What Friends of Huddart & Wunderlich Parks does
Mission
The Friends of Huddart and Wunderlich Parks is a group of park enthusiasts and stewards who provide a wide range of programs and events in two historic redwood parks in the heart of the Bay Area. We lead hikes, provide environmental education, showcase local history, and celebrate the unique horse heritage of San Mateo County.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990.
Programs
We enhance youth science education for students in grades K=5 by providning nature-based experienital science education field trips for schools and community-based youth service organizations. This year we served 875 students across 34 trips thanks to the support of our donors and hard work of our naturalists. During the hike, Friends lead small groups of students through the forest. Many discoveries can be found: coyote scat, woodrate houses , turret spider colonies, mother redwood trees. Through their senses, they may experience the smell of bay laurel, the feel of hazelnut leaves, or glimpse a skittish western fence lizard. Naturlists help students connect what the experience to what they are learning in the classroom.

This audience is eager to be out in nature and these activities seeemed to reduce the felings of isolation .

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 $1.4M to $1.9M (+40%).
How it's funded, over time

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
51% 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 FRIENDS OF HUDDART & WUNDERLICH PARKS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 42% · 2018 52% · 2019 52% · 2020 44% · 2021 33% · 2022 29% · 2023 33% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

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.

Where its funders are
50% of FRIENDS OF HUDDART & WUNDERLICH PARKS'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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $658k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
