Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

All members are emailed a copy of the draft 990 and then approved at a board meeting.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

We have a written conflict of interest policy in place that is reviewed at the annual board meeting.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

The organization's Board of Directors conducted a meeting to review and approve the compensation of the Executive Director (top management official). As part of this process, the Board reviewed compensation data for similar positions from publicly available sources (e.g., Guidestar/Candid, other nonprofit 990 filings, salary survey reports) to ensure compensation was fair and comparable for organizations of similar size, scope, and geography. The decision was made by independent board members and documented in the meeting minutes to ensure contemporaneous substantiation.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

The organization makes its Form 990 and financial statements available to the public upon request. These documents, along with the organization's bylaws and conflict of interest policy-created and approved by the Board of Directors-are available for inspection by contacting the organization directly. In addition, these documents are available online via a publicly accessible link, and the organization is in the process of developing a full public-facing website to further enhance transparency.

IRS990/Desc0The Cascadia Department of Bioregion advances place-based education, organizing, and systems change across the Cascadia bioregion. In 2023-2024, CDOB supported the growth of the Cascadia movement and the Cascadia bioregion through research, writing, and publishing on bioregionalism; provided tools, trainings, and nonprofit infrastructure to help communities reconnect with their ecosystems; and led public awareness campaigns to promote Cascadian identity and resilience. CDOB also ran the Cascadia Store, coordinated membership programs, and defended the Cascadia Flag in a movement trust to ensure it remains in the public domain. It organized educational events, regional gatherings, and the Cascadia Northwest Arts and Music Festival, which brought together over 1,000 people to celebrate bioregional culture and community.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Regenerate Cascadia is a nonprofit program of the Department of Bioregion dedicated to catalyzing a multi-generational movement for ecological, cultural, and economic regeneration across the Cascadia bioregion. The program supports place-based communities in co-developing bioregional strategies, collaborative governance models, and portfolios of regenerative projects rooted in the unique ecological and cultural context of their landscapes. In 2023-2024, Regenerate Cascadia hosted a 30-day Bioregional Activation Tour engaging more than 1,000 participants across 14 communities, launched two core programs-BioRegen and BioFi-and started planning the first Cascadia Bioregional Finance Conference. These efforts collectively advance shared learning, regional coherence, and investment in long-term systems change across watersheds in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0The Departments of Bioregion is the top-level program of the Department of Bioregion nonprofit, focusing on educating a global audience about bioregionalism, bioregions, bioregional mapping, and bioregional movement-building. The program fosters the creation of decentralized, place-based "Departments of Bioregion" that serve as local hubs for bioregional education, organizing, and community resilience. These hubs enable communities to grow their own healthy nonprofit backends through a federated model of distributed leadership, supporting aligned programs and grassroots initiatives through both direct programming and fiscal sponsorship. The Cascadia Department of Bioregion is the first pilot of this model. Departments of Bioregion supports the regeneration of place-based communities by providing essential nonprofit infrastructure, including fiscal sponsorship, human resources, compliance, and administrative systems. Through these efforts, the program helps communities reconnect with their local ecologies, build capacity for self-governance, and co-create regenerative systems rooted in equity, sustainability, and long-term stewardship.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Department of Bioregion launched the "Regenerate Cascadia" program which supports creating local living economies organized at the bioregional scale.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1All members are emailed a copy of the draft 990 and then approved at a board meeting.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2We have a written conflict of interest policy in place that is reviewed at the annual board meeting.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3The organization's Board of Directors conducted a meeting to review and approve the compensation of the Executive Director (top management official). As part of this process, the Board reviewed compensation data for similar positions from publicly available sources (e.g., Guidestar/Candid, other nonprofit 990 filings, salary survey reports) to ensure compensation was fair and comparable for organizations of similar size, scope, and geography. The decision was made by independent board members and documented in the meeting minutes to ensure contemporaneous substantiation.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4The organization makes its Form 990 and financial statements available to the public upon request. These documents, along with the organization's bylaws and conflict of interest policy-created and approved by the Board of Directors-are available for inspection by contacting the organization directly. In addition, these documents are available online via a publicly accessible link, and the organization is in the process of developing a full public-facing website to further enhance transparency.
