Highlights

Coyote Crisis Collaborative, a Scottsdale-based disaster preparedness nonprofit, reported $584,979 in revenue for tax year 2023, a 75% increase over the $334,339 it recorded in TY2022, according to IRS Form 990 data published by ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer.

Expenses for TY2023 came in at $580,158, leaving the organization with a modest surplus after it ran a $98,567 deficit the prior year. The swing matters: in TY2022, Coyote Crisis spent $432,906 against $334,339 in revenue, drawing down reserves. The TY2023 result stabilized the balance sheet, with assets reaching $194,208.

Officer compensation tells a separate story. The 990 shows $2,500 paid to officers in TY2023, compared with $0 in TY2022 and $212,574 in TY2021. The three-year arc suggests the organization restructured its compensation model after a high-spend year.

The nonprofit, classified as a Public Safety, Disaster Preparedness and Relief Services organization under EIN 80-0428796, holds its IRS tax exemption since February 2011. Principal officer Vince Martinez leads the group from 10323 E Sutton Dr, Scottsdale, AZ 85260, according to the GuideStar profile. The organization has conducted Significant Event Readiness Forums across Arizona counties, including a Yuma Airshow SERF that convened 111 military, tribal, first responder, healthcare, school, and government representatives to address aircraft incident preparedness.

Who funds Coyote Crisis Collaborative?

The ProPublica filing data does not break out individual grant sources, but the revenue pattern, contributions-driven, with no program services revenue reported in recent filings, points to a grant-dependent model. A 75% single-year revenue jump of this size typically reflects a new government contract, a major foundation grant, or a federal award cycle landing in the same fiscal year. The Signal has not yet identified the specific funding source behind the TY2023 increase.

The organization's next 990 filing, covering TY2024, will be due in 2025 and should clarify whether the revenue gain held or reversed.
