What Skagit Hospice Foundation does
Mission
To fund the program and services of hospice of the nothwest to ensure dignified and compassionate care is available to anyone coping with a life-limiting diagnosis.one size doesn't always fit all, especially when it comes to quality of life. Sometimes, a patient needs something that is outside of what is considered "routine" care by medicine and most insurance companies. Sometimes those needs are simple, like a second set of sheets, or a blender for a patient who can only take liquids. And sometimes, these needs can be much more challenging, like the palliative radiation therapy that could help a bed-bound patient walk in her garden again. These needs are called atypical treatments and they are essential to a patient's comfort and quality of life.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Programs support hospice care in four counties (skagit, island, snohomish, san juan). These funds help to ensure that compassion and dignity are always first and foremost at the end of life. Because of the continued support of our donors, the foundation was able to meet our expected financial promises and remain flexible enough to support hospice of the northwest with their shifting needs.the foundation maintains a platinum designation, the highest rank, by guidestar. Guidestar is a national agency that rates the transparency and governance of non-profit organizations.integrative therapy: at the end of life, symptoms of pain and suffering can become more pronounced. For these patients, integrative therapies like music and massage can help manage their pain, anxiety, nausea, depression, as well as improve their sleep and restfulness. Integrative therapies are funded solely through donor funds. Protective protocols and equipment allow for safe massage and music therapy.

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 2023 to 2024, from $4.9M to $5.6M (+14%).
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.
70% of SKAGIT HOSPICE FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (51% for the typical peer).

From the IRS filings of SKAGIT HOSPICE FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 19 of 20 funders by total. 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 HOSPICE FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 48% of grant income and the top three 74%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
45% 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 HOSPICE FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 97% · 2019 99% · 2020 53% · 2021 53% · 2022 51% · 2023 29% — 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
29% of SKAGIT HOSPICE FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 35% 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 HOSPICE FOUNDATION draws 64% of its grant income from funders outside Washington, across 5 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $117k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
