What Coquille Watershed Association does
Mission
Coquille Watershed Association (coqwa) works collaboratively with communities and landowners to develop and implement voluntary watershed restoration, enhancement, and community engagement activities that promote healthy and resilient ecosystems and economies in the coquille watershed. Established in 1994 by local citizens concerned about the health of the watershed and its natural resources, coqwa establishes programs in restoration, monitoring, noxious weed abatement, and education that are valued and supported throughout the watershed. Coqwa serves all communities in the coquille watershed which is primarily located in coos and curry counties in the southwest central coast area of oregon. Coqwa funds its many projects primarily from federal, state, and local grants, and contracts including funds from the us fish and wildlife service, us forest service, us bureau of land management, oregon departments of agriculture and environmental quality, coquille indian tribe, and nonprofit such
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Coqwa works with ranchers, farmers, timber companies, coquille indian tribe, civic groups, and the ports of coquille and bandon to accomplish watershed projects. The coquille watershed is a 1,089 square mile area primarily in coos and portions of curry and douglas counties. Watershed projects are categorized into three program areas described below. The restoration program provides habitat for salmon, steelhead, other fish and wildlife, drinking water for the communities in the watershed, and supports agriculture, timber, and recreational uses such as fishing. Many projects address habitat complexity, connectivity issues, fish barriers, water quality, riparian degradation, and erosion issues with the goal of enhancing fish habitat, wildlife resources, while improving working landscapes. The monitoring program includes basin assessments using stream and road surveys. Stream surveys determine habitat quality, and quantity mass loading of sediment into streams. Basin assessments produce projects that have the greatest impact on stream health for salmon habitat such as in-stream wood placement, riparian plantings, fish passage (culvert replacement), and sediment abatement through…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2023 to 2024, from $943k to $1.9M (+99%).
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: 2017 99% · 2018 100% · 2019 83% · 2020 88% · 2021 90% · 2022 87% · 2023 78% · 2024 100%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of COQUILLE WATERSHED ASSOCIATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (94% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $58k → $16.
3 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 51% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
COQUILLE WATERSHED ASSOCIATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 31% of grant income and the top three 74%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
66% 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 COQUILLE WATERSHED ASSOCIATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 92% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 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
51% of COQUILLE WATERSHED ASSOCIATION's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $86k that is directly attributable, 77% of it comes from funders outside Oregon, across 3 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $89k 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.
