What Oregon Consumer Justice does
Mission
Oregon Consumer Justice (ocj) organizes, advocates, and supports litigation to advance a justice movement that puts people first, ensuring all have the freedom to thrive and equitably share in our abundance of resources. See schedule o.for too long, flawed systems and economic policies that favor profits over people have stood in the way of this reality, with communities of color most often experiencing the most significant harm. Strengthened through responsive and eciprocal community relationships, ocj is building a future where financial and business transactions can be relied upon as safe and where all oregonians know and have recourse to exercise their consumer rights.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Law: we support oregonians confronting unlawful practices in taking legal action and finding justice through our courts. Through our legal team and our network of consumer attorneys statewide, we connect people with the support they deserve - especially those who've had little to no access to legal services. Ocj has provided education and access to resources to expand the pool and increase the capabilities of skilled attorneys practicing consumer law in oregon. Over the past year, we have formed a strategic granting relationship with a multi-faceted consumer justice law firm, ocj law, to provide legal services to oregon consumers. In early 2024, our legal services launched, beginning with direct representation. We have also laid the groundwork for impact litigation (e.g. Class actions) to affect large-scale change.

Our policy internship program, which gives law students hands-on experience in consumer justice, celebrated its first year of impact. Through our inaugural policy cohort and coalition work, we've deepened how we collaborate with community partners to advance pro-consumer policies and community-led strategies to create a more just and equitable marketplace.
$869,869 spent7% of program spendingCommunications & engagement: in the past year, we have been working on creating resources to provide oregon residents with the information they need to understand and exercise their consumer rights. Through face-to-face interactions and survey research, we are deepening our understanding of the challenges oregonians are facing so we can be responsive to creating programs and tools that best meet their needs in creative and engaging ways. In early summer 2024, ocj published our inaugural consumer confidence comic, "purchasing a used car," a resource that doubles as a coloring book. We collaborated with a consumer attorney and a local illustrator to share knowledge and build confidence among consumers navigating the used car buying process.

This was accomplished through a research partnership with the university of oregon through consumer protection grants as outlined in our founding court order. In spring 2024, we hosted more than 70 attorneys, judges, law students, legal professionals, and advocates for our first day-long continuing legal education (cle) event and community-building reception.

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 2023 to 2024, from $5.1M to $20M (+294%).
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.
87% of OREGON CONSUMER JUSTICE’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (93% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $450k → $6.6M.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 OREGON CONSUMER JUSTICE’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.
Where its funders are
100% of OREGON CONSUMER JUSTICE'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $33M arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
