What Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group does
Mission
Dedicated to involving our community in restoring wild salmon populations for future generations.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Habitat restoration: 39,021 native trees and shrubs were planted to restore over 90 acres of riparian habitat along local streams. 128 acres of native plant care and invasive plant removal was completed to maintain riparian habitat projects. 4,651 acres of floodplain were surveyed for knotweed along 34 miles of the skagit and sauk rivers. 3.05 miles of stream was opened to salmon by removing fish passage barriers. 4,450 community members were reached through community engagement programs. 7,861 hours were donated by community volunteers. 1,359 students were engaged in environmental science education programs.
$1,489,106 spent100% of program spending
The program described on its FY2023 Form 990. Program spending in total: $1,489,106.
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 2019 to 2020, from $386k to $707k (+83%).
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 83% · 2018 75% · 2019 95% · 2020 87% · 2021 82% · 2022 83% · 2023 94% · 2024 74%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of SKAGIT FISHERIES ENHANCEMENT GROUP’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (74% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $28k → $61k.
3 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 6% 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 SKAGIT FISHERIES ENHANCEMENT GROUP’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
SKAGIT FISHERIES ENHANCEMENT GROUP leans on a few funders — its largest provides 67% of grant income and the top three 84%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
96% 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 SKAGIT FISHERIES ENHANCEMENT GROUP.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 85% · 2018 54% · 2019 78% · 2020 79% · 2021 58% · 2022 94% · 2023 70% — diversifying over time.
“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.
How long its funders stay
33% of SKAGIT FISHERIES ENHANCEMENT GROUP's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 64% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
SKAGIT FISHERIES ENHANCEMENT GROUP draws 98% of its grant income from funders outside Washington, across 7 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $31k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
