CAFE is a non-profit organization that advances family and community growth through education. We serve our culturally diverse community providing opportunities in leadership, civic and social engagement, literacy development, and academic achievement.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
FHCO. CAFÉ's Recovery Navigators program supports individuals aged 13 and older who are experiencing substance use or behavioral health challenges through an individualized, harm reduction approach. Each plan of care is tailored to the person's culture, needs, and goals, promoting engagement and long-term stability. Our team collaborates with participants and their care networks to connect them with treatment, housing, and supportive services. Participation does not require sobriety, ensuring that services remain accessible at any stage of recovery. In 2024, the program served 289 new clients referred by law enforcement, community partners, family members, and self-referrals. Recovery Navigators completed 62 transports to detox and treatment facilities across Washington State and recorded 1,508 peer interactions focused on ongoing support and connection to resources. To meet immediate needs, the program distributed 2,600 emergency food bags and 200 boxes of Narcan throughout the community.

These 7-week cohorts focused on addressing and educating participants about environmental justice issues, with a strong emphasis on wildfire preparedness. Throughout the program, participants were provided with valuable information and resources, facilitated by professionals and partners such as the local Firefighter Department, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), and other experts. Resources ranged from family communication plans, emergency alerts, notification systems, tips on how to protect community member homes and landscape and more. In 2024, the Alianza Ambiental program developed additional curriculum to include a focus on air quality. Alongside content experts from the University of Washington's Climate Impacts Group, a air quality and extreme heat component was grown with an environmental justice lens. The program was ran as a pilot project for a youth cohort where students measured both temperature and the air quality score. This successful program is still evolving and continues to be used.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 $742k to $1.3M (+72%).

Government-grant reliance: 2020 99% · 2021 99% · 2022 22% · 2023 29% · 2024 36%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
