What Foster Parent Association of WA State does
Mission
The Foster Parent Association of Washington State (FPAWS) supports foster, kinship, and adoptive families through education, advocacy, and community resources. Our programs equip caregivers with training and essential knowledge on state policies, rights, and regulations to help them provide stable homes for foster children. We also advocate for legislative changes that promote a fair and accountable environment, fully aligning with our 501(c)(3) mission to improve outcomes for foster families and children
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Family Time Network: Family Time Networks expenses support our mission of providing safe, supervised visitation spaces for children in foster care and their families. Key expenses include facility maintenance, staff salaries, transportation for families, program resources, and insurance. These expenditures are directly aligned with our purpose and guidelines for supporting family reunification and stability within the foster care system.

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 2017 to 2018, from $60k to $18k (−71%).

72% 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.
