Overview

Mission

Saving Oregon by providing oregonians with responsible, reliable and well- researched information about their government and its policies.

What it reported doing in 2025

Prepared newsletters and podcasts to provide oregonians with responsible, reliable and well-researched information about their government and its policies.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
