Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

By raising awareness about avalanche hazards, we aim to keep people on top of the greatest snow on earth.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

We support daily avalanche advisories that are free to the public. We also offer free and paid avalanche education classes to all user groups. We work with ski areas, SAR groups, UDOT, and mulriple other organizations to reach users.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

We have a popular website that sees millions of unique views per season. We utilize all modes of social media as well as traditional media. We have a strong network in the outdoors community.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

We are offering more classes each year that are always filled. We get requests constantly to present to schools and community groups. Right now we are working to creating a free online video learning center for basic avalanche awareness.

How we listen

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Seeking feedback from people served makes programs more responsive and effective. Here’s how this organization is listening.

We demonstrated a willingness to learn more by reviewing resources about feedback practice.

We shared information about our current feedback practices.

What challenges does the organization face when collecting feedback?

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Caroline Miller

LinkedIn profile

For Caroline, the Utah Avalanche Center’s mission is both personal and professional. Avalanches are the leading cause of winter recreation fatalities in Utah, and thousands rely on UAC forecasts and education to stay safe in the backcountry. The problem matters to her because it’s about saving lives and supporting communities while ensuring people can enjoy Utah’s winter terrain with confidence. She is committed to serving these recreationists—her neighbors, friends, and colleagues—knowing that every forecast and program directly reduces the risk of tragedy.
