What Community Living Above does
Mission
Community Living Above (CLA) is a prevention coalition that implements prevention efforts in the community. We are dedicated to preventing substance use among youth by collaborating with the community to raise awareness, modify social norms, educate youth and adults, and promote mental health wellness. We do this by engaging, educating, and empowering youth, families, and communities to make informed decisions by assessing the local conditions, developing a community coalition that establishes a framework that strengthens collaboration and supports the implementation of activities that prevent youth substance use/misuse, fosters resilience, provides education, resources, and support, and promotes healthy life choices. Our program is built on collaboration. We are creating a safe and nurturing environment for our youth through evidence-based programs, community engagement, and partnerships with families, schools, and other stakeholders. We believe that working together can empower you

Programs
Program Service Accomplishment 1 - Parent and Community Education In 2025, Community Living Above (CLA) expanded its prevention-focused outreach and education efforts for parents, caregivers, professionals, and community members through newsletters, digital outreach, educational events, and community engagement activities.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2024 to 2025, from $29k to $6k (−78%).
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: 2024 99%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
96% of COMMUNITY LIVING ABOVE’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (82% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income fell $21k → $16k.
2 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 36% 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 COMMUNITY LIVING ABOVE’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
COMMUNITY LIVING ABOVE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 36% of grant income and the top three 85%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
36% 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 COMMUNITY LIVING ABOVE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 88% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 99% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“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
78% of COMMUNITY LIVING ABOVE's grant income comes from Oregon funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $19k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
