Overview

Mission

Heart of Cartm prevents waste and builds community in coastal Tillamook County, Oregon, through a creative reuse store, Repair Café, workshops, and public education on zero-waste principles including reuse, repair, and upcycling.

What it reported doing in 2024

Heart of Cartm operated a creative reuse store, hosted Repair Café events, and ran community workshops and Trash Bash, an annual zero-waste festival, throughout coastal Tillamook County. Programs diverted reusable materials from landfill, provided low-cost access to repaired and reused goods, and built skill-sharing community around waste prevention.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 71% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
