Overview

Mission

Education on the science of climate change & how to take actions addressing the consequences.

What it reported doing in 2025

Living With Climate Change in the Rogue Valley: The 10-week (formerly Master Climate Protector) course provided 15 community participants with understanding of the science of climate change and what we can do to address it. Many graduates have subsequently contributed to new and ongoing work in the community to address climate change. Now partnered with Southern Oregon University in odd numbered years, offered as ES 131.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
