What Hood River County Christmas Project does
Mission
December is a stressful time for people alone or in need of food assistance. Our project alleviates some of that stress by providing extra holiday food that does not reduce benefits from other programs. Those we serve represent about 14% of the entire county's population. More than 93% of funds raised are spent directly on staples for food boxes, gift cards for purchasing fresh food, children's toys and gift cards, and toiletries. With our dual-language online form, more than 90% of our clients register successfully on their own. For language, literacy and access issues, we provide phone or in-person assistance. For clients without transportation, we arrange volunteer delivery to their homes, to the local shelter serving unhoused persons, and to a senior subsidized housing complex. Hispanic board members/volunteers advise regarding serving our latinx community, ensuring foods are culturally appropriate for the holidays.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Provided food baskets, gift cards, and toys to more than 950 households in Hood River County.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2025 to 2026, from $115k to $155k (+35%).
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.
99% of HOOD RIVER COUNTY CHRISTMAS PROJECT’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 6 funders, grant income rose $5k → $22k.
2 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 13% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
HOOD RIVER COUNTY CHRISTMAS PROJECT has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 26% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
53% 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 HOOD RIVER COUNTY CHRISTMAS PROJECT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2020 47% · 2021 55% · 2022 25% · 2023 35% — 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
60% of HOOD RIVER COUNTY CHRISTMAS PROJECT's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 78% 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
62% of HOOD RIVER COUNTY CHRISTMAS PROJECT's grant income comes from Oregon funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $17k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
