What Embrace Washington does
Mission
Providing support for foster care children and parents
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Providing duffle bags to foster children for their belongings during emergency relocations. Providing an annual christmas party, complete with breakfast, gifts, and picture with santa for foster families. Assisting foster families with items (beds, high-chairs, car seats, etc.) needed in order to have foster children in their homes. This activity impacted over 930 individuals involved in the foster care system.
$105,824 spent59% of program spendingEmbrace Washington's wish is a program to grant wishes such as: sports scholarships, educational support and technology, supplies for infants and toddlers, summer camps and extra curricular activities, and beds and bedding for placements for foster children.
$55,788 spent31% of program spendingEmbrace Washington's education program allows foster children & foster families to get individual and specialized assistance with their education. Many children in foster care fall behind educationally and because of the trauma they sustain it can be difficult to get them caught up. We work with trauma trained educators to enable children in foster care to have the opportunity to thrive in their education.

The 3 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $178,077.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2019 to 2020, from $166k to $258k (+56%).
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.
77% of EMBRACE WASHINGTON’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
The chief executive listed changed between the FY2019 and FY2020, and between the FY2021 and FY2022 filings.
Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 12 funders, grant income rose $6k → $104k.
8 of 23 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 27% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of EMBRACE WASHINGTON’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 22 of 23 funders by total. 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
EMBRACE WASHINGTON has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 24% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
64% 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 EMBRACE WASHINGTON.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 91% · 2019 100% · 2020 48% · 2021 44% · 2022 30% · 2023 23% — 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.
How long its funders stay
67% of EMBRACE WASHINGTON's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 61% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
69% of EMBRACE WASHINGTON's grant income comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $183k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
