What Mid-Valley Literacy Center does
Mission
To empower adults with the literacy skills needed to increase economic stability and overall quality of family life.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Mid-Valley Literacy Center mobilizes caring volunteers to provide personalized literacy instruction in accessible settings for immigrants, refugees, and non-traditional adult learners, fostering economic opportunity, family well-being, and civic participation.we facilitated the work of 47 volunteer tutors, who contributed over 4,500 hrs of lesson preparation and instruction time. Tutoring services directly benefitted 210 individuals who took at least one 11-week class (often more) during the year. Mvlc students came from 24 different countries representing every continent except antarctica. We provided graded classes in english and spanish language, adult basic education, preparation for the ged test and us citizenship, and basic computer skills. We also provided on-site workplace english classes for employees of area businesses. Two major fund-raising events during the year raised both awareness of our services and some of the financial support essential to facilitating those services. Donated volunteer services valued at $184,848 were not included in ordinary program expenses.

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 2017 to 2018, from $127k to $81k (−36%).
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 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
73% of MID-VALLEY LITERACY CENTER’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (57% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 5 funders, grant income rose $16k → $44k.
3 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 68% 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 MID-VALLEY LITERACY CENTER’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
MID-VALLEY LITERACY CENTER leans on a few funders — its largest provides 62% of grant income and the top three 78%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
76% 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 MID-VALLEY LITERACY CENTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2020 62% · 2021 65% · 2022 50% · 2023 73% — 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
29% of MID-VALLEY LITERACY CENTER's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 40% 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
68% of MID-VALLEY LITERACY CENTER'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 $39k that is directly attributable, 84% of it comes from Oregon funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $82k 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.
