COS is governed by board-adopted by-laws. View our Financial Conflict of Interest Policy.
Our 501(c)(3) status allows for charitable contributions to be tax deductible.
Dedication to ensuring our user’s security and confidentiality while utilizing COS services is a top priority. One way we do this is by publishing our practices in our Account and Security Page. COS has been fortunate to receive significant sponsorship and philanthropic support, which has enabled us to expand programs, services, and operations in pursuit of our mission. These investments have helped us build tools and services that our community has embraced and that we believe are valuable as public goods.
As our funding environment evolves, we are taking a deliberate approach to aligning our operating expenses with available revenue while protecting the services and programs that deliver the greatest value to our community. We have maintained financial reserves that provide flexibility as we make this transition, and we are optimizing our operations, prioritizing sustainable levels of investment, and continuing to pursue strategies that can sustain these services as public goods over the long term.
The above revenue figures include Operating Revenue as well as Grant Pass-through Funds.
