What Olympia Ecosystems does
Mission
Olympia Ecosystems is established to protect, preserve and restore the diverse ecosystems in and around olympia, washington that include the freshwater, shoreline, tidal waters, grasslands and upland forests. In coordination with community members, local agencies, and other non- profit groups, we will work to ensure that these ecosystems remain vital in perpetuity.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Conservation: Olympia Ecosystems (oe) acquired two land properties in 2025. The total acquisition cost is $405,770, which is included in fixed assets on the balance sheet.
Restoration: Olympia Ecosystems (oe) continued restoration at its largest preserve,the 428-acre deschutes river preserve. Oe smoothed a previously disturbed hillside and planted with native oaks and shrubs. Oe also continued treatment of over 80 acres of invasive thistle and blackberry and maintained over 10,000 native willow stakes and riparian trees to support wetland and salmon habitat. Finally, oe worked collaboratively with partners to plan additional riparian restoration actions and secure funding for future restoration of the area.
$369,511 spent50% of program spendingRestoration: simultaneous to the deschutes river preserve restoration, oe continued restoration at its other preserves: cooper crest, west bay woods, and green cove creek. In partnership with community members, volunteers and the washington conservation corps, oe removed hundreds of thousands of invasive plants across all three preserves. At west bay woods, oe improved nearly a mile of trail and converted an old parking lot into a stormwater pond surrounded by hundreds of native plants to slow down and filter water on its way to the puget sound. At cooper crest, oe designed ans installed an interpretive kiosk in partnership with a local artist and eagle scouts to educate the community on the history and ecology of the site.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2021 to 2022, from $2.6M to $5.0M (+95%).
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: 2022 8% · 2024 14% · 2025 15%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of OLYMPIA ECOSYSTEMS’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (88% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $68k → $170k.
5 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 8% 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 OLYMPIA ECOSYSTEMS’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
OLYMPIA ECOSYSTEMS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 88% of grant income and the top three 95%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 74% · 2019 96% · 2020 83% · 2021 92% · 2022 99% · 2023 62% — 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
63% of OLYMPIA ECOSYSTEMS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% 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
99% of OLYMPIA ECOSYSTEMS's grant income comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $406k 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.

OLYMPIA ECOSYSTEMS runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 1,074 environment nonprofits its size.

These figures are read directly from IRS Form 990 / 990-PF e-file XML: this organization’s own return for FY2025 (financials across 2019–2025), and the filings of 12 funders that report grants to it. “On record” means captured in the filings we have parsed — a funder that does not e-file, or whose grant detail is not itemized, will not appear. Filings run roughly 12–24 months behind. Trends on this page end at FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving; later years are shown and marked, and move no figure.
