What Hunters of Color does
Mission
Cultivate equitable opportunities for people of color to participate in the outdoors through conservation and hunting.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Mentorship Program: As a black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC)-led organization, we are aware of the unique barriers to entry that people of color face in hunting. This allows us to create culturally specific programming that you won't fine anywhere else. Our mentorship program is community-based and driven by anti-racism and hands-on experience. Our goal is to meet people where they are at by designing racially literate and culturally diverse curricula and events. Hunters of Color brought 1023 participants into our mentorship program in 12 states.

Our community events include river clean-ups, habitat restoration and education of indigenous forestry practices. You can't care about something you don't know about; by reconnecting BIPOC to the outdoors through hunting, we create passionate conservationists. Hunters of Color facilitated 3 conservation events in 3 states.
$22,942 spentof which $29,750 as grants$29,906 earned by the program9% of program spendingEducation: We educate the general public about the benefits of hunting as it pertains to conservation, the importance of diversity and the history of race and hunting. We also dismantle stereotypes about what it means to be a hunter through authentic representation. We educate our BIPOC communities by teaching them how to hunt. We instill in them the courage to reclaim their ancestral traditions and empower their self-sustenance by equipping them with the skills they need to procure sustainable meat. Hunters of Color educated 12 new state ambassadors to lead outreach in our various communities, and provided DEI training to 2 outdoor corporations and 1 outdoor nonprofit.

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 $299k to $459k (+54%).
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: 2023 0% · 2024 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
62% of HUNTERS OF COLOR’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (18% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year

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

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $61k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
