Overview
Mission
The pride initiative promotes personal responsibility in a desirable environment in 42 counties in southern and eastern Kentucky. It links citizens with the resources of local, state, and federal agencies to improve the region's water quality, clean up solid waste problems, and advance environmental education.
What it reported doing in 2024
Abandoned mine land pilot program - pride provides administrative services for projects funded by the abandoned mine land reclamation economic development pilot program through the department of the interior's office of surface mining reclamation and enforcement. This program works with the commonwealth of Kentucky, abandoned mine lands division on administering the federal funding for projects throughout the state's coal region. The intent of the pilot program is to explore and implement strategies to return legacy coal sites to productive uses.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 93% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- 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.
