What Kachemak Heritage Land Trust Inc does
Mission
Kachemak heritage land trust (khlt) is a nationally accredited non-profit organization formed in 1989 for the purpose of conserving the natural heritage of the kenai peninsula for future generations.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
LAND: Kachemak Heritage Land Trust proactively contacts landowners in priority areas to gauge interest in conservation projects. In addition, KHLT responds to and evaluates opportunities presented for conservation. KHLT works with partners to foster conservation projects, holds conservation easements and owns land for conservation purposes. KHLT is responsible for permanent preservation of land, which requires highly trained staff and sufficient funds to succeed, including defense of conservation easements when necessary.
$460,221 spent$38,545 earned by the program63% of program spendingStewardship: Once KHLT preserves land through conservation easement or by outright ownership, KHLT becomes perpetually responsible to ensure the conservation purposes for protecting the property are followed. This perpetual responsibility requires highly trained staff with proper equipment and the funds needed to sustain this work, including the funds necessary to defend the conservation values in court if needed. KHLT at least annually monitors property under its care and addresses violations of the conservation restrictions when necessary.
$209,721 spent29% of program spendingCommunity outreach: khlt conducts community outreach through multiple means, including social media, our website, public speaking engagements, one-on-one conversations and at community meetings. Khlt provides our kenai peninsula community with information and access to conservation tools designed to meet their needs, as well as includes community members in our stewardship responsibilities in permanently caring for land for which we are responsible. Much of our work is done in deep partnership with other organizations, including governmental bodies and agencies, including our baby salmon live here sign outreach program, our king maker program where we award good salmon stewards, and our fish need land too program co-hosted by kachemak bay national estuarine research reserve.

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 2023 to 2024, from $8.5M to $10M (+20%).
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 21% · 2018 7% · 2019 12% · 2020 27% · 2021 31% · 2022 78% · 2023 41% · 2024 58%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
95% of KACHEMAK HERITAGE LAND TRUST INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (88% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 3 funders to 2 funders, grant income fell $33k → $20k.
5 of 15 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 34% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
KACHEMAK HERITAGE LAND TRUST INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 19% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
62% 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 KACHEMAK HERITAGE LAND TRUST INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 60% · 2018 60% · 2019 100% · 2020 49% · 2021 99% · 2022 68% · 2023 100% — 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
18% of KACHEMAK HERITAGE LAND TRUST INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 40% 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
KACHEMAK HERITAGE LAND TRUST INC draws 78% of its grant income from funders outside Alaska, across 5 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $197k 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. 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.
