What Upstream Public Health does
Mission
Upstream Public Health works in partnership with communities to transform public health through community organizing, policy advocacy, education, and developing the next generation of public health leaders. We envision communities that are equitable, connected and thriving.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Our staff built a curriculum and launched the upstream academy. Youth participating in the program learn about nutrition, tobacco prevention, and polysubstance use to become advocates for public health in their communities. Our commercial tobacco prevention coalition continued to build a strong membership attendance and community organizing presence in the portland metro area, as well as statewide. We began to build capacity for fundraising thanks to generous funding from kaiser permanente of the northwest and will continue that work into 2025. We continued our work in lane county to educate community members about reducing consumption of sugary drinks. We prepared to launch a healthy retail pilot program in central oregon with retailers interested in offering fresh or frozen produce in exchange for reducing or eliminating the presence of commercial tobacco and reducing the visibility of alcohol advertisements.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 $38k to $83k (+121%).
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: 2022 83% · 2023 78% · 2024 83%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
83% of UPSTREAM PUBLIC HEALTH’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (82% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income rose $27k → $30k.
2 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 17% 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 UPSTREAM PUBLIC HEALTH’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
UPSTREAM PUBLIC HEALTH leans on a few funders — its largest provides 40% of grant income and the top three 89%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
89% 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 UPSTREAM PUBLIC HEALTH.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 93% · 2021 77% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“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
UPSTREAM PUBLIC HEALTH draws 88% of its grant income from funders outside Oregon, across 4 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $25k 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. 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.
