What Martial Arts in the Public Interest does
Mission
Martial Arts in the Public Interest dba Quantum Martial Arts Seattle and Quantum Martial Arts Tacoma has a mission to reveal personal strengths and interconnect diverse communities through the joyful pursuit of Quantum Martial Arts. Located in Seattle and Tacoma WA, we operate two community martial arts dojos. We bring people together to learn a unique style of martial arts in a welcoming, non-competitive environment. Our style focuses on empowerment, practical self-defense, and revealing personal strength. The style is the creation of Master Rachael Evans, who has been exploring and expanding her martial arts for over 40 years. We provide an intense, fun exercise, and Quantum is more than just a workout. Quantum's outreach programs change the lives of children and adults in various places in Washington. In 2025, we built out and opened Quantum Tacoma.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2021 to 2022, from $58k to $130k (+126%).
How it's funded, over time

2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 55% 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 MARTIAL ARTS IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
MARTIAL ARTS IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST leans on a few funders — its largest provides 42% of grant income and the top three 85%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
93% 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 MARTIAL ARTS IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 100% · 2022 45% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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
55% of MARTIAL ARTS IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST'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 $27k that is directly attributable, 65% of it comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $33k 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.
