What Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy does
Mission
The Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy enhances the quality of life in the mohawk and hudson river valleys by preserving natural, scenic, agricultural and historic landscapes, in partnership with landowners, not-for-profit organizations, businesses and governments for the benefit of current and future generations.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Land acquisition and conservation - the organization acquires property and conservation easements, either through sale or donation, for the purpose of conserving significant open spaces. This includes the protection of scenic views and vistas and providing recreational opportunities through the creation or expansion of trail systems and preserves. The organization also conserves important natural habitats and corridors for the movement of species and preservation of natural systems. Educational opportunities and public participation in the stewardship of the natural environment are also services provided by the organization. These are offered through volunteer workdays and educational events. Educational events are free and opened to the public.

The outreach efforts consist of the promotion of the conservancy to increase public awareness, as well as enhance the perception of mhlc as the capital region's land trust through public events and educational sessions, communications such as print, electronic media, and news print, and information dissemination through word-of-mouth, person-to-person meetings, and more.

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 2019 to 2020, from $6.6M to $9.5M (+45%).
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: 2018 1% · 2019 1% · 2020 3% · 2021 30% · 2022 9% · 2023 54% · 2024 22%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
94% of MOHAWK HUDSON LAND CONSERVANCY’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (88% for the typical peer).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
53% 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 MOHAWK HUDSON LAND CONSERVANCY.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $657k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
