What United Indians of All Tribes Foundation does
Mission
United Indians of All Tribes Foundation fosters and sustains a strong sense of identity, tradition, and well-being among Indigenous people in the Puget Sound area by promoting their cultural, economic and social welfare. We accomplish this through development and operation of educational, socioeconomic, and cultural and artistic programs, activities and events for all ages that benefit local Native Americans. We maintain strong links with Tribes and with other urban Indian organizations and allies throughout Washington State, the Salish Sea region, and beyond. Our programs include Ina Maka family visiting for families with newborn and young children; Daybreak Star Preschool early learning; the Labateyah Youth Home for homeless youth; Elders' Nutrition; Native Workforce Services; the Sacred Circle Art Gallery, Gift Shop, and Daybreak Star Native American Art Permanent Collection; religious and cultural services for Native people incarcerated in the Washington State Dept. of Corrections.

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 2021 to 2022, from $5.2M to $7.7M (+50%).
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 71% · 2018 71% · 2019 81% · 2020 82% · 2021 18% · 2022 26% · 2023 34% · 2024 20%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 20 funders, grant income rose $150k → $1.7M.
12 of 65 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 20% 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 UNITED INDIANS OF ALL TRIBES FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 65 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
UNITED INDIANS OF ALL TRIBES FOUNDATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 19% 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
64% 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 UNITED INDIANS OF ALL TRIBES FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 50% · 2018 32% · 2019 36% · 2020 24% · 2021 32% · 2022 23% · 2023 45% — 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
36% of UNITED INDIANS OF ALL TRIBES FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 49% 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
65% of UNITED INDIANS OF ALL TRIBES FOUNDATION's grant income comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.7M arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
