Overview

Mission

Oregon recovers is an inclusive statewide coalition comprised of people in recovery - and their friends and family - uniting to transform Oregon healthcare to ensure world-class prevention, treatment, and recovery support services for oregonians suffering from the disease of addiction.

What it reported doing in 2024

Walk for recovery: held six regional walks across Oregon that engaged 1500 people in recovery. Recovery community summit: held a two-and-a-half-day professional peer conference offering continuing education credits. Advocacy: leveraged the press and social media to build public pressure on policy makers to increase access to addiction recovery treatment and support. Hosted two information sessions on alcohol and marijuana for public health workers navigation: continued to operate the recovery network of Oregon, a comprehensive guide to all addiction recovery resources throughout Oregon delivered through a mobile app and website.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

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 fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
