Mission
The Abington Area Joint Recreation Board (aajrb or "organization") was established by the governing municipal bodies of clarks summit borough, clarks green borough, glenburn township, south abington township and waverly township on january 1, 1972. The mission of the aajrb is to develop plans for acquisition, development and operation of regional recreation areas and facilities; review the nature and scope of existing recreational facilities and activities; and assemble detailed information relative to various sites, etc. The organization is also authorized to undertake specific projects including site acquistion, construction and financing of necessary facilities and the operation when specifically authrorized to do so by the joint consent and approval of the participating municipalities.

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 2022 to 2023, from $1.1M to $957k (−10%).
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: 2017 80% · 2018 49% · 2019 34% · 2020 52% · 2021 44% · 2022 39% · 2023 33% · 2024 39%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

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.
