What We Belong Pdx does
Mission
Webelongpdx is dedicated to supporting children's mental health through proactive and comprehensive year-round out-of-school investment. We run programs that operate 42 weeks a year, offering enriching activities twice a week to children aged 5-14. Youth qualify for our program through recommendations by the local school counselor and/or demonstrating a need for additional social and emotional support. Our initiatives are rooted in four fundamental pillars: trusted relationships, nutrition, adventure, and screen-free creativity. Most of the children we serve come from bipoc backgrounds, with all participants eligible for oregon expanded income guidelines. Through engaging and holistic programming, we aim to provide children with valuable life skills and tools to enhance their emotional well-being, ultimately providing them with a strong sense of belonging and value, ensuring that as they develop, they thrive.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The youth engagement program invests in youth ages 5-14 during out-of-school hours, year round. We provided 63 youth with peer connection, mentorship and activities related to nutrition, screen-free creativity and adventure. Additionally, youth were given 53 new experiences at parks, restaurants, museums, amusement parks and more. Our staff set growth goals with each youth and provide individual check-ins to communicate seen growth or next steps.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 $103k to $150k (+45%).
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: 2024 16% · 2025 32%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of WE BELONG PDX’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (83% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 6 funders, grant income rose $47k → $105k.
3 of 13 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 27% 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 WE BELONG PDX’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 12 of 13 funders by total. 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
WE BELONG PDX has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 26% 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
38% 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 WE BELONG PDX.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 36% · 2023 24% — 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
WE BELONG PDX draws 56% 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. $78k 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.
