Immigrant Relief: ~~ We surveyed our 21 Immigrant Relief Outreach Specialist from every region, but North Africa and learned that 45% identified rental assistance & affordable housing as their community's most pressing issue, 25% identified mental health/youth program, and 15% identified immigration health. Nearly 55% of the Outreach Specialists communicate with their African community members by phone, nearly 40% text, and a little over 10% via video calls. None communicate with their community members via email, which we have been able to share with local to state agencies as a reason they are unable to reach African community members via their emailed newsletter. Many elected officials across the region and their staff members indicated this was vital information for them to have and caused them to rethink how the outreach to our community members. Our outreach specialists serving community members primarily in Snohomish, King, Pierce, Thurston, and Spokane areas. ~~ In our third year of the COVID-19 Immigrant Relief program, we built the program by exponentially expanding our outreach team, signing MOUs with each member organization or individual, creating a structured…

WSCACL worked as a consulting non-profit to the Riverton Park United Methodist Church (RPUMC) Migrants Homeless Program Coordinating Committee and have educated the Committee and Washingtonians about African cultural needs and shared the regional scope of the migrant crisis. We conducted a survey of our community leaders that reported there are at least 12,000 asylum seeking African and Caribbean migrants across Washington state. The leaders shared that many of their asylum seekers are staying in other churches and overnight shelters that are not prepared to address their unique cultural, linguistic, or legal needs. ~~ We supported the Migrants program through providing technical assistance during our educational discussing unique African cultural considerations to how to meet African migrant's needs, shifted the discussion away from "one city's crisis to the entire region's crisis" through our community leader's survey data at conferences and meetings across the counties, in…
$14,512 spent8% of program spendingImmigrant Rights: ~~ One of the core services we uniquely offer agencies/organizations to support better communication and empowerment of African immigrants/refugees includes an outreach and translation services team of community influential leaders. Our trusted community leaders can speak 33 major African languages and represent every region in Africa. Unlike other translation services that only translate material for agencies, our community influential leaders & translators also utilize their vast 140,000+ combined social media reach across popular African social media platforms and across the state to share their translated materials in their trusted networks and providing direct outreach for the agency/organization. We also have access to broader African diaspora members through our trusted network of Board members and former Leadership team members and partners. We hired an immigration attorney and negotiated a fixed rate to support ten asylum seekers receive legal assistance on their asylum documentation process and supported a referral consultant to support the asylees with support getting resources for their housing, utilities, food, legal clinics, youth programs, and wrap…

We also partnered with Urban League of Metropolitan of Seattle to host a King County Civics 101 Class at High Point Community Center that focused on our youth. Our keynote speaker, a King County Superior Court Judge had a fun time engaging 25 youth and family members in an interactive voter's guide quiz where youth competed for prizes. We incorporated a civic engagement component to most in person WSCACL sponsored events in 2023 by distributing and…

The 4 programs described on its FY2023 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $185,739.
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 2021 to 2022, from $203k to $87k (−57%).
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: 2022 46% · 2023 72% · 2024 66%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of WASHINGTON STATE COALITION OF AFRICAN COMMUNITY LEADERS’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (62% for the typical peer).

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 STATE COALITION OF AFRICAN COMMUNITY LEADERS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2022 85% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $112k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
