What On River Time does
Mission
On River Time works to provide hope and healing to children of abuse and neglect. We do this by partnering with group children's homes to provide life-affirming programming to the children in their care. This includes fly fishing camps in idaho, life skills programming, scholarships, and mentoring.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Camp: since inception, we have provided 257 campers and their group home mentor with a week long fly fishing camp in idaho on the snake river.this camp is designed to deliver the following impacts: * build self-confidence through teaching them a new skill. * inspire hope beyond their circumstances by connecting them with thoughtful mentors. * encourage them to dream big by discussing goals and plans for their futures. * build trust in positive healthy relationships again through time spent (con't on schedule o) with peers and mentors in team building exercises.
$525,723 spent85% of program spendingSoar: once camp is over, On River Time continues to stay involved in the kids' lives. One way we accomplish this is through our soar programming, which stands for success, opportunity, attitude, and resilience. We offer life skills training for the older kids as they are aging out of the children's homes. This includes etiquette classes, job interview tips and practice mocked interviews, help with resume writing, as well as teaching classes on topics like work ethics and expectations. We also offer support with identifying internships and even job placement. In three years we have served 206 young people through our soar programming.
$80,159 spent13% of program spendingScholarships: since inception, we have provided 67 college and career scholarships to past campers upon their high school graduation. Recipients are recommended by the children's homes directors based on good standing at their homes.

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 2020 to 2021, from $773k to $965k (+25%).
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.
120% of ON RIVER TIME’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (94% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 12 funders, grant income rose $1k → $166k.
6 of 19 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 34% 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 ON RIVER TIME’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
ON RIVER TIME has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 24% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
39% 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 ON RIVER TIME.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 39% · 2021 41% · 2022 39% · 2023 30% — 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 ON RIVER TIME's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 79% 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
ON RIVER TIME draws 53% of its grant income from funders outside Alabama, across 8 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $215k 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.
