What Hope Unlimited does
Mission
Hope Unlimited exists to offer unlimited hope to our neighbors in need by providing encouragement, education, and resources.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
At the end of 2024 we had 20 active chaplains and support officers volunteering with Hope Unlimited's northwest incident support (nwis) program. The area of service includes camano island, north snohomish county (stanwood to darrington and as far south as the tulalip indian reservation), and south skagit county. In 2024, volunteers, who are available 24/7, responded to 148 chaplain calls for service when requested by ems, fire, hospitals, and law enforcement agencies. The role of the chaplain and support officer is to provide compassion, care and comfort during critical and/or traumatic incidents.

They invested many hours attending meetings and networking with agencies and other organizations to look for opportunities to expand awareness of human trafficking. We have added new volunteers who are working toward becoming trainers or support team members. Altogether, we have had 15 active volunteers helping us with community events, training, and outreach.

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 $240k to $111k (−54%).
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: 2021 18%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
72% of HOPE UNLIMITED’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).

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
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $16k → $26k.
2 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 51% 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 HOPE UNLIMITED’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 6 of 7 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
HOPE UNLIMITED leans on a few funders — its largest provides 51% of grant income and the top three 96%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
81% 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 HOPE UNLIMITED.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 92% · 2020 100% · 2021 69% · 2022 45% · 2023 61% — 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.
Where its funders are
51% of HOPE UNLIMITED's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $81k that is directly attributable, 68% of it comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $85k 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.
