Programs
TAF Academy is a 6th to 12th grade public school with a mission to prepare every student for college and life through a rigorous and relevant Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) focused curriculum. The goal is to enlist students as active participants in their education and cultivate a keen awareness of their important role with-in the world. The first TAF Academy opened in Federal Way Public School District in September 2008 with 130 students. Enrollment continued to grow and in 2017-18 school year TAF moved to a new location in Federal Way, now called TAF@Saghalie, more than doubling capacity. Enrollment for 2024-25 was 532. To acclimate incoming 6th graders into our program, TAF also offers STEMbyTAF Jump Start daily camp for two weeks in the summer at both schools each year.

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 $11M to $13M (+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.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 0% · 2018 0% · 2020 0% · 2021 15% · 2022 25% · 2023 13% · 2024 6% · 2025 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
105% of TECHNOLOGY ACCESS FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (60% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 22 funders to 32 funders, grant income rose $637k → $2.3M.
17 of 87 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 50% 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 TECHNOLOGY ACCESS FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 87 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
TECHNOLOGY ACCESS FOUNDATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 15% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
63% 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 TECHNOLOGY ACCESS FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 39% · 2018 31% · 2019 42% · 2020 33% · 2021 24% · 2022 36% · 2023 21% — 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
45% of TECHNOLOGY ACCESS FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 51% 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
TECHNOLOGY ACCESS FOUNDATION draws 55% of its grant income from funders outside Washington, across 17 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $9.8M arriving through sponsors registered in 13 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.
Against its field
TECHNOLOGY ACCESS FOUNDATION's funding base is broadening — from 22 funders to 32 as grant income climbed.
