What Friends of Ifcc does
Mission
Community engagement, interim programming, fundraising, capital project planning, and operational stewardship of the Interstate Firehouse Cultural Center.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
City Partnership - Friends of IFCC is collaborating with the City of Portland Oregon's Bureau of Parks and Recreation (PP&R) to revitalize Interstate Firehouse Cultural Center (IFCC). A former firehouse, IFCC was converted to an arts center in 1982 and served as a home for Black arts and culture for decades, but is now too small and outdated to operate sustainably. FoIFCC is currently partnering with the City on a Feasibility Study that will create a path for the building's renovation. FoIFCC is also partnering with the City on a Grant and Residency program for artists to utilize the IFCC building. As part of this program, the Resident Artists host numerous free public/community events at IFCC. The residency program was funded federally via American Rescue Plan Act, which sunset in March 2025. In 2024, FoIFCC raised money to continue this program once federal funds sunset.
$26,930 spent7% of program spendingArtist-in-Residence Showcases - FoIFCC is hosts free public events that showcase visual, performing, and interdisciplinary art work and bring community members together. In August and December 2024, FoIFCC hosted events to highlight the range of creativity among the IFCC Artists-in-Residence. In August, we activated the building with a youth marketplace and hosted a concert in the adjacent Patton Square Park. Approximately 300 people attended. In December approximately 45 people attended the Artist Showcase, which involved visual art in the gallery, and performances in the theater. Events like these are the primary way that FoIFCC activates the IFCC building in order to build momentum for its renovation. Many expenses associated with the December event occurred in the 2025 tax year rather than 2024.

We collaborated with the City on program guidelines, issued the public call, hosted info sessions, and prepared for the applicant review process. Grantees were selected in the 2025 tax year, and monies associated with their grants fall to 2025.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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.

Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $73k to $460k (+528%).
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 0% · 2025 20%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

73% 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 FRIENDS OF IFCC.
