Programs
Building, maintaining, and improving Anacortes Skate Parks in cooperation with the City of Anacortes, lessening the financial and administrative burden on the Anacortes City government related to local Skate Park building and maintenance. Skate parks are a positive outlet which instill strong values like work versus reward, determination, community building, and having fun, while creating a sense of well being and healthy outlets to blow off steam. The Skate Park is a gathering place and even a second home for families and people of all ages who love skateboarding and other action sports. Quality skate parks are a location for skate classes, events, community fundraisers, and a place to find community and friendship.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $1.2M to $33k (−97%).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
98% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Anacortes Skate Park Improvement Project.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 99% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 97% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
98% of Anacortes Skate Park Improvement Project's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $15k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Washington funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $601k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
