What Friends of the Portland Community Free Clinic does
Mission
The Friends of the Portland Community Free Clinic's (FPCFC) mission is to support access to free health care (physical and mental), for low income, uninsured or underinsured adults. The Friends meets this mission through raising and distributing funds and building public awareness about the work of the Portland Community Free Clinic and other programs that provide free health care.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

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 2024 to 2025, from $516k to $883k (+71%).
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: 2021 0% · 2022 0% · 2023 0% · 2024 15% · 2025 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
96% of FRIENDS OF THE PORTLAND COMMUNITY FREE CLINIC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (57% for the typical peer).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
65% 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 THE PORTLAND COMMUNITY FREE CLINIC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2020 50% · 2021 66% · 2022 41% · 2023 52% — 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
40% of FRIENDS OF THE PORTLAND COMMUNITY FREE CLINIC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 54% 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
53% of FRIENDS OF THE PORTLAND COMMUNITY FREE CLINIC'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 $203k that is directly attributable, 70% of it comes from Maine funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
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.
