Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Senior services division. Scbec was designated as the area agency on aging by the senior and people with disabilities in 1989 by the department of human services and state of oregon (spd) to provide senior services (social security act title xix personal care services, special aging older americans act title ill program, oregon project independence (opi) and usda nutritional program services) in coos and curry counties.

Through contracts from the southwest oregon workforce investment board and the willamette workforce partnership, scb provides workforce innovation and opportunity act (wioa) services in coos, curry, douglas, marion, and yamhill counties. Scbec and its predecessor have been providing workforce services and related business services continuously since 1977.
$1,071,753 spent34% of program spendingEarly learning division. Our most recent additions are bandon community child care center in september 2019 and coos/curry shared services alliance in march 2020. These programs will contribute to the urgent need of stabilizing our local economy by assisting families to return to work and supporting childcare businesses using the principles of the iron triangle: full enrollment, timely cashflow, and leveraged government contributions.

The 3 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $3,129,299.
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 2021 to 2022, from $1.5M to $2.3M (+53%).
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 98% · 2018 96% · 2019 82% · 2020 79% · 2021 82% · 2022 85% · 2023 86% · 2024 86% · 2025 87%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
96% of SOUTH COAST BUSINESS EMPLOYMENT CORPORATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (16% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $562k → $2.8M.
1 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% 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 SOUTH COAST BUSINESS EMPLOYMENT CORPORATION’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
SOUTH COAST BUSINESS EMPLOYMENT CORPORATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 72% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
97% 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 SOUTH COAST BUSINESS EMPLOYMENT CORPORATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 90% · 2020 55% · 2021 92% · 2022 60% · 2023 59% — 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
80% of SOUTH COAST BUSINESS EMPLOYMENT CORPORATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 56% 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
100% of SOUTH COAST BUSINESS EMPLOYMENT CORPORATION's grant income comes from Oregon funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $213k 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. 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.
Against its field
SOUTH COAST BUSINESS EMPLOYMENT CORPORATION's funding base is broadening — from 1 funders to 4 as grant income climbed.
