What Tacoma Regional Convention & Visitor Bureau does
Mission
Trcvb executes initiatives that drive tourism to pierce county by increasing visitor expenditures and overnight stays through strategic sales, marketing, and services provided to customers, members, and communities.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Trcvb markets and promotes event space in the greater tacoma convention center (the "center"). This includes attracting and securing conferences and other public and private events, and promoting the events to increase attendance and visibility of the center.
The tacoma-pierce county region is marketed as a positive community in which to host events, in order to attract tourism and generate positive exposure for the region among visitors. Trcvb provides marketing and promotion on local, national, and international levels.
Trcvb works with local, regional, and national sporting clubs and organizations to bring amateur athletic events to the tacoma-pierce county region. These events are designed to attract athletes and spectators from across the country.
The 3 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
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.
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 $950k to $1.7M (+77%).
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: 2020 4% · 2021 5% · 2024 99% · 2025 99%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 TACOMA REGIONAL CONVENTION & VISITOR BUREAU’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.
Where its funders are
100% of TACOMA REGIONAL CONVENTION & VISITOR BUREAU'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. $24k 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.
