What Wilderness Integration Project does
Mission
To provide wilderness education through youth backcountry programs and community events centered around love for the natural world. We work to connect human hearts with the everyday wild through adventure, scientific inquiry, storytelling, and hands-on skills. By cultivating wonder and belonging in the natural world, we are expanding the community of people in all walks of life who advocate for the well-being of our planet.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Wilderness Integration Project (dba Wild Society) is a small outdoor education nonprofit based in western Washington dedicated to connecting youth with the natural world through backpacking trips in the Olympic. We cultivate lasting relationships between young people and the wild through adventure, scientific inquiry, storytelling, and hands-on outdoor skills. Our programs provide inspiring wilderness experiences that set youth up for a lifelong enjoyment of the outdoors. Operating entirely on public lands, we help young people discover they belong in these spaces, helping to build the next generation of environmental stewards.

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. 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 $56k to $1k (−98%).
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.
59% of Wilderness Integration Project’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (39% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% 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 Wilderness Integration Project’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
Wilderness Integration Project leans on a few funders — its largest provides 100% of grant income and the top three 100%; 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: 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 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
Wilderness Integration Project draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Washington, across 1 state in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10 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.
