Serving as a resource for other community organizations with respect to implementing such programs.4. Educating others about the barriers preventing or limiting the nature experience and advocating in the community on behalf of individuals with disabilities with respect to the tools available to reduce those barriers.
As stated on its FY2020 Form 990.
Program
Improving access to outdoor nature/wilderness experiences for people with disabilities thru partnering with government and community organizations and educating others about the barriers preventing or limiting such access.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $48k to $16k (−67%).
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. 3 of the last 4 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.
