Overview
Mission
Haines Huts and Trails is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to fostering wilderness experiences in some of our region's most inspiring locations by developing and maintaining public use backcountry cabins and trails. We strive to contribute to the Haines quality of life and economy by facilitating accessible outdoor access and promoting community health and well being.
What it reported doing in 2024
Nordic Skiing: Throughout the winter season, Haines Huts and Trails provides regular grooming of community Nordic Ski trails. This includes grooming trails for both the Klukwan and Haines elementary, middle and high school students to use as part of their outdoor education. These efforts ensure safe, high-quality skiing for both recreational users and students. Given the limited daylight and inclement weather of Southeast Alaska, groomed trails provide the people of Haines with the safest option for outdoor recreation, whether they are skiing, walking or biking.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 91% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
