What Rim to Rim Restoration does
Mission
Rim to Rim Restoration is committed to nurturing healthy ecosystems and watersheds across southeastern Utah. Our mission is to foster motivation for ecological responsibility in southeastern Utah and reestablish native vegetation for the benefit of wildlife people and sustainable watersheds. We accomplish our mission by collecting native plant seed propagating native plants regenerating damaged and altered landscapes and coordinating among stakeholders and the community to accomplish collaborative restoration projects.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Seed Collection and Increase: Since 2009 Rim to Rim has worked to increase the availability of native seed and containerized plants at our Mayberry Native Plant Propagation Center on the Colorado River. Over the last four years work at Mayberry has shifted from weed control and infrastructure installation to expanding seed increase fields and brainstorming innovative methods for dispersing seed across remote parts of the region. In FY 2025 seed collection work expanded with the National Park Service as well as with the Bureau of Land Management. For the BLM Rim to Rim performed 15 standard Seeds of Success collections and two operational collections and recorded over 40 scouting points. In addition we installed seed increase plots for eight new species that will be viable for collection in 2025. For the NPS Rim to Rim produced containerized plants for use in revegetation projects and also added seed increase plots at Mayberry. Larger seed collections of workhorse species also occurred in 2025 and will continue in 2025 if drought conditions do not persist. Funding for this work is provided on a federal fiscal year so expenses and revenue do not always match.
$172,443 spent27% of program spendingMill and Pack Creek Revegetation with Fire Fuels and Flood Mitigation: Rim to Rim continues to coordinate interagency community-based planning and restoration in Mill and Pack creeks to address fire and flood concerns while also improving wildlife habitat. In addition to working along the creek corridors in town Rim to Rim also facilitated significant stream restoration high in the Pack Creek drainage on U.S. Forest Service land to protect the aquifer underneath Moab. At the end of 2024 Rim to Rim was awarded multi-year funding from the U.S. Forest Service to expand its partner-based work removing exotic plant species along the Mill and Pack creek corridors that create fire fuel hazards and magnify the impacts of flash floods. This portion of Rim to Rims work which also includes robust community outreach continued throghout 2025. Funding for this work is provided on the state of Utah for the fiscal year so expenses and revenue do not always match.

Work in 2024 included managing field crews at various project sites along the Colorado River from the Utah-Colorado border to Canyonlands National Park; hosting collaborative interagency meetings to plan projects; and building strong connections among partnering entities. Rim to Rim also assists federal and state land managers by developing scopes of work managing work crews and conducting long-term monitoring for revegetation projects.

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 2024 to 2025, from $309k to $376k (+22%).
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: 2022 2% · 2023 0% · 2024 0% · 2025 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year

3 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
RIM TO RIM RESTORATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 59% 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 RIM TO RIM RESTORATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 99% · 2023 100% — 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
100% of RIM TO RIM RESTORATION'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $17k 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. 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.
