Financial Report
CRA’s annual budget ranges from $2 to 5 million per year, depending on the timing and scale of projects. Our base operation requires a consistent $1 million per year to support staff and business activities, keep eyes on the watersheds, and engage members and communities. On top of that, small, medium, and large projects start and finish on individual timelines, adding cost – typically $1 to 4 million per year (50-80 percent of the total budget) – and attracting support in the form of grants, contracts and contributions to help pay for those costs.
Few organizations strategically weave as many funding pieces together as CRA does. Diversity in funding is key to ensuring successful outcomes for all of our projects – the shared celebration is a bonus. What is the most important factor in the success equation? You, our great supporters and partners!
CRA’s open-books financial policy means that all information is available to contributors and partners.
