What Pcc Farmland Trust does
Mission
The current needs of washington's land and farmers call for a new strategy to create a sustainable, equitable, and resilient future. At washington farmland trust, we aim to: permanently protect what is left of our most valuable agricultural lands. Reduce barriers to land access and create land affordability for a new generation of farmers. Promote climate resilience in land conservation and stewardship.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Conservation: every day, we work to protect one of our most valuable natural resources: farmland. We protect farmland forever by working with landowners to remove their farm's development potential, or by purchasing at-risk farmland with the goal of leasing or selling it to a local farmer. Conservation makes farmland more affordable and helpskeep it productive into the future.

We offer personalized support to current and aspiring farmers, farming collectives and cooperatives, farm organizations, and farmland owners in washington. We work with program participants to co-create plans that advance their farm business and farmland stewardship goals, and partner with service providers such as lawyers, realtors, financial institutions, and community development organizations to provide direct support to our participants.
$457,384 spent28% of program spendingStewardship: washington farmland trust's stewardship program directly supports the health of our conserved farms, because we know that simply protecting farmland from future development is not enough to ensure it remains viable and productive into the future. After all, healthy farms invest in our soil, water, and habitat creating resilience in the face of a changing climate. Productive farmland feeds communities, builds economies, and provides a livelihood for farmers. The core tenant of our stewardship program is to ensure that the natural resources on our conserved farms are protected, to keep the land in farming forever. In order to ensure the land we protect thrives into the future, we support farmers in their efforts to improve water quality, wildlife habitat, and soil health on their farms. We provide a variety of resources and assistance, ranging from volunteer restoration and connections with technical advisers to our micro-grant program, advancing farm sustainability. With each of these efforts, we rely on local conservation districts, cost-share programs, and other partnerships to implement our shared goals of sustainable land management.

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 2017 to 2018, from $8.2M to $11M (+32%).
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 27% · 2018 32% · 2019 13% · 2020 15% · 2021 35% · 2022 45% · 2023 19% · 2024 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
93% of PCC FARMLAND TRUST’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (88% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 14 funders to 28 funders, grant income rose $726k → $1.0M.
18 of 65 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 51% 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 PCC FARMLAND TRUST’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 65 funders by total. 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
PCC FARMLAND TRUST has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 16% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
56% 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 PCC FARMLAND TRUST.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 55% · 2018 22% · 2019 20% · 2020 27% · 2021 27% · 2022 18% · 2023 39% — diversifying over time.
“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
36% of PCC FARMLAND TRUST's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% 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
51% of PCC FARMLAND TRUST'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 $2.9M that is directly attributable, 62% of it comes from funders outside Washington, across 13 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 12 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.
