Overview
Mission
San Gabriel Mountains Heritage Association supports the work of the Angeles National Forest and San Gabriel Mts. National Monument by staffing one of their visitor centers (Mt.

The organization also supports the upkeep of exhibits and facility maintenance.
What it reported doing in 2025
3,177 students participated in the organization's curriculum-based environmental education program. Mt.

Hundreds of hours of maintenance and upkeep contributed to Mt. Baldy Visitor Center and San Gabriel Canyon Environmental Education Center.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 95% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
