What Green Mountain Conservancy Incorporated does
Mission
The mission of the Green Mountain Conservancy is to acquire and conserve significant forest lands in southern Vermont. See the full Mission Statement at GreenMountainConservancy.org.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
Green Mountain Conservancy purchased 197 acres in Marlboro, Vermont, and formed the Old Oaks Headwaters Preserve. Green Mountain Conservancy accepted a gift of .75 acre of undeveloped land abutting the West River in Newfane, Vermont, adjacent to GMC's existing Deer Run Nature Preserve.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Nature Preserves: GMP purchased and began management of Deer Run Nature Preserve, Phase I, 287 acres, in December 2019. In 2020 and 2021, Green Mountain Conservancy raised funds to purchase additional land for Deer Run Nature Preserve. 626 acres were purchased in June 2021, and 10 acres were donated to GMC. Another 30 acres were purchased in November 2023. Deer Run Nature Preserve currently includes 954 acres in Brookline, Dummerston and Newfane Vermont. GMC pays property taxes and maintenance of the Preserve. In October, 2023, 115 acres of land in East Dummerston was donated to GMC to form the Canoe Brook Nature Preserve. In 2024, 197 acres in Marlboro, VT was purchased and conserved to form the Old Oaks Headwaters Preserve. Also in 2024, .75 acre of undeveloped land abutting the West River and adjacent to GMC's existing Deer Run Nature Preserve was donated to GMC.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2023 to 2024, from $994k to $1.5M (+53%).
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 0% · 2021 48% · 2022 0% · 2023 0% · 2024 67%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of GREEN MOUNTAIN CONSERVANCY INCORPORATED’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (88% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base narrowed from 3 funders to 2 funders, grant income fell $23k → $1k.
4 of 20 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 51% 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 GREEN MOUNTAIN CONSERVANCY INCORPORATED’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
GREEN MOUNTAIN CONSERVANCY INCORPORATED has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 31% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
59% 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 GREEN MOUNTAIN CONSERVANCY INCORPORATED.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 44% · 2020 100% · 2021 25% · 2022 67% · 2023 58% — growing more concentrated.
“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
0% of GREEN MOUNTAIN CONSERVANCY INCORPORATED's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 35% 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
51% of GREEN MOUNTAIN CONSERVANCY INCORPORATED'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 $161k that is directly attributable, 74% of it comes from funders outside Vermont, across 8 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $166k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
