What Kindred Matters does
Mission
We build strong connections through education, recreation, shared memories and camp. Our programs are designed for siblings who live separately from one another as well as resource/foster, adoptive, kinship, guardianship and other families of connection. We strive to create positive outcomes by shaping strong family relationships.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Sibling camp programs: we continued to service separated siblings through our sibling camp programs. We offered two sessions of sibling camp in 2024. One session was focused on serving young people (and their siblings) who indicated needing additional support than typically provided in an average summer camp program. This included increased supervision ratios (1:1), smaller camper numbers, additional and more robust mental and physical health supports and decreased program duration to support success. Our second session had a large number of campers in attendance, 3:1 ratios and was longer in duration.
$128,359 spent$2,200 earned by the program54% of program spendingFamily camp programs: we once again hosted two sessions of family camp in 2024. This proved to be successful with our first session increasing in attendance from 2023 and our second session being our largest session of family camp to date. Both sessions include continuing education training opportunities for providers (foster/resource, adoptive parents, kin, etc) with childcare provided during training, along with designated time for family connection and community building .

These programs take place in the central oregon, eugene, salem and portland areas. These programs provide opportunities during the school year for siblings who live separately and the families they reside with to come together to connect outside of an office setting and participate in engaging activities to support the sibling and family relationship consistently.

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.
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 $222k to $118k (−47%).
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: 2018 52% · 2019 71% · 2022 67% · 2023 68% · 2024 60%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
97% of KINDRED MATTERS’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $4k → $11k.
2 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 11% 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 KINDRED MATTERS’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
KINDRED MATTERS has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 30% 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
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 62% · 2021 98% · 2022 27% · 2023 32% — 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 KINDRED MATTERS's funders are still giving 1 year after their first grant; 80% 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
KINDRED MATTERS draws 61% of its grant income from funders outside Oregon, across 4 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $11k 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.
