$62,020 spent28% of program spendingMental health and addiction support resources: eastside foundation connected with non-profits interested in having a substance use disorder professional degree launched in east king county to garner their continued support for launching this program at lake washington institute of technology. (ikron, hopelink, sophia way, porchlight, mary's place, catholic community services, plymouth housing, friend of youth, and youth eastside services were engaged). In addition, eastside foundation had 4 meetings with representatives of lwtech to explore what would be needed to offer this program.

This will impact 20 plus organizations and agencies who serve thousands of people struggling with addiction and mental health. This project will mean that eastside non-profits, and other agencies, will be able to find and hire qualified substance use professionals to better serve the clients at the local nonprofits who are in need of these services. People will be able to achieve and maintain sobriety and stabilize more effectively due to this project.

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 $28k to $296k (+954%).
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.
100% of EASTSIDE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FUND’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (37% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $50k → $50k.
2 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 6% 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: $25k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Seattle Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money EASTSIDE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FUND raised.
From the IRS filings of EASTSIDE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FUND’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.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
92% of EASTSIDE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FUND's grant income comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $25k 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.
