Programs
Pearl buck preschool - wraparound, tuition-free program for families led by parents with cognitive challenges. Most of their children are born without disabilities, but are at high risk for acquired disabilities, abuse, and neglect. The organization offers a unique, year-round program of specialized preschool for children ages two to five years and parenting education and case management/outreach for eligible families whose children are zero to five years of age.

$260,377 spent11% of program spendingPearl buck vocational academy - this program features workplace skills, which emphasize the key elements of being a good employee for all vocational opportunities, life skills, self-care practices, or other enrichment topics as needed to build student success. Students in the academy also participate in specialized program instruction in functional academics, such as reading/writing and math skills. All programs of study include learning labs and enrichment activities. All students create a portfolio to outline their accomplishments and to provide information on what they would need to be successful in integrated community employment. Each has the opportunity to work in a local for-profit business that provides wages and structured work. Family support - raising a family is challenging under the best circumstances. In addition to our preschool program, we use a home-based approach to help parents with cognitive challenges develop their skills in all areas of parenting. We support parents with cognitive challenges to build self-esteem and resilience so they can continue to succeed after they leave our program. Parental resilience has been shown to decrease child abuse and neglect.…

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 2020 to 2021, from $7.5M to $8.4M (+12%).
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 56% · 2018 79% · 2019 77% · 2020 78% · 2021 88% · 2022 75% · 2023 79% · 2024 78% · 2025 75%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year

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
PEARL BUCK CENTER INCORPORATED has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 25% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
55% 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 PEARL BUCK CENTER INCORPORATED.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 30% · 2018 26% · 2019 51% · 2020 31% · 2021 30% · 2022 33% · 2023 23% — 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
26% of PEARL BUCK CENTER INCORPORATED's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 53% 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
66% of PEARL BUCK CENTER INCORPORATED's grant income comes from Oregon funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $451k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
