01What it does

What Idaho Organization of Resource Coun does

Mission

The mission of the iorc is to bring people together to build grassroots power through community organizing, leadership development and civic engagement, and take action to promote and protect health, safety, dignity & justice for frontline communities, including farm workers.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.

The climate and energy task force is currently on hiatus and had no material expenditures in 2024.

Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).

  1. The idaho immigrant resource alliance seeks to provide relief and resources to our communities in idaho in uniting our efforts by creating a new support system model for immigrant farmers.

  2. The farmworker justice campaign aims to unite directly affected communities, fostering collective empowerment. Our objectives include raising awareness about the impacts of heat, smoke, and pesticides on farmworkers, as well as driving essential policy changes to safeguard idahos indispensable workforce. 2024 deliverables: 1. Six classes for farmworkers on protecting themselves from heat, smoke, and pesticides. 2. Collected about ten stories on farmworkers on how climate change affects their work. 3. Social media around education on being protected from heat, smoke, and pesticides. 4. Provided supplies to farmworkers to protect themselves from heat and smoke. 5. Stopped legislation in idaho that would have provided immunity to pesticide manufacturers.

  3. Ag & food: iorc is dedicated to growing community power amongst latinx farmworkers in the state. This includes providing leadership development programs for community members and developing strategic campaigns to push for policies that benefit those in the community. Goal 1: protect farmworker health. Monitor and strengthen aerial pesticide application rules in idaho. In 2020, two dozen farmworkers were poisoned from one incorrect pesticide application by an airplane applicator. Since then, iorc has worked with those injured and the larger latinx farmworker community to protect and expand on existing regulations in the state pertaining to aerial applications of pesticides. Iorc will continue over the two years to push for stronger regulations. Goal 2: build strong farmworker-led organizing. Iorc will continue to build out its organizing work with latinx farmworkers by recruiting, training, and engaging community members on issues that impact them the most.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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.

3 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 42% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

Left out of every figure on this page: $1.0M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Western Organization of Resource Councils Education Project). These are real filings, and they are not money IDAHO ORGANIZATION OF RESOURCE COUN raised.

From the IRS filings of IDAHO ORGANIZATION OF RESOURCE COUN’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

IDAHO ORGANIZATION OF RESOURCE COUN has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 21% 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

88% 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 IDAHO ORGANIZATION OF RESOURCE COUN.

How long its funders stay

20% of IDAHO ORGANIZATION OF RESOURCE COUN's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y+2y+3y

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $165k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
