Mission
To be a coalition and partnership of friends and neighbors, young parents and retirees,career professionals and business owners,residents and community leaders who are united by their commitment to maintain and protect the unique quality of life for all people in the communities of crystal river and citrus county.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
By the end of 2024, the organization had successfully restored over 100 acres and planted over 500k native eelgrass plants. To date, we have also unclogged over 850 spring vents and have removed 500+ million pounds of detrital material and lyngbya from kings bay which is located in crystal river, florida. We have created a public outreach/education campaign using our website and social media to help educate the community about the importance of this project. Save crystal river also partnered again with the crystal river primary school a year-long project where students grew eelgrass and at the end of the year planted their crops in hunter springs

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 2020 to 2021, from $722k to $2.6M (+265%).
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 100% · 2018 99% · 2019 100% · 2020 99% · 2021 95% · 2022 100% · 2023 97% · 2024 100%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of SAVE CRYSTAL RIVER INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (88% for the typical peer).

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
