Programs
Breathe Oregon NCA continued to partner with Northwest Environmental Defense Fund, the Green Energy Institute, Portland State University Researchers and other partners to identify effective strategies to watchdog industrial facilities in Oregon. The collaboration with science and legal experts expanded to strengthen community participation and advocacy by resourcing communities with technical and legal expertise needed to improve advocacy effectiveness. NCA participation in multiple rulemaking and advisory committees at the state and federal level provided multiple opportunities to engage with technical, legal, and governmental experts and helped inform strategy.
$74,850 spent$70,565 earned by the program27% of program spendingTransportation Justice NCA prepared to hire a transportation advocacy manager and continued collaborations with communities and partner organizations to organize a statewide coalition to push back on the diesel rollback, and became a key member of a national coalition working to protect these rules. NCA became a member of Move Oregon Forward, and was appointed to the State Legislature Joint Transportation Committee Workgroup. NCA also worked with the Portland Bureau of Transportation PBOT, organizing and co-facilitating several focus groups to provide community feedback to pilot a program in freight movement management in the city of Portland. This pilot sought to reduce greenhouse gasses GHG and air pollution through the establishment of zero emission zones.

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 2023 to 2024, from $431k to $590k (+37%).
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: 2020 0% · 2021 5% · 2022 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $21k → $138k.
4 of 18 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 Neighbors for Clean Air’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
Neighbors for Clean Air leans on a few funders — its largest provides 43% of grant income and the top three 69%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
26% 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 Neighbors for Clean Air.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 94% · 2018 59% · 2019 62% · 2020 31% · 2021 60% · 2022 30% · 2023 44% — 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 Neighbors for Clean Air's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 44% 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
60% of Neighbors for Clean Air's grant income comes from Oregon funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $176k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
