What Pacific Coast Fish Wildlife & Wetlands Restoration Association does
Mission
Fish, wildlife, and wetlands restoration
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Fish passage and habitat features design projects completing engineered designs for both fish passage at road crossings and restoration of off-channel wetlands and instream features to provide critical habitat for native salmon and other aquatic species. Extensive field survey information is needed in a process to develop engineer stamped 100% designs. Project design to standards suitable for consideration for funding agencies currently requires certification by registered engineers, adding significant costs to develop projects. Projects located in lindsay creek (mad river), rowdy creek (smith river), salmon creek (humboldt bay), north fork mad river and wilson creek (del norte) projects: q2210516, q2210519, q2210521, q2310515, q2310516, q2310517, q2310518

Field data is used to develop a prioritized plan for projects in the watershed that can be implemented to reduce future erosion affecting aquatic resources. Specialized geological consultants provide supervision and quality assurance for the projects. This project involved cooperative efforts with public agencies and multiple private landowners.

These projects provided survey information and mapping documenting the presence or absence of protected species of rare plants and jurisdictional wetlands as needed by public agencies to design and permit habitat restoration projects.

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 2023 to 2024, from $340k to $920k (+171%).
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: 2020 5% · 2021 5% · 2022 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
0% of PACIFIC COAST FISH WILDLIFE & WETLANDS RESTORATION ASSOCIATION’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue 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 9 reported years ran a deficit.

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
2020 → 2023: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $10k → $39.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 3% 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 PACIFIC COAST FISH WILDLIFE & WETLANDS RESTORATION ASSOCIATION’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
PACIFIC COAST FISH WILDLIFE & WETLANDS RESTORATION ASSOCIATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 97% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 PACIFIC COAST FISH WILDLIFE & WETLANDS RESTORATION ASSOCIATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 99% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
100% of PACIFIC COAST FISH WILDLIFE & WETLANDS RESTORATION ASSOCIATION's grant income comes from California funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $257 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.
