The PNWER Annual Summit was held in Bellevue WA with 616 attendees and served again as a binational Canadian and American platform for regional policymakers, business leaders, associations, nonprofits and academics to share best practices and advance solutions across a variety of issue areas such as trade, energy, supply chain and invasive species.
RIA: The Regional Infrastructure Accelerator (RIA) program is funded by the U.S. Department of Transportations Build America Bureau and designed to accelerate infrastructure project delivery through capacity building, technical assistance and identification of innovative financing solutions.Now in its third year, the PNWER RIA has provided assistance to over 25 supply chain and passenger mobility projects across the five PNWER states.
LEHI: Now in its 15th year, the Legislative Energy Horizon Institute (LEHI) continues to educate state, provincial and territorial legislators, governors advisors and policymakers on North American energy infrastructure and delivery systems. The certificate course helps policymakers understand, over two in-person sessions, how energy systems and infrastructure work and are built, financed and regulated. The 2025 cohort included 40 participants representing 28 different states, provinces and territories.

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.
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 $1.3M to $1.9M (+43%).
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: 2017 0% · 2018 0% · 2019 0% · 2020 0% · 2021 11% · 2022 48% · 2023 56% · 2024 46% · 2025 46%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 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.

How concentrated its funding is
Pacific Northwest Economic Region Foundation leans on a few funders — its largest provides 36% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders 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 Northwest Economic Region Foundation.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 67% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.
