What Our United Villages does
Mission
Rebuilding center is, at its core, a climate justice organization committed to making reuse and repair affordable for all, reducing waste and wasteful consumption, and ensuring that our limited material resources are kept in use and accessible to those who need them. We work to ensure our community has access to affordable reclaimed building materials and repair skills education, save low-income residents thousands of dollars, empower people to do their own safe and affordable home repairs, and curb wasteful consumption of new materials. With 40% of greenhouse gases produced by the material extraction, production, transportation, and packaging of new materials, our work to normalize reuse and teach repair skills is more important than ever. We provide countless opportunities for our customers, students, and volunteers to recognize their power to enact climate justice through individual choices to reuse and repair.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Rebuilding center store: our 30,000-square-foot store is a tremendous resource for the reuse of sustainable, affordable materials; and with the high costs of building materials our services are needed now more than ever. It's a treasure trove of portland architectural history salvaged from deconstructed and renovated old homes, as well as new materials from our partners inconstruction and development. We accept more than three million pounds of donated of building materials and home goods per year and offer them for sale to our community, keeping the materials out of the landfill and back into use. From $50 solid wood doors to high-quality lighting for up to 90% off of retail prices, plumbing to antique windows, unique decorative architectural elements to reclaimed lumber, we offer it all at affordable prices to ensure that people can afford the materials they need to safely repair and renovate their homes. We also donate more than $10,000 in materials annually to local nonprofit organizations and schools to help them support our community with their services.
$1,114,526 spent$94,405 earned by the program75% of program spendingRepair skills education: through our repair skills classes and home repair for all offerings, we teach our community how to perform safe, affordable, sustainable home repairs and improvements, and how to maintain their homes. For many homeowners, their house is their most significant asset, but they might not know how to preserve and maintain that asset as a means to build generational wealth. We offer more than 150 classes per year to teach people how to keep their homes safe, sustainable, functional, and in good repair. Students learn skills in basic carpentry, plumbing repair, electrical repair and installation, floor refinishing, drywall repair, and more. Through this work, we build comfort and confidence in repair to save our community money, build economic resilience, keep stuff out of landfills, and empower people to stay in their own homes. The average cost of a three-hour class is $70, and we offer both a racial justice scholarship for black, latinx, and indigenous participants, and a need-based scholarship for anyone earning less than $35,000 per year.

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 2021 to 2022, from $3.1M to $4.2M (+34%).
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: 2021 29% · 2022 9% · 2023 16% · 2024 13%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
82% of OUR UNITED VILLAGES’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (88% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 7 funders, grant income rose $29k → $303k.
7 of 22 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 64% 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 OUR UNITED VILLAGES’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
OUR UNITED VILLAGES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 37% of grant income and the top three 67%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
72% 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 OUR UNITED VILLAGES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 70% · 2018 73% · 2019 67% · 2020 57% · 2021 55% · 2022 47% · 2023 73% — growing more concentrated.
“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
31% of OUR UNITED VILLAGES's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 36% 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
64% of OUR UNITED VILLAGES'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 $258k that is directly attributable, 78% of it comes from Oregon funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $454k 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.
