Programs
The Hancock Trails Club opened a new trail and bridge to access the Swedetown Gorge and Churning Rapids trails. This was a strategic improvement to move skiers, hikers and bikers off of a private road while improving the outdoor experience.

The grade and turn radius at the bottom of Dam Hill was also improved.
$14,155 spent16% of program spendingDuring 2024 the Hancock Trails Club closed on the purchase of a land locked 40 acre tract that had historically provided trail access for our trail system. This will ensure public access to the trails in the future.

This will improve the reliability and reduce maintenance costs for winter snow bike grooming. The club also secured title to a 2017 Skandic snowmobile from the City of Hancock through a donation.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2022 to 2023, from $203k to $261k (+29%).
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.
88% of HANCOCK TRAILS CLUB’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (39% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
56% 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 HANCOCK TRAILS CLUB.
