What Moab Area Community Land Trust does
Mission
To create the opportunity for permanent affordable housing by preserving land held in trust in Moab city, Grand County, and Northern San Juan County.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
To create the opportunity for permanently affordable housing by preserving land held in trust in Moab City, Grand County, and northern San Juan County. During 2024, the land trust supervised the installation of infrastructure and housing units for a 40-acre affordable housing project in Grand County Utah called Arroyo Crossing. At the end of 2024, there were 46 built and occupied homes, 98 homes under construction, and 5 homes in the predevelopment process. When completed, Arroyo Crossing will provide 300 units for workforce housing including single family homes, townhomes, and apartments. The land trust leases the land for this project to Arroyo Crossing, an affiliated 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, to facilitate this program; this corporation sells leasehold interest to housing development partners and donates the revenue to the land trust. In 2024, the Arroyo Crossing corporation sold leasehold interest for 91 homes, resulting in an abnormally high amount of revenue earned by the land trust.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 $4.0M to $5.7M (+41%).
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: 2021 13% · 2022 15% · 2024 14%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
93% of Moab Area Community Land Trust’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (39% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
