Programs
See schedule o for description. Tug Hill Tomorrow Land Trust (thtlt) is committed to connecting with parents and children, from all walks of life. We know it is important to instill a love of conservation at an early age if people are going to care for the land as adults. To that end, thtlt holds a variety of field trips, programs and events to get people out on the land and experiencing a variety of different recreational activities in a variety of locations throughout the tug hill region. Thtlt also works with local day care centers and summer school-aged programs to present environmental education programs that get kids excited about being outside. Thtlt has produced a field guide for the tug hill region which provides detailed information in a friendly way so people can easily find out more about where they are and what they are seeing. Thtlt ultimately hopes these programs and materials will foster a love of the land and the desire to take care of it for future generations.

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 2021 to 2022, from $2.2M to $3.8M (+69%).

TUG HILL TOMORROW LAND TRUST leans on a few funders — its largest provides 31% of grant income and the top three 67%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
79% 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 TUG HILL TOMORROW LAND TRUST.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 53% · 2018 52% · 2019 46% · 2020 50% · 2021 31% · 2022 57% · 2023 49% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $453k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
