What Citizens Council of the Sleeping Bear Dunes Area Inc does
Mission
Our vision is for the unique character of our gateway communities and regional natural resources remain undiminished for the benefit of its citizens, visitors, economy, and environment. Our mission is to facilitate stakeholder collaboration to enhance sustainable gateway communities.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
The gateways council endeavors to engage its component villages and their businesses and citizens to discuss the benefits and challenges presented by our growing national lakeshore visitor population. These constituent stakeholders can cooperatively interact with the national lakeshore to preserve the unique character and natural resources of the area. Our intention is to inclusively and transparently encourage and execute planning for the benefit of residents and visitors, the regional economy and the environment. Of great importance in this process is the participation of gateway communities which serve as the access points to the national lakeshore.
The program described on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $48k to $55k (+16%).
