Mission
Scenic Hudson brings together people and organizations to conserve rural and urban lands, create parks that connect people with nature and each other, and protect the land, river, and communities at the heart of the Hudson Valley's well-being and vitality. see Schedule O.
Activities or mission (Part I)
To sustain & enhance the Hudson Valley's inspirational beauty & health for generations to come.
-
PROMOTING REGIONAL IDENTITY - We make the Hudson Valley more attractive to residents and employers by helping to create a shared sense of place and stewardship that is recognized far beyond our borders. We protect world-class beauty; conserve family farms that supply fresh food to local and New York City consumers and drive a growing farm-to-table movement; create parks offering recreation and inviting spaces for people to gather; and mobilize residents to speak out against threats to the Hudson River and other irreplaceable natural assets that make the Valley a great place to live and visit.
Expenses $4,474,064 · Grants $350,000 · Revenue $1,571,259
-
STREGNTHENING RESILIENCY - We further climate change adaptation and resilience in our land conservation and community planning work and develop new climate-mitigation policies consistent with our conservation values. We provide guidance for riverfront communities to adapt to and mitigate rising sea levels and other climate-change impacts, and develop strategies for embracing renewable energy without sacrificing core assets - iconic views, farmland, critical habitat, cultural/historic resources - that residents and visiors cherish. We help wildlife adapt by conserving lands containing irreplacebale (and flood-resistant) habitat and migration pathways. We also create and manage our parks to serve as models of resiliency.
Expenses $2,396,286 · Revenue $820,135
-
BUILDING COMMUNITY - We ensure that our work benefits all of the region's residents, urban and rural, especialy as demographic shifts continue. We respond to local concerns in diverse communities by partnering with residents and providing them with the expertise to turn neglected natural areas into safe places to exercise, relax, join with family and friends, and teach children about wildlife. In addition to uniting neighborhoods in a shared purpose, carrying out these initiatives affords much needed skill-building opportunities for teens and has the potential to attract new investment and jobs - the key for revitalizing our cities.
Expenses $1,995,330 · Revenue $836,741

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
