What Rescape California does
Mission
ReScape addresses climate change by providing a regenerative, nature-based whole systems foundation for landscaping education, workforce development and policy.Foundational to our work is a whole systems watershed framework that acknowledges that one landscaping input affects the whole ecosystem. All aspects of a healthy community, including of nature communities, must be in coordinated partnership with one another and speak to local geography, as well as regional impact, and rely on management techniques based on sound scientific data, tools, and techniques.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Diverse Workforce Training & Climate EquityReScape's Diverse Workforce Development Program (DWDP) creates a future where regenerative landscaping drives sustainable development through equitable workforce training. Our nature-based, whole systems approach empowers individuals, companies, and agencies to transform landscapes into thriving ecosystems. We equip professionals to tackle climate challenges while driving economic success. ReScape creates a demand for our work by educating and working with public agencies and municipalities, businesses and communities who hire our 8 Principles professionals trained in policy-driven landscape standards and practices.ReScape's whole systems foundation requires that landscaping and land use must include communities of concern, those lacking access and unequally affected by a warming planet. Too much planning is based on historical models that are no longer working. We must listen deeply and work with communities, not on behalf of them, engaging in authentic partnership that recognizes the profound wisdom held within traditional ecological practices and ancestral ways of knowing. Our approach honors the fact that many communities have been…
$287,460 spent50% of program spendingPolicy AdvocacyReScape advocates for state and regional policies, permits and ordinances that encourage and enable implementation of and compliance in regenerative land use. Landscapes produce 12% of GHG emissions. Opportunities exist to reduce emissions and increase the potential to sequester carbon from the atmosphere by enhancing sinks. At a time when climate change, coupled with biodiversity loss, has created a profound, existential planetary emergency, there is an urgent need for the nature-based solutions provided by restored and climate positive landscapes. Our policy focus creates the framework for adoption of legislation at governmental and civic levels to implement regenerative principles that address earthscaping climate change issues. Our policy work is based on our Rated Landscape Program that uses a Rating System based on ReScapes Eight Principles and Landscaping Guidelines practices. Trained Raters use the Rated Landscape Scorecard, a tool to help project teams evaluate eligible landscapes and plan, track and verify the practices they implement to improve their landscapes. To qualify as ReScape Rated a landscape must earn at least 60 of 200 possible points in 14…

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 2024 to 2025, from $11k to $180k (+1534%).
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 17% · 2021 3% · 2022 13% · 2024 16% · 2025 38%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
47% of RESCAPE CALIFORNIA’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. 5 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
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 broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $5 → $13k.
3 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 RESCAPE CALIFORNIA’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
RESCAPE CALIFORNIA leans on a few funders — its largest provides 62% 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 RESCAPE CALIFORNIA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 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. 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.
Where its funders are
100% of RESCAPE CALIFORNIA'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $20k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
