Overview

Mission

Watershed Protection and Restoration

Watershed education and outreach, including distribution of Uncompahgre Watershed Guide, co-production of annual San Juan Mining Reclamation Conference, community presentations on water quality, quantity and conservation issues, youth education programs, comments on government planning documents, and periodic newsletters.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 91% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
