What Teewinot Institute does
Mission
Research, education, and action that enhance the sustainability, resilience, and transformation of human relationships with the environment.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Cultivating responsible use of wildlands: this accomplishment was achieved primarily by focusing on winter backcountry recreation in the teton range,wyoming. 20 backcountry ambassadors (paid and volunteers) served at key trailheads and in popular use areas where they interacted with the public to answer questions and discuss the need for responsible use and safety. Teton pass has over 76,000 recreationists on teton pass in the winter and an average of 500 daily backcountry skiers. Our ambassadors interacted with over 6000 users. Our organization also ran a free van shuttle service to the teton pass trailheads, which reduced the number of people driving to these destinations and decreasing the congestion at the busiest parking area. These programs were operated in close cooperation with the national forest service and other agencies.
$111,975 spent$112,431 earned by the program77% of program spendingImproving mountain safety: Teewinot Institute initiated a program to develop the search and rescue capacity on pk lennin, a 23,406 mountain in kygyzstan. Over 1000 climbers go to pk lennin each year and historically the mountain has had no formal search and rescue program for. A major accomplishment of this program was to collaborate with local mountaineering organizations and the british mountain medicine association in starting the program. As a part of these efforts, our team was the lead in training locals in search and rescue, doing several mountaineering rescues and also helping climbers sufferring from the effects of high-altitude sickness.
$26,400 spent18% of program spendingConserving wildlands: several programs addressed this focus area. The munger project undertook a public education program that helped lead to the establishment of the munger recreation area in teton county, wyoming. In the artic, teewinot produced a research report on the potential impacts of industrial development on habitat important to caribou. Public education about conservation of the imperiled teton bighorn sheep herd encouraged backcountry skiers to avoid important sheep habitat. And public meetings and education helped inform the public about the proposed plan to expand the grand targhee resort into its surrounding wildlands.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 $118k to $202k (+72%).
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.
50% of TEEWINOT INSTITUTE’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $6k → $65k.
2 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 80% 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 TEEWINOT INSTITUTE’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
TEEWINOT INSTITUTE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 78% of grant income and the top three 94%; 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 TEEWINOT INSTITUTE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 70% · 2022 54% · 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
80% of TEEWINOT INSTITUTE'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 $56k that is directly attributable, 55% of it comes from funders outside Wyoming, across 4 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $229k 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.
