What Primm ABC Child Care Center does
Mission
Provide comprehensive child care services. Provide child care; before and after school care and an ECEAP program.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Primm has been providing supervised care, preschool education and summer activities to children in the South End of Seattle since 1970. Primm is licensed by DCYF to provide care for 102 children ages 1-12, providing toddler, preschool and school age programs. The families served by the childcare center reflect the diversity found throughout King county. Sixty-eight percent of enrolled families are families of color. The completed expansion in 2022 enabled more children to receive high quality, culturally appropriate preschool education in a community that is experiencing dramatic displacement pressures. Primm augments its curriculum with teaching about cultural pride and diversity, and focuses on building self-esteem among its mainly Black, and Latino children. Some classes are taught bi-lingually. It has one of the lowest tuition rates for child care in the City. The City of Seattle has contracted with Primm to provide early learning education under their Levy and the State of Washington ECEAP program in the amount of $800,000 to children ages 3 - 5. This is our largest program area and we have slots to serve 40 children. The second largest program is our toddler program where…

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 2022 to 2023, from $3.5M to $745k (−79%).
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 85% · 2018 38% · 2019 80% · 2020 73% · 2021 88% · 2022 98% · 2023 72% · 2024 59% · 2025 82%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base held at 3 funders, grant income fell $60k → $59k.
2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 60% 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 Primm ABC Child Care Center’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
Primm ABC Child Care Center leans on a few funders — its largest provides 60% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
97% 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 Primm ABC Child Care Center.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 83% · 2021 99% · 2022 99% · 2023 99% — 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.
Where its funders are
60% of Primm ABC Child Care Center'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 $73k that is directly attributable, 93% of it comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $110k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
