What Association of Memorial Stair Climb does
Mission
The association's purpose is to ensure the success and sustainability of our climbs by providing events with comprehensive administrative support and identification and implementation of best practices in both event planning and operations. Events can choose to be solely a tribute climb or both a tribute and a charity (fundraising) climb event which will raise money for locally designated organizations that qualify as exempt organizations.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

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 2017 to 2018, from $157k to $90k (−43%).
How it's funded, over time

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $92 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
