What Eastrail Partners does
Mission
As the nonprofit that unifies and galvanizes the Eastrail effort, Eastrail Partners' mission is to create a thriving trail that reflects the diversity of the Puget Sound in partnership with communities, business, and governments to raise awareness, secure trail funding, and connect people to each other and the trail.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
In 2025 Eastrail Partners work included co-sponsoring the celebration of new light rail stations that connect to Eastrail in Redmond; hosting an Eastrail public arts walk in partnership with the Bel Red Arts District; helping cut the ribbon on Redmond's last section of Eastrail, creating a continuous connect through Woodinville, Redmond and Kirkland, opening up more ways to bike, walk, and roll across the Eastside; and numerous other community events activating the trail, like our summer concerts series and community bike rides. Eastrail Partners shaped the successful passage of the King County Parks Levy, including $65M dedicated funding for Eastrail.

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 2022 to 2023, from $2.0M to $444k (−77%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2023 14% · 2024 56% · 2025 12%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of EASTRAIL PARTNERS’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (88% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $65 → $18k.
3 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 84% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $396k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Seattle Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money EASTRAIL PARTNERS raised.
From the IRS filings of EASTRAIL PARTNERS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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.
How concentrated its funding is
EASTRAIL PARTNERS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 77% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
97% 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 EASTRAIL PARTNERS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 65% — diversifying over time.
“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
84% of EASTRAIL PARTNERS'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, 79% of it comes from Washington funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $75k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
