What Wildfire Collaborative Roaring Fork Valley does

Mission

Our mission is to reduce wildfire risk by identifying, prioritizing, and implementing strategic cross-boundary plans and projects aimed at creating fire- resilient landscapes and fire-adapted communities.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Landscape-Scale Wildfire Mitigation & Fuels Reduction - The organization coordinates and supports cross-boundary, science-based wildfire mitigation efforts to reduce hazardous fuels and improve landscape resilience across public and private lands. Working in partnership with federal, state, and local agencies, as well as private landowners, the organization facilitates project planning, funding alignment, and implementation of treatments such as mechanical thinning, prescribed fire, and defensible space. In 2025, the organization advanced multiple landscape-scale mitigation projects in priority areas, including high-risk wildland-urban interface zones. These projects treated hundreds of acres and were designed to reduce wildfire intensity, protect watersheds and critical infrastructure, and improve conditions for safe and effective wildfire response.

In 2025, the organization conducted more than 300 home wildfire risk assessments and supported the implementation of numerous residential and community-level mitigation projects.

Each line starts at 100 in 2024, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2024, 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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.

1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 46% 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 Wildfire Collaborative Roaring Fork Valley’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

Wildfire Collaborative Roaring Fork Valley leans on a few funders — its largest provides 54% 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

100% 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 Wildfire Collaborative Roaring Fork Valley.
