What Swedetown Trails Club does
Mission
Swedetown Trails Club (STC) is dedicated to providing the best trail experiences possible at the Swedetown Recreation Area in Calumet, Michigan. Club members work to connect people to trails, nature, and each other through outdoor recreation. The club promotes year-round non-motorized sports by supporting trail use, development, maintenance and related sports education at Swedetown Recreational Area. The STC and Calumet Township work together to provide responsible, sustainable, and positive recreation amenities for all trail users.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Maintain and improve recreational trail system for non-motorized recreational use by hundreds of community members and regional visitors with over 25-km groomed Nordic ski trails, snow bike trails, and marked snowshoe trails in winter and 25 miles of purpose-built single track mountain bike trails in summer. All marked trails are also used for hiking, trail running and nature observation. This year, we created our first universally-accessible trail.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
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 $353k to $414k (+17%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $9k → $73k.
1 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 7% 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 SWEDETOWN TRAILS CLUB’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
SWEDETOWN TRAILS CLUB leans on a few funders — its largest provides 55% of grant income and the top three 77%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
80% 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 SWEDETOWN TRAILS CLUB.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 91% · 2022 100% · 2023 55% — 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.
Where its funders are
69% of SWEDETOWN TRAILS CLUB's grant income comes from Michigan funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $22k 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.
