What it reported doing in 2024
Alliance for a Safe Oregon works to make Oregon safer for all Oregonians by ending gun tragedies in our communities. We work with experts, civic leaders and community volunteers to create and advocate for policies, programs and education that lead to a safer, stronger Oregon. We have lobbied for Oregon to pass strong legislation that will regulate gun dealers and stop the flow of illegal guns on our streets. We can reduce firearm injuries and deaths with strong regulations. We have also fought for rapid fire device bans and banning concealed carry weapons from sensitive places. Our Metro Gun Violence Prevention Program has sought Community Violence Intervention funding to be stable and sustainable.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
