Mission
Hand In Hand Farm helps rebuild troubled families through agricultural adventures, classroom and hands-on parenting training, and mentorship. We provide vocational training to older youth and young adults. We also assist other nonprofit agencies by helping with their events or through consultation.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Family camp days: Offered 58 days, 7 hours per day. About 20 to 30 participants per day. Entire families, about half of whom have a disabled child, attend during the day. Parents and children get family skills training while performing tasks, playing games, or participating in horse activities. Children also perform tasks as a group with volunteers while parents are getting classroom instruction or participate in horse activities. Many families attend only one or two weeks each year but this face time give instructors the opportunity to observe family dynamics as well as characteristics and needs of individuals. Most of these families then attend online parenting classes as well as receiving individual support long distance and the advice and discussion can be tailored to best fit those participants. About 80 families attend each year with turnover of about 25%. Most families report deep changes which include children making rapid progress in skills academically as well as all other areas of their lives. They also report being less stressed with more family harmony and everyone in the family working toward group and individual goals. Camps are offered without cost to participants.

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 2023 to 2024, from $290k to $389k (+34%).
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 1% · 2023 0% · 2024 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of HAND IN HAND FARM’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $11k → $136k.
6 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 97% 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 HAND IN HAND FARM’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
HAND IN HAND FARM leans on a few funders — its largest provides 66% of grant income and the top three 88%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
98% 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 HAND IN HAND FARM.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 52% · 2020 100% · 2021 78% · 2022 99% · 2023 87% — growing more concentrated.
“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 HAND IN HAND FARM's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 38% 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
97% of HAND IN HAND FARM'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 $11k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Oregon funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $302k 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.
