Overview

Mission

Missoula mountain bike coalition's mission is to promote and create mountain biking opportunities in missoula and surrounding areas through trail building, stewardship, advocacy and outreach.

What it reported doing in 2024

Missoula mountain bike coalition is a leader in the missoula community. The organization ensures the sustainability of existing trail resources, provides sustainable trail building expertise, and serves as a unifying voice for the mountain bike community in the missoula area. Mtb missoula is dedicated to advocating for mountain biking in the region, and embraces this goal as an expert voice in the technical aspects of sustainable trails, through community outreach and events, and through rider education. 2024 accomplishments include further developing mmbc's youth mountain bike library where youth without the means to own a mountain bike are able to check out mmbc's bikes. Mmbc also embarked upon a large scale project developing safe and accessible mountain bike trail systems at marshall mountain park, a 480- acre park near east missoula home to mounytain biking trails, backcountry ski access, trailrunnina, youth camps and more. There are now six miles of multi-use and bike-specific trails.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
