What Ecosource Native Seed & Restoration does
Mission
EcoSource Native Seed & Restoration works with and for its members to provide business opportunities aimed at collecting, cleaning, producing, and storing genetically-appropriate native plant seeds. We also develop and implement the most scientifically-based restoration management plans and programs. Our goals are to foster largescale restoration of degraded Sagebrush Steppe ecosystems, help conserve under-ground water resources in agricultural production, and enhance the rural economy of the High Desert region.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Resortation and conservation of seeds and groundwater in the high desert region.

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $141,906.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 $115k to $447k (+288%).
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 43% · 2023 50% · 2024 23%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
23% of Ecosource Native Seed & Restoration’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.
