Bend YIMBY 2025 Budget

January 28, 2025

A lot of people are curious about who we are. Our chapter leads are here: https://bendyimby.com/about/ and we're very clear that we're a pro-housing and urbanism group.

A lot of people are curious about who we are. Our chapter leads are here: https://bendyimby.com/about/ and we’re very clear that we’re a pro-housing and urbanism group.

In the interests of further transparency, we thought we’d share our budget for 2025:


Chapter Budget

Current Funds Available: $415

  • Baseline Funds: $300
  • Membership Bonus: $115
  • Additional Fundraising: $0

Expenses to Date: $0


That’s right. Our 2025 budget is a grand total of $415, although we might get a bit more as the year goes on. We can also get some free supplies like stickers and clipboards.

We are a people-powered group!

That’s right. We do what we do thanks to volunteers. We don’t have paid staff, and our accomplishments are done with very little financial support. There’s nothing wrong with other kinds of groups that require money. Things like providing food to those in need require funding from generous donors.

But that’s not how our group operates. Bend YIMBY is a committed group of volunteers who want everyone who works in Bend to be able to afford a place to live in Bend.

How we work

Reform the rules

Back zoning reform and streamlined permitting so more homes are legal to build, especially near transit and jobs.

Educate & engage

Turn out residents to the meetings that matter and make it easy to take a pro-housing position on local projects.

Build partnerships

Work with neighbors, labor, faith groups, and builders toward a shared abundant-housing agenda.
