01What it does

What Methow Valley Trails Collaborative does

Mission

Enhancing sustainable trail experiences in the Methow Valley.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Facilitate collaborative trail improvements: MVTC responded to a staffing crisis at the United States Forest Service by hiring a professional trail crew to maintain public access trails on lands managed by the Methow Valley Ranger District. Our professional crew maintained over 200 miles of trail and assisted with a trail bridge replacement. Additionally, MVTC continued our commitment to volunteer coordination to connect the community to public lands stewardship. We hosted trail work parties and campground cleanups throughout the summer field season. Our work parties resulted in over 2,500 person-hours of volunteer public lands stewardship in 2025.

    75% of program spending
  2. Build and strengthen relationships with trail managers and advocates: The Trails Collaborative hosted six meetings open to the public in which relevant trail issues were discussed and timely solutions were suggested. The organization continued our working group to assist the United States Forest Service and Okanogan County in identifying and vetting concerns about Wheeled All Terrain Vehicle use on existing roads managed by the forest and county.

    13% of program spending
  3. Act as a community resource for trail information: MVTC maintained a free-to-the-public trail conditions page, which included recent maintenance reports, trail closure information, and educational points on responsible recreation. The organization also managed a volunteer trailhead ambassador program to welcome visitors and educate them about responsible recreation on public lands managed by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. In the fall, we hired an outreach coordinator to make educational contacts with recreators on popular national forest system trails.

Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.

3 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 31% 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 Methow Valley Trails Collaborative’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

Methow Valley Trails Collaborative leans on a few funders — its largest provides 51% of grant income and the top three 77%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

49% 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 Methow Valley Trails Collaborative.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $31k 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.
