What Kidvantage does
Mission
KidVantage helps kids be safe, nourished, and healthy by providing diapers, formula, car seats, clothing, and more. KidVantage protects and promotes healthy development for kids (through age 12) by collecting, purchasing, and distributing free essentials through a network of human service, educational, or health providers who are working with kids and families. We strengthen families, build resiliency in children, reduce inequities, and create stronger communities with a mission of helping kids reach their full potential tomorrow by meeting basic needs today. Research shows that providing children the right ingredients for healthy development - emphasizing protective factors that can counterbalance the effects of adversity- from the start produces better outcomes than trying to fix problems later. Our strength comes from deep community participation, through volunteering, donating goods and social connections.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
KidVantage provides basic health, safety, nutritional and comfort items for babies and children (birth through age 12), and expectant mothers, who are living within our area of operations and are currently participating in a program within our network of agency partners. In service to our mission and strategic directions, KidVantage supported 78 active agency partners in 2024, including early learning centers, food banks, housing, maternal & infant health programs, medical services, and schools. The tangible assistance provided by KidVantage means kids have their nutrition, health, safety, and development needs met, promoting and protecting developing minds and bodies. At no cost to families or to our agency partners, we supply formula, diapers, hygiene items, clothing, car seats, beds, school supplies, and more. After three decades of service, KidVantage is the community's acknowledged expert in recycling, buying, and distributing essential goods for children experiencing poverty, homelessness, or family disruption. KidVantage takes in donations of children's clothing and goods from the community at locations in Issaquah and Shoreline in King County and Bremerton in Kitsap County…

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 2019 to 2020, from $2.0M to $2.9M (+47%).
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 4% · 2019 6% · 2020 13% · 2021 9% · 2022 12% · 2023 10% · 2024 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
101% of KIDVANTAGE’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 15 funders to 30 funders, grant income rose $143k → $588k.
14 of 82 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 59% 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 KIDVANTAGE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 82 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
KIDVANTAGE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 30% 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
74% 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 KIDVANTAGE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 29% · 2018 36% · 2019 18% · 2020 29% · 2021 34% · 2022 35% · 2023 35% — growing more concentrated.
“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
36% of KIDVANTAGE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 57% 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
59% of KIDVANTAGE'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, 72% of it comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.4M 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.
Against its field
KIDVANTAGE runs a healthier operating margin than half of the 11,274 human services nonprofits its size.
