Overview

Mission

Chariton valley resource conservation and development is a united states department of agriculture sponsored, non-profit organization serving lucas, wayne, appanoose and monroe counties in south central Iowa. The rc&d provides assistance to local communities, counties and organizations to carry out local objectives, related to economic development, community facilities and natural resource conservation.

What it reported doing in 2011

North Shore Trail Project - This trail project is a segment of a much larger trail plan that will connect recreational facilities on Rathbun Lake to neighboring communities. This initial trail segment will connect Honey Creek Resort State Park to Prairie Ridge Park and will provide access to a wide variety of recreational activities that are currently very limited and not always accessible by automobiles. These include wildlife and nature viewing, prairie and woodland exploration, pond fishing, lakeshore fishing and access to interpretive sites. Upon completion of this project, the trail will be owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
