Programs
Special Events - The Seabeck Dance Camp was again very successful over 100 dancers participated in a four-day intensive selection of workshops and dances with live music. Dancers came from throughout the northwest. We are slowing recovering from Covid-19 when 140 dancers attended the 2019 camp. The post-camp survey was very complimentary to the level of workshops and the great friendly atmosphere. We also intensive events for West Coast Swing weekend had 78 participants a Waltz weekend drawing 85 participants plus a summertime barn dance at a county park which was very popular.
$115,554 spent$114,026 earned by the program56% of program spendingDances - We offered twice monthly Saturday evening dances in 2025 which were widely publicized and open to the public. Dancers of all ages singles couples beginners experienced were welcomed at all dances. Pre-dance lessons were offered as well included in the admission price. The dances featured live music thus supporting many area musicians. Nineteen Saturday dances were held at Leif Erikson Lodge in Seattle with an average attendance of 66 dancers. This was still well below our pre-Covid-19 average of 116 in 2019. There are now more dancing options on Saturday evenings so our attendance for 2025 was similar to 2024.

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 2021 to 2022, from $227k to $141k (−38%).
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.
17% of NORTHWEST DANCE NETWORK’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (64% for the typical peer).

2020 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $84 → $51.
2 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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
NORTHWEST DANCE NETWORK leans on a few funders — its largest provides 97% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
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 NORTHWEST DANCE NETWORK.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 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
100% of NORTHWEST DANCE NETWORK'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k 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.
