What Washington Outdoor School does
Mission
At Washington Outdoor School we cultivate learning and growth in joyful partnership with nature and our community. WE BELIEVE THAT INTERACTING WITH NATURE ENCOURAGES A SENSE OF PLACE, AWAKENS CURIOSITY AND CREATES HEALTHY MINDS AND BODIES.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
We offer year around, all outdoor nature-based immersion education to children ages 0-13 and their families in kittitas county in morning and after school during the school year and summer camp programs.

Summer camps are 4 days per week for up to 6 hours a day for 7 weeks in july and august. Typically, we serve approximately 150 students in these programs.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2024 to 2025, from $8k to $59k (+650%).
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.
34% of WASHINGTON OUTDOOR SCHOOL’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (83% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $5k → $38k.
4 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 45% 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 OUTDOOR SCHOOL leans on a few funders — its largest provides 30% of grant income and the top three 76%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
75% 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 OUTDOOR SCHOOL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 50% · 2020 66% · 2021 100% · 2022 72% · 2023 46% — 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.
Where its funders are
100% of WASHINGTON OUTDOOR SCHOOL's grant income comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $53k 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.
