What Greentrike does
Mission
At Greentrike, our mission is to "honor children and youth. Champion play." our guiding principle is that children and youth are creative, capable, compassionate, inquisitive, authentic, and leaders.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Museums: the children's museum of tacoma (cmt) and the children's museum at jblm (cm@jblm) honor children and youth and champion play. The museums each feature five playscapes that encourage imaginative, child directed play and are accessible through the pay as you will (payw) admission program, where visitors may choose to make a donation to the museum based on their ability to pay. Sparks is a play-based arts education program that fosters self-expression, builds familiarity with artistic techniques and draws on the curiosity that naturally happens within a children's museum. It invites participants to explore the depth of their creativity with guidance from a staff artist. In 2023, cmt welcomed 80,696 visitors, of which, 3,139 were during our low sensory hours (reserved for children experiencing special needs). Cm@jblm welcomed 44,492 visitors, of which, 626 of which were during our low sensory hours (reserved for children experiencing special needs). Sparks served 825 participants over the course of 57 workshops at both museums. And 90% of visitors were able to experience the learning opportunities within our museums because of payw.
$1,873,983 spent$584,493 earned by the program58% of program spendingIn 2020, Greentrike was selected as the pierce county osti (out of school time intermediary), and tasked with overseeing and developing afterschool programming at elementary and middle schools throughout tacoma, and eventually the county. Expanded learning opportunities (elo) take place before, during, and after school, starting with those students furthest removed from opportunities, in partnership with schools and local businesses who provide enrichment activities, including visual and performing arts, dance, robotics, steam, mentorship, and more. Children and youth need a variety of learning enrichment opportunities to help them discover play and spark as a way of reaching their full potential. Greentrike osti offers pierce county's youth development community the tools and expertise needed to lift up children and youth in marginalized communities. During the 2023-2024 school year, Greentrike worked with 55 providers to offer elo after school enrichment activities for nearly 5,000 students.

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 2018 to 2019, from $2.9M to $6.2M (+110%).
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 6% · 2018 21% · 2019 2% · 2020 48% · 2021 42% · 2022 25% · 2023 14% · 2024 15%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
64% of GREENTRIKE’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (63% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 12 funders to 30 funders, grant income rose $125k → $1.3M.
10 of 77 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 16% 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 GREENTRIKE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 77 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
GREENTRIKE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 18% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
45% 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 GREENTRIKE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 36% · 2018 40% · 2019 17% · 2020 33% · 2021 35% · 2022 24% · 2023 21% — 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
42% of GREENTRIKE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 68% 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
83% of GREENTRIKE's grant income comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.6M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
