As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
TRAIL MAINTENANCE, DESIGN, AND CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS: Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance is celebrating a successful 2024, marking the year with the opening of two new trail systems and dozens of new trails across Washington State. From flow to technical descents, MTB-only to multi-use, these new trails reflect Evergreen's mission to deliver dynamic, accessible, and rewarding mountain biking experiences for all riders. NEW TRAIL SYSTEMS: The Trek at Tehaleh in Bonney Lake and Tennant Trailhead Park in North Bend were Evergreen's flagship projects for 2024, introducing two entirely new trail systems that reflect local partnerships and the diverse needs of Washington's mountain biking community. The Trek at Tehaleh project began in 2018 and opened in the spring of 2024, offering a network of trails in the underserved South Sound area. Tennant Trailhead Park began in 2017 and opened in the spring of 2024, offering a family-friendly local trail system just 1 mile from downtown North Bend. In partnership with the Snoqualmie Tribe, all trails at Tennant Trailhead Park are named in Lushootseed, honoring the land's cultural heritage, local geography, and wildlife, while providing an…

Additionally, 196 participants were engaged through community and school partnership programs. This year, Evergreen's education program updated the instructor certification process to enhance the quality of our classes, piloted new programming, and welcomed over 40 new instructors around the state. On-trail classes were piloted at Raging River and Tiger Mountain to support clinic alumni who were ready to start exploring more advanced terrain but preferred the guidance of an Evergreen-certified instructor and the joy of a group setting. These were well-received, and there are plans to offer more in 2025. Instructor scholarships were distributed to 8 instructors around the state who have dedicated hundreds of hours to the education program and wanted to expand their coaching skills. Instructors used their funds to get certified in Wilderness First Aid or PMBIA (Professional Mountain Bike Instructor Association). Recognizing that our classes and…

We promoted diversity, equity, and inclusion through adaptive mountain biking events and women and non-binary work parties. We fostered environmental responsibility, sustainable practices, volunteerism, and healthy lifestyles within our community. Evergreen hosted 14 core community events across Washington State in 2024. 240 group rides were offered throughout the state, with 984 registered group ride participants. Of these, 61 were Crank Sisters women's rides, bringing together a total of 353 female participants. The 2024 Evergreen Mountain Bike Festival had 687 registered attendees and an estimated 1,500 visitors over the festival weekend.

$468,968 spent20% of program spendingVOLUNTEER TRAIL MAINTENANCE. Evergreen recruits and organizes volunteers to maintain and steward trails on public lands through contracts and agreements with land managers. These trails provide all users the opportunity to access Washington's beautiful places on well-maintained trails. In 2024, we coordinated 665 volunteer work parties, engaging close to 4,000 volunteers who contributed 19,596 hours of trail work on 400 miles of trail. This represents $790,000 in contributed labor to our public trail systems. As part of our commitment to public land and trails, we continue to train and refresh the skills of our sawyer teams. These specialized teams work ahead of our trail crews to clear fallen trees and help bring down trees that pose hazards to our trail systems. Trail maintenance took place at trailheads, sites, and trails within federally managed land, state and county forests and parks, community forests, conservation areas, as well as municipal parks and open spaces. Trail systems included: East Tiger Mountain, Raging River, and Yacolt Burn State Forests, Duthie Hill Mountain Bike Park, Black Diamond Open Space, Squilchuck State Park, Mt. Spokane State Park, Olallie State…

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 2020 to 2021, from $1.0M to $1.9M (+86%).
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: 2017 47% · 2018 28% · 2019 32% · 2020 24% · 2021 32% · 2022 45% · 2023 34% · 2024 39%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
81% of Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (88% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 22 funders, grant income rose $21k → $508k.
14 of 56 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 72% 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 Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 56 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
Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance leans on a few funders — its largest provides 43% of grant income and the top three 59%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
85% 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 Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 76% · 2018 36% · 2019 24% · 2020 68% · 2021 56% · 2022 47% · 2023 39% — diversifying over time.
“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.
How long its funders stay
33% of Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 52% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
72% of Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance'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 $736k that is directly attributable, 54% of it comes from funders outside Washington, across 18 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.9M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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.
