Programs
Education and outreach programs:Okanogan Land Trust continued its educational programming and outreach-related program work. We held the 9th year of our okaknowledgy educational presentations, featuring speakers from a variety of natural and social history fields of knowledge. Interest and attendance for these programs remain strong. We also held our long-running fundraiser, the ponderosa dinner, to inform, engage, and celebrate our supporters in conservation. The event was successful and well-received.
$14,592 spent3% of program spendingConservation and stewardship:Okanogan Land Trust continued its work to conserve and steward land and water resources. Olt accepted two conservation easements: one was funded by grants from the washington state recreation and conservation office and the national resources conservation service; the other was transferred to olt from its original grantee. We made substanial progress on five additional conservation easement projects; three are funded through state and/or federal grants. We also worked with the methow okanogan beaver project on the second of two projects funded by the washington state department of ecology which, when completed, will result in conservation easements and ecological restoration on a property with important riparian habitat. In total these five projects represent over 4,000 acres of agricultural land, wildlife habitat and priority streams. We also continued to uphold our annual monitoring and stewardship obligations on each of our 35 existing conservation easements, addressing potential violations of the easement terms and supporting landowners in their management goals.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2024 to 2025, from $1.8M to $2.9M (+60%).
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 3% · 2021 12% · 2022 68% · 2023 22% · 2024 41% · 2025 25%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of OKANOGAN LAND TRUST’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (88% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 8 funders, grant income rose $31k → $57k.
4 of 20 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 66% 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 OKANOGAN LAND TRUST’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 19 of 20 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
OKANOGAN LAND TRUST leans on a few funders — its largest provides 62% of grant income and the top three 77%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
85% 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 OKANOGAN LAND TRUST.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 65% · 2018 100% · 2019 78% · 2020 47% · 2021 83% · 2022 75% · 2023 27% — 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
27% of OKANOGAN LAND TRUST's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 55% 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
66% of OKANOGAN LAND TRUST'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 $339k that is directly attributable, 61% of it comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $664k 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. 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.
