Programs
Events; The CMC led more than 50 hikes in 2023, including the Lark in the Park, a 10-day series of events in October to celebrate the Catskill Park. An estimated 250 people participated in these events. CMC's annual dinner reached capacity at 75 people and included the Club's issuance of numerous hiking-challenge certificates for those who completed one or more of the Club's hiking challenge requirements. The Club held a mini-golf benefit in June which raised resources to support CMC programming.

Because a percentage of people do not sign in at the trail register books, a more precise estimate cannot be established. In addition to the CMC trails, CMC volunteers helped reopen a state-forest trail of 5.5 miles. The State of New York has not yet placed a register at the two access points so the number of users cannot be established at this time.
$0 spent0% of program spendingAdvocacy; CMC is an active, key member of a 25-organization consortium that meets with state elected representatives each spring and has successfully brought resources to the region we serve and to those who recreate in the region's outdoors, including our 350+ members. Our combined advocacy efforts have: initiated a stewardship and education program a high-intensity trail access points and on mountain summits; funded scientifically-based programs to prevent, combat, and manage invasive species; and set forth plans to increase and connect the region's trail system to disperse and absorb increasing numbers of visitors that have come to the region, especially since the Covid pandemic. CMC is also a member of the Catskill Park Advisory Committee that helps influence policy of land managers and government agencies to target needs for the region's outdoor recreation resources. CMC is also a member of the Forest Preserve Group that specifically advocates for resources to better serve the two (Catskill and Adirondack) Forest Preserves and visitor. The efforts of this group have also proven successful, with specialized visitor-management efforts underway in both forest preserves.

Numerous Facebook and Instagram posts were also issued. CMC also publishes and manages a second Facebook page, Catskills All Trails, which serves as a discussion forum for those interested in and hiking to complete the CMC's Catskills All Trails Challenge. The Club's Facebook page has 5.1K followers, while the All Trails Facebook page has 2.2K followers. CMC's executive director wrote a weekly outdoor column that was published for 11 months in two regional newspapers in 2023. In 2023 the Club undertook a project to completely replace and revise its website. A county tourism grant supported this effort ($5000). The result is a modern, user-friendly website and management platform. In addition to its well-structured content and suitability for all devices, the website supports merchandise sales and inventory and synchs with the finance system Stripe, which itself is compatible with other programs, including Constant Contact and Join It, both of which the Club instituted in 2023.

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 $18k to $21k (+16%).
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.
100% of CATSKILL MOUNTAIN CLUB INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (39% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
47% 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 CATSKILL MOUNTAIN CLUB INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 91% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $49 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. 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.
