What Orange Foundation does
Mission
The Orange Foundation provides: 1) College scholarship assistance to local students, and 2) Grants to non-profits in the community, especially for the benefit of youth, senior citizens, and town services.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
In 2025 we distributed scholarships to thirteen local students based on factors such as: academic accomplishments, financial need, community service, and extracurricular activities.

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 2021 to 2022, from $2.4M to $1.9M (−20%).
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.
11% of ORANGE FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (87% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.
