What Sibling Strong does
Mission
The mission of Sibling Strong is to reunite brothers and sisters who have Washington ties and who are separated because of foster care and other out-of-home care for camps and events that reinforce their sibling connection, encourage social development, restore hope, give a sense of normalcy, and reduce feelings of isolation.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Camp To Belong Annual Camp: Since 2009 Camp To Belong Washington (CTB WA), a major program of Sibling Strong, reunites siblings with ties to Washington state in an annual week long summer camp. We believe these children have a right and a deep need to spend time with each other to maintain their relationship when it is impossible for them to live together. Their time at our camps and at other Sibling Strong activities helps siblings stay connected. And being with other youth who have experienced the same trauma helps them realize they are not alone in this difficult situation. Brothers and sisters reunite at Miracle Ranch on Horseshoe Lake on Washington's beautiful Key Peninsula for some quality time. They laugh, cry, experience hope, begin healing, and create positive memories that will last a lifetime.

Campers choose and wrap gifts for their siblings in our birthday shop. An evening at camp is set aside for a birthday party, which includes cake, a gift exchange and more festivities. SIBLING PILLOWS AND QUILTS - Being apart is hard. A reminder that you are in someone's thoughts helps, so brothers and sisters create and exchange pillows or quilts with personal messages of love and encouragement to each other. This provides a take-home keepsake and comfort object for their sibling. Here's how one child expressed her feelings on a pillow. Inspiration Night -We devote an evening designed to reduce isolation, empower youth and provide positive role models. The event features inspirational guest speakers and siblings sharing their stories and messages with other campers. Inspiration Night contributes to each young person's ability to respond to conflict and grief, to improve their self-esteem and to foster hope and healing.

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 2022 to 2023, from $80k to $59k (−26%).
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: 2024 50%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of SIBLING STRONG’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
