Overview
Mission
The Oregon liability reform coalition has been established to promote educational awareness and public policy to reduce the adverse impact of litigation on businesses, taxpayers and society; to limit the expansion of tort liability; to reduce the cost of defending lawsuits; to speed resolution of civil actions; and to improve the fairness and certainty in our civil justice system.
What it reported doing in 2024
Expenses to promote educational awareness and public policy to reduce the adverse impact of litigation on businesses, taxpayers and society.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 100% 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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
