What Central Oregon Forest Stewardship Foundation does
Mission
The central oregon forest stweardhsip foundation was first established as a nonprofit in may 2010. At the time, our sole mission was to provide fund development, fiscal administration, and strategic leadership for collaborative forest restoration groups that aim to restore and stweard forest resources on central oregon's public and private lands, including the deshcutes collaborative forest project (dcfp) and the ochoco forest restoration collaborative (ofrc).
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Cofsf remains committed to integrating diverse stakeholders into collaborative efforts and using and promoting equitable and inclusive practices. Cofsf supports healthy, sustainable forest collaborative groups by providing strategic leadership, science and topical expertise and staff capacity to forest collaborative groups. We also provide fund development, fiscal administration for the deschutes collaborative forest project and the ochoco forest restoration collaborative.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $32k to $117k (+261%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 60% · 2022 86% · 2023 100% · 2024 100% · 2025 120%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
120% of CENTRAL OREGON FOREST STEWARDSHIP FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (75% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $35k → $99k.
3 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 24% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of CENTRAL OREGON FOREST STEWARDSHIP FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
CENTRAL OREGON FOREST STEWARDSHIP FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 53% of grant income and the top three 77%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
32% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund CENTRAL OREGON FOREST STEWARDSHIP FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 61% · 2020 65% · 2022 100% · 2023 45% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
CENTRAL OREGON FOREST STEWARDSHIP FOUNDATION draws 79% of its grant income from funders outside Oregon, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $99k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
