What Sleeping Giant Park Association Inc does
Mission
Preserve and expand Sleeping Giant State Park. Most significant activities include printing and publications including newsletters to members, publicizing the park to members and the public in our efforts to preserve this state park and add land to the Park, maintaining the Park's trail network and leading hikes on the trails maintained by the Association, to educate the public about environmental issues, environmental stewardship and nature.
As stated on its FY2017 Form 990.
Program
Print and mail three newsletters to 1,800 members. These educate the public about the hiking trails available to them as well as environmental issues, environmental stewardship, nature, and upcoming hikes in the Park.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income rose $173 → $565.
2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 74% 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 Sleeping Giant Park Association Inc’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
Sleeping Giant Park Association Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 72% of grant income and the top three 99%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
74% 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 Sleeping Giant Park Association Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 81% · 2021 86% · 2022 94% · 2023 88% — 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.
Where its funders are
74% of Sleeping Giant Park Association Inc'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. Of the $4k that is directly attributable, 99% of it comes from Connecticut funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k 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.
