The arches project encompasses our shelter, housing, and street outreach services, guiding clients from homlessness to stable housing and ultimately self-sufficiency. Our comprehensive approach includes emergency shelter, resource navigation, housing placements, and essential support services aimed at individuals facing homlessness and housing instability in marion and polk counties. During this period, we served a total of 7,105 unduplicated individuals in rental assistance programs. Our energy and weatherization services programs include liheap (low-income home energy assistance program), oeap (oregon energy assistance program), olga (oregon low-income gas assistance program), and oliee (oregon low income energy efficiency). These programs aim to prevent utility shut-offs and reduce the energy burden on households.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $27M to $40M (+44%).
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.

From the IRS filings of MID WILLAMETTE VALLEY COMMUNITY ACTION AGENCY’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 29 of 31 funders by total. 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

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
97% 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 WILLAMETTE VALLEY COMMUNITY ACTION AGENCY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 33% · 2018 36% · 2019 54% · 2020 56% · 2021 94% · 2022 88% · 2023 90% — 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
33% of MID WILLAMETTE VALLEY COMMUNITY ACTION AGENCY's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 45% 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
89% of MID WILLAMETTE VALLEY COMMUNITY ACTION AGENCY'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 $1.9M that is directly attributable, 86% of it comes from Oregon funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $15M 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.
