What Kennett Area Trails Alliance does
Programs
Kennett Area Trails Alliance provides organization stability and momentum for completing a 14 mile loop trail that will connect multiple municipalities that will enable people to safely bike or walk in our community, including to schools, grocery stores, restaurants, and workplaces. The trail loop would be designed to meet accessibility standards so that everyone, regardless of income, age, or mobility will have the freedom to access nature and community amenities.
$134,097 spentRed clay park is aligned with Kennett Area Trails Alliance mission of developing places and spaces that make the lives of kennett residents great. It is one of the trailheads for the kennett greenway, which runs through red clay park when it traverses kennett borough. Red clay park will be a critical amenity for users of the greenway. In addition, the project restores the east branch of the red clay creek, which is consistent with Kennett Area Trails Alliance's mission of improving the environment through which the trail travels.

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 2021 to 2022, from $1 to $310k (+31021300%).
Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $25k → $756k.
2 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 99% 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 KENNETT AREA TRAILS ALLIANCE’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
KENNETT AREA TRAILS ALLIANCE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 99% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 KENNETT AREA TRAILS ALLIANCE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 99% — broadly stable.
“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.
Where its funders are
99% of KENNETT AREA TRAILS ALLIANCE'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 $32k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Pennsylvania funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.4M arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
