Overview

Mission

Raise community awareness about the significance of a circular economy while managing a facility dedicated to recycling, reusing and repairing materials.

What it reported doing in 2025

Community Outreach and Education: remains a top priority, is an ongoing activity, and is performed primarily by volunteers. Programs include: Spring and Fall Barter Faire where recycling collection stations are provided, information is distributed, Educators are stationed to instruct on proper recycling practices, and collection buckets are provided to food vendors for food waste composting; 4 Repair Cafes were held where a total of 118 customers were helped and 533 pounds of goods were kept from the landfill; and a Tonasket Outreach High School Intern work study student volunteers at the facility and is being taught valuable work experience skills. Provided recycling collection stations at Tonasket City parks, and rodeo grounds. Strategic partnerships with local businesses, community center and school district to assist in keeping recyclables out of the waste stream. The Program Service Expense, largely funded by a WA Ecology PPA reimbursable grant from January through June, provided funds to assist with the Barter Faire coordination, education and collection, Repair Cafe supplies and stipends, and local businesses recyclables pickup and baling work. Two Board members attend Okanogan County's Solid Waste Advisory Council meetings to stay up-to-date on County issues and state legislation activity.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 85% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and liabilities are high compared with assets.
