Overview
Mission
The Headwaters Alliance seeks to foster a sustainable environmental and economic future for the URG basin in Southern Colorado through education, stewardship, and resource conservation
What it reported doing in 2024
Leadership & VolunteerismThis work includes hosting a multitude of stewardship projects ranging from hosting vital community meetings with regulator entities regarding cornerstone environmental issues, to volunteer activities such as planting willows and trees, to educational events to better inform our community to the challenges of our region, to connecting adults and children with the natural world through environmental education. Through community partnerships, we welcome new participants and volunteers to experience the hands-on satisfaction of participating in community led stewardship planning and ecological restoration. We worked with more than 60 volunteers in 2022, including students, teachers, senior citizens and others.
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.
