What North Seattle College Education Fund does
Mission
The Education Fund enriches lives by supporting students, faculty, staff, and programs at North Seattle College.
As stated on its FY2018 Form 990.
Program
In December 2018, the Education Fund merged with the Seattle Colleges Foundation. The Seattle Colleges Foundation supports all of the campuses comprising Seattle Colleges, of which North Seattle College is one. On 12/31/18, the Seattle Colleges Foundation assumed all of the assets and outstanding liabilities of the Education Fund.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $9.7M to $0 (−100%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 2 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
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.

100% 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 North Seattle College Education Fund.
