What Corvallis Sustainability Coalition does
Mission
To promote an ecologically, economically, and socially healthy city and county through democratic decision-making processes consistent with our guiding objectives.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Community Outreach, Engaging Volunteers, and Creating an Inclusive Community: As a network of nearly 400 partner organizations (businesses, nonprofit organizations, faith communities, educational institutions, and local government units) and hundreds of individual volunteers, the Coalition provided grassroots leadership, inspiration, resources, and opportunities for collaboration in working on sustainability issues. The Coalition invited the community to its annual and quarterly meetings, where attendees had the opportunity to network and share information about sustainability issues, and numerous presenters among the partner organizations and 12 action teams presented their sustainability accomplishments. The monthly Sustainability Events Calendar also provided opportunities for community members to learn about our partners' activities. The Education Action Team supported educational initiatives to instill sustainability knowledge in students at local public schools; the programs focused on food waste composting in school cafeterias and education on the environmental impacts of plastics. In addition, a donation was made to the Corvallis Public Schools Foundation for the Green…

Over 1,000 new and partially used seed packets were donated and distributed. Five pop-up Vegetable Garden Plant Clinics were sponsored with support from Benton County OSU Extension and Master Gardeners. Also, the team distributed nearly 1,000 copies of the 2024 Corvallis Garden Resource Guide and organized an Edible Garden Tour in NE Corvallis that featured five home gardens, one school garden, and three local artists. Their Neighborhood Planters Kiosks, located at 28 residential and public sites, displayed new educational flyers and event announcements every week to support gardening and neighborhood connections. And, in partnership with Corvallis-Benton County Public Library and Corvallis Community Center, the team sponsored a 3rd successful year of "Cooks and Books", pairing library cookbooks with the talents of local chefs and showcasing a variety of ethnic cuisines. The No Food Left Behind program of the Waste Prevention Action Team continued to…

They expanded the riparian buffer at the Bald Hill Natural Area next to the newly released north branch of Dunawi Creek, while at Starker Arts Pack they continued to regenerate a functional wetland. In addition, at Lamprey Creek in Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Park, the team removed non-native plant species and planted more than 200 native shrubs, trees and herbaceous plants, spread many loads of mulch, and watered young plants during the dry season. The Natural Areas Action Team organized the 15th annual Natural Areas Celebration Week to raise awareness and appreciation of Benton County's natural areas. The Transportation Action Team, which is working to make Corvallis more livable by promoting walking, biking and use of public transit, co-sponsored the 6th annual Open Streets with the City of Corvallis. The event featured a mile of walkable, bikeable streets for people to explore neighborhoods around Corvallis and fun activities for people of all ages. In…

Generous federal and state incentives and rebates are key to the campaign. In collaboration with Seeds for the Sol and Energy Trust of Oregon, 99 home energy assessments were provided to low-to-middle income households and individualized consultations to upper middle- and upper-income homeowners to explore available energy efficiency incentives and improvements. In addition, a home energy fair connected community members with contractors and nonprofit organizations about their energy efficiency needs and funding opportunities. Also, with support from local donors and community investors, the team was able to fund solar installations at OSU's Beth Ray Center, Peavy Hall and Richardson Hall. Each Solarize Corvallis project helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while saving the host organizations significant costs on their monthly electric bills. Since 2020 Solarize Corvallis has completed 15 large-scale projects in the…

The 4 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $133,931.
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 2019 to 2020, from $347k to $559k (+61%).
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: 2019 5% · 2020 2% · 2021 20% · 2022 40% · 2023 7% · 2024 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
92% of CORVALLIS SUSTAINABILITY COALITION’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (88% for the typical peer).

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base narrowed from 5 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $179k → $31k.
6 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 CORVALLIS SUSTAINABILITY COALITION’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
CORVALLIS SUSTAINABILITY COALITION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 76% of grant income and the top three 91%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 SUSTAINABILITY COALITION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 84% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 74% — 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
100% of CORVALLIS SUSTAINABILITY COALITION'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 $1k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Oregon funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $226k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
