Overview

Mission

We have completed 5 miles of trail with three grants from the Idaho Parks Department and our trails have been very busy with walking, running, biking. Every year a couple of fun runs use the trail as part of their race course. These races have up to 50 people participating. Hundreds of people use our trail year round.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Aberdeen Gem Trail Foundation has secured funds through grants and donations to build a five mile asphalt trail for non-motorized use along the edge of our community. These funds are used for maintenance and repair as well. Many people use this trail daily. Every year some of the trail is utilized for two fun runs. Profit from registration fees goes directly to the Aberdeen Gem Trail Foundation. In 2024 a grant was secured to purchase educational signs to be installed along the trial. Asphalt repair was done and handicap access was added to a street that the City of Aberdeen had installed curb and gutter the year prior.

Operating model

Revenue model

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
