01What it does

What Wood Products Council does

Mission

Help protect and grow the market for wood products in north america.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. The woodworks field team works directly with design and building professionals to provide technical assistance, education, and resources, and otherwise support the use of wood in non-residential and multi-family construction.

  2. The communications team supports the core goal of increasing the number of projects converted to wood through a variety of means-e.g., by raising awareness of woodworks as an expert resource, and promoting aspects of the program such as project assistance and events.

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.

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.

How concentrated its funding is

WOOD PRODUCTS COUNCIL leans on a few funders — its largest provides 91% 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 WOOD PRODUCTS COUNCIL.
