What Citizens Committee to Save Our does
Mission
Dedicated to protecting the beauty and wildness of the wasatch mountains.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Save our canyons worked toward our mission in a variety of ways, but generally all programs fit into policy, advocacy, and stewardship. Soc engaged over 50,000 people through our newsletters and website, social media and organizing several events. We collaborate with and sit on councils with several different governmental agencies to be the voice of for the protection of the wasatch mountains. We led dozens of stewardship projects to give back to this place by cleaning up roadways, partnering on fuels and climate projects, pulling invasive weeds, and maintaining trails. Last, but not least, we lead education programs to introduce urban youth to the natural systems and recreation opportunities in the wasatch. All of this work is to help maintain the wild character, watershed, and dispersed recreation of this heavily used range.

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $297,674.
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $758k to $883k (+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.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 18%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left
48% 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 CITIZENS COMMITTEE TO SAVE OUR.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 30% · 2018 30% · 2019 18% · 2020 25% · 2021 17% · 2022 26% · 2023 21% — diversifying over time.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $333k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
