What Corvallis Multicultural Literacy Center does
Mission
The CMLC is a community-based center that promotes cultural understanding fosters connections and provides essential services such as English Learning Immigration Support and community-led educational workshops. Our focus is aimed towards growing justice and belonging within international immigrant refugee and intersecting communities.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
English Language Learning Courses As one of the primary offerings of the CMLC, English-language Learning courses provide the essential tool for non-English speaking individauls to be able to gain access to building community, vital services, and critical programming. English is a major social determinant of health in the USA and our ELL programming is designed to fit a diverse range of lifestyle and proficiency needs. We currently offer levels from Pre-Beginner to Intermediate and Advanced, as well as casual/general English skill-building through programs such as our Conversation Circles and Conversant Partner Programs. In order to provide as much access as possible to this core service, all CMLC English Language Learning courses are offered at no-cost to the participants, or allow for $0+ sliding scale

This program works to engage and support immigrant, refugee, and international community members wherever they are in their USA residency process or status. Offerings currently include: Citizenship and Naturalization Tutoring Support with 1:1 guidance for exams and documents; a Legal Clinic where participants receive free support for immigration forms and processes, as well as a "no interest, pay-as-you-can" loan program to relieve the financial barrier of application fees for crucial paperwork.

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 2023 to 2024, from $144k to $255k (+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: 2022 26% · 2023 20% · 2024 39% · 2025 44%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
94% of Corvallis Multicultural Literacy Center’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (62% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 6 funders, grant income rose $5k → $116k.
4 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 54% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

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
Corvallis Multicultural Literacy Center leans on a few funders — its largest provides 33% of grant income and the top three 64%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
74% 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 Corvallis Multicultural Literacy Center.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 57% · 2019 100% · 2020 44% · 2021 51% · 2022 51% · 2023 43% — 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.
How long its funders stay
67% of Corvallis Multicultural Literacy Center's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
54% of Corvallis Multicultural Literacy Center'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 $189k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Oregon funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $219k 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.
