01What it does

What Edge Outdoors does

Mission

EDGE Outdoors is a powerful initiative addressing the health disparities faced by Black, Indigenous, and Women of Color (cis, trans, queer) by dismantling systemic barriers to wellness and outdoor recreation, particularly within snow sports. Our dynamic approach extends beyond introducing snow sports. We aim to revolutionize the industry by creating inclusive opportunities that mitigate health inequities. Through scholarships and accessible programming offered at zero-to-little cost, we empower women to experience the healing power of nature, improve physical fitness, and build resilience and community. We are committed to addressing the discriminatory practices that historically excluded Black, Indigenous, and Women of Color from mountain spaces and recreational activities. By fostering partnerships, providing education, and leading advocacy efforts, we champion a more equitable and just future where all women, regardless of background, can thrive.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2022 → 2023: the base held at 3 funders, grant income rose $3k → $16k.

3 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 59% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of EDGE OUTDOORS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 8 of 9 funders by total. Association, not causation. 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.

How concentrated its funding is

EDGE OUTDOORS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 59% of grant income and the top three 91%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

71% 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 EDGE OUTDOORS.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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.

Where its funders are

59% of EDGE OUTDOORS's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $21k that is directly attributable, 55% of it comes from Washington funders.

Washington out of state home

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $30k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
