Overview
Mission
Raven is a peer-led nonprofit collective offering low-barrier, non-coercive support, survival supplies, information and referrals to unhoused and marginalized people in eugene. Grounded in community safety, mutual aid, and trauma-informed care, we meet people where they are on the street, in crisis, or navigating systems with compassion and dignity.
What it reported doing in 2025
In 2025 we provided services 5 days a week handing out over 60,000 sandwiches & 5,000 hot breakfasts. Raven provided phone charging, hygiene & first aid supplies, human connection, information & referrals and moral support to over 100 people per day this year. We distributed 1000's of clothing items, blankets, tarps and other survival supplies to the most underserved in our community.
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 liabilities are high compared with assets.
