trip" KPI is somewhat skewed because the "total operating expense" include a portion of the farm, but there are other things that can contribute to running that other than field trips and camps. For example: produce sales, corporate programs, sponsorships, etc. However, it gets us a really solid Cost/Hour of Education.
In the Farm Business Model, we consider all those ancillary revenues first (including camp profits) and then allocate the remaining costs of the farm across field trips programs. From that, we get the following, more defensible number, which we use for grant allocations:
Fully Loaded Cost Per Trip $1,350
Cost Per Student (est.) $45
Cost/Hour of Education $15
Another useful statistic, from the Unmet Need calculations:
Unfunded Need Per Trip ($669)
Unfunded Need Per Student ($22)
