Mission
Promotion of 4-wheel drive recreation, responsible land usage, conservation, and education.
What it reported doing in 2024
The organization promotes off-highway vehicle recreation and responsible land use in the states of ga, al, sc, nc, tn and ky through conservation efforts and education, primarily through trail maintenance and development. The organization's efforts result in an average of $30,000 worth of volunteer hours and materials for maintenance activities on federal, state, and private property, benefitting landowners and the communities at large.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 76% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 85% 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
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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
