What Everett Recovery Cafe does
Mission
Everett Recovery Caf is a peer-to-peer recovery support organization where individuals in recovery from the trauma of homelessness, addiction, and mental health challenges are welcomed and come to know themselves as loved with gifts to share. The Caf was founded on the understanding that each human being is cherished and beloved regardless of past trauma, mental and emotional anguish, addictive behaviors and mistakes made. We provide a beautiful, safe, warm, drug and alcohol-free space, and loving community in which to anchor members (closely held consumers) in the sustained recovery needed to gain and maintain housing, social and health services, healthy relationships, education, volunteering and employment.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Our program is designed to help people maintain recovery, reduce relapse, and fulfill their potential. Our work takes place in a community space, a healing milieu with free, nutritious meals, coffee, and celebrations; open-mic nights; daily encouragement from trained recovery coaches and a robust delivery of the message 'you matter'.Loving accountability groups called Recovery Circles are core to our program. Members are expected to attend a weekly Recovery Circle. They are expected to call if they are unable to attend. To encourage growth and the rebuilding of lives we use the power of giving back. This peer-to-peer aspect of recovery support is one of the most powerful pieces of Everett Recovery Cafs success.To provide our members with resources, Everett Recovery Caf has relationships and partnerships with a wide network of complimentary service providers. Some providers are scheduled onsite.The Caf offers classes that address the underlying causes of addiction, including classes that teach coping skills, develop knowledge, teach new life skills, influence creativity, and provide healing through connection. We also offer members a chance to engage in the creation of art which…

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $1,507,773.
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 2022 to 2023, from $846k to $1.4M (+71%).
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: 2017 2% · 2018 16% · 2019 68% · 2020 82% · 2021 84% · 2022 87% · 2023 91% · 2024 90%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of EVERETT RECOVERY CAFE’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (51% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

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.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 7 funders, grant income rose $15k → $60k.
8 of 18 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 37% 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 EVERETT RECOVERY CAFE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 17 of 18 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
EVERETT RECOVERY CAFE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 38% of grant income and the top three 65%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
87% 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 EVERETT RECOVERY CAFE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 51% · 2018 99% · 2019 93% · 2020 67% · 2021 81% · 2022 34% · 2023 34% — 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
33% of EVERETT RECOVERY CAFE'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
78% of EVERETT RECOVERY CAFE's grant income comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $264k 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.
