Overview

Mission

Cascade orchards irrigation company (coic) provides water to over 400 acres and over 200 water users (shareholders) for irrigation between may and october.

What it reported doing in 2024

Cascade orchards irrigation company (coic) provides water to over 400 acres and over 200 water users (shareholders) for irrigation between may and october. Water has been delivered via gravity through 2.25 miles of open ditch and over 10,000 linear feet of aging lateral pipes. The coic irrigation efficiency and pump exchange project (project) replaces the aging irrigation system with an on-demand pressurized system for every user. Through this project, coic will improve water use efficiency by 53%, saving an estimated 1,088 acre-feet/year of water. Coic will permanently remove the gravity diversion on icicle creek and replace it with a pump station downstream. The project has been developed in close coordination with the icicle work group (iwg), a stakeholder group that includes the colville and yakama indian tribes; federal, local, and state government agencies (including the u.s. Bureau of reclamation); agricultural water users (including coic); and environmental groups that are working together to develop a collaborative, integrated strategy to restore flows to icicle creek. Construction of this project started in summer of 2024 and started delivering water with the new system in the spring 2025. Funding for this project has come from state, federal and other funding sources (tribes, and private funds). Shareholders have not had to pay for the project.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
