What Mountain Resource Center does
Mission
We engage our community with essential services that empower all people to thrive.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
For over thirty years, Mountain Resource Center (mrc)has served a 1,000 square mile service area in the foothills outside of metro denver, including the high-needs communities of morrison, indian hills, conifer, bailey, pine, buffalo creek, kittredge, and evergreen. Mrc's integrated services approach aligns with that of a typical multi-service nonprofit; this type of organization is deeply connected to the surrounding community and offers a wide variety of services that residents and public officials can trust. ----------------------- continued on schedule o ----------------------

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $1,620,874.
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 2024 to 2025, from $2.0M to $1.6M (−18%).
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 24% · 2018 19% · 2019 26% · 2020 26% · 2022 19% · 2023 31% · 2024 24% · 2025 25%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
95% of MOUNTAIN RESOURCE CENTER’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (60% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 12 funders to 27 funders, grant income rose $686k → $709k.
14 of 60 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 35% 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 MOUNTAIN RESOURCE CENTER’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 60 funders by total. 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
MOUNTAIN RESOURCE CENTER has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 22% 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
88% 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 MOUNTAIN RESOURCE CENTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 41% · 2018 39% · 2019 38% · 2020 31% · 2021 26% · 2022 44% · 2023 33% — diversifying over time.
“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
63% of MOUNTAIN RESOURCE CENTER's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 67% 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
83% of MOUNTAIN RESOURCE CENTER's grant income comes from Colorado funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.3M arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
Against its field
MOUNTAIN RESOURCE CENTER's funding base is broadening — from 12 funders to 27 as grant income climbed.
