What Washington Officials Association does
Mission
The purpose of the woa is to provide qualified officials for wiaa sanctioned regular season and post-season events. This shall be accomplished by developing a) a registration process that is thorough, accurate, and prompt. B) a core of knowledgable sports rules clinicians who are dedicated to interscholastic coaches, officials, participants and to the game itself. C) a process to recruit, train, and retain competent officials, particularly from the female and minority segments of the population. D) a board of directors who are leaders and who are responsive to the needs of the associations and boards.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The organization provided approximately 5,000 qualified officials for sanctioned athletic events of junior and senior high schools of the state of washington. This ensures uniformity of the application and interpretation of the rules throughout the state; encourages sportsmanship among the youth participants and enables the activities to be held for the youth of the state under knowledgeable and accountable supervision. These activities all serve to further the exempt purpose of the organization by allowing the sanctioned interschool athletic events to be officiated in a way that promotes the sports being officiated.

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 2022 to 2023, from $887k to $1.5M (+74%).
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: 2021 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
0% of WASHINGTON OFFICIALS ASSOCIATION’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (13% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base narrowed from 3 funders to 2 funders, grant income fell $23k → $24.
2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 6% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
WASHINGTON OFFICIALS ASSOCIATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 67% of grant income and the top three 94%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 WASHINGTON OFFICIALS ASSOCIATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 54% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“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.
Where its funders are
93% of WASHINGTON OFFICIALS ASSOCIATION's grant income comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $11k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
