Programs
Hummingbird Indigenous BirthKeepers is Hummingbird's foundation program. Our doulas begin working with families as early as they call. Additionally, the BirthKeeper program is a full spectrum doula program meaning we provide support to pregnant people regardless of the outcome of their pregnancy. This means the BirthKeepers support them through the termination of a pregnancy, pregnancy loss as well as trying to conceive. Although an overwhelming majority of the Relatives Hummingbird serves are pregnant and planning to parent. The BirthKeepers provide prenatal support, childbirth and breastfeeding education, labor and delivery support and postpartum support. In 2024 BirthKeepers served 108 unduplicated families. They have provided 1, 874 home visits, attended 69 births for a total of 3,534 service hours.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $2.4M to $4.4M (+87%).
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.

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 12 funders, grant income rose $3k → $2.5M.
9 of 26 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 76% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
HUMMINGBIRD INDIGENOUS FAMILY SERVICES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 70% of grant income and the top three 83%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
90% 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 HUMMINGBIRD INDIGENOUS FAMILY SERVICES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 66% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
76% of HUMMINGBIRD INDIGENOUS FAMILY SERVICES'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 $1.7M that is directly attributable, 51% of it comes from funders outside Washington, across 7 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5.6M arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
