Overview
Mission
The mission of park city conservation association is to enable people to lead sustainable lives.
What it reported doing in 2024
Park city conservation association serves as a drop-off point for recyclables, including aluminum cans, corrugated cardboard, eps packing foam, all colors of glass, mixed metal, mixed paper, office paper, plastics, e-waste, batteries, cell phones, printer cartridges, jewel cases, and mercury-containing items. Two satellite centers around the area accept glass, as well. Pcca has an education program designed for students in grades k-12, as well as education programs for government, business, and other organizations. This also aims to educate the community regarding re-use options, yard waste reduction and composting, and general sustainability issues. The association has a very large restore program. The program allows unused building materials, shipping, and storage materials to be dropped off at the center to be claimed and used by other patrons. This significantly reduces the amount of waste in the landfill and provides a community thrift store for the sale of wood and other desirable materials.
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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
