What Shasta Land Trust does
Mission
Conserve the beauty, character, and diversity of significant lands in far northern california. Currently Shasta Land Trust holds conservation easements that permanently protect about 66,000 acres of land.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Shasta Land Trust (slt) works to permanently protect lands in and around shasta county with conservation easements. Vast expanses of habitat for fish, wildlife, and plants are protected as intact ecosystems and thousands of acres of open space will never see development as a result of slt easements. Slt is accredited by the land trust accreditation commission, and continues to focus on completing conservation easements. Slt provides conservation education for the community and provides events where community members learn about environmental achievements and projects in and around shasta county.

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 2022 to 2023, from $1.7M to $3.3M (+92%).
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: 2019 23% · 2020 32% · 2021 8% · 2022 49% · 2023 60% · 2024 11% · 2025 46%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
84% of SHASTA LAND TRUST’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (88% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $16k → $927k.
2 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% 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 SHASTA LAND TRUST’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
SHASTA LAND TRUST leans on a few funders — its largest provides 70% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 84% · 2018 93% · 2019 96% · 2020 67% · 2021 77% · 2022 97% · 2023 95% — growing more concentrated.
“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
80% of SHASTA LAND TRUST'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
99% of SHASTA LAND TRUST's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $46k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
