Programs
Master Facilities Plan Funding- Thanks to the initial $171,000 in grant funding from the Bandon Dunes Charitable Foundation. This gift made the Master Facilities Plan (MFP) Southern Coos Heath Districts strategic guide for sustainable growth and enhanced healthcare delivery for our rural and aging population a reality. Phase I of the MFP involved hiring a project manager and architectural firm, allowing us to assess our current and future space needs, improve operational efficiency, and prioritize capital investments that align with our mission. MFP follows initiatives, such as expanding access to both primary and specialty care and enhancing pharmaceutical availability, essential for meeting the healthcare demands of our growing community. The MFP will serve as a roadmap for our infrastructure development while strengthening our commitment to providing exceptional and compassionate patient care.

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 $194k to $271k (+39%).
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: 2019 3% · 2024 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
71% of Southern Coos Health Foundation’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (82% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year

2 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 79% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
Southern Coos Health Foundation leans on a few funders — its largest provides 79% 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
79% 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 Southern Coos Health Foundation.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 90% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 88% · 2023 62% — 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.
Where its funders are
79% of Southern Coos Health Foundation'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 $69k that is directly attributable, 64% of it comes from funders outside Oregon, across 3 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $257k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
