Programs

These facilities are tucked away in the high peaks wilderness area, one of the wildest and most remote places in the northeast. Providing a variety of lodging options, including those fully accessible for all persons, accomplishes adk's mission of responsible recreation. These further reduce pressure on the backcountry of the high peaks wilderness and provide access for those who may not have developed the skills necessary for backcountry camping.

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 2021 to 2022, from $6.7M to $7.9M (+19%).
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: 2020 10% · 2021 9% · 2023 4% · 2024 11%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
48% of ADIRONDACK MOUNTAIN CLUB INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (88% for the typical peer).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
63% 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 ADIRONDACK MOUNTAIN CLUB INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 45% · 2018 38% · 2019 40% · 2020 24% · 2021 20% · 2022 20% · 2023 22% — diversifying over time.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $883k arriving through sponsors registered in 12 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.
