What Seattle Children's Hospital (Dba Kc Howard Guild) does
Mission
The kc howard guild was founded in 1995 to support seattle children's hospital (a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt hospital) by raising awareness and funds primarily for its uncompensated care program. For over twenty years, the guild has enjoyed working as a group of friends with one common goal - to help seattle children's realize its goal of ensuring that children at the hospital receive the best care regardless of their families' ability to pay. In the process, the guild members have fun, do some important community work, and learn along the way. The guild is named after katherine colwell (kc) howard, who is the granddaughter of anna herr clise, the founder of the children's orthopedic hospital (now known as seattle children's hospital). Kc grew up volunteering her time and efforts over many years, involving herself in projects at the hospital as well as serving on the board of trustees. The kc howard guild is honored to be named for her.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

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 $23k to $13k (−45%).
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. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

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.

Where its funders are
100% of SEATTLE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL (DBA KC HOWARD GUILD)'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. $87k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
