What Washington State Dental Association does
Mission
To unite members of the dental profession to promote oral health of the highest quality.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Washington State Dental Association (wsda) promotes oral health of the highest quality with 4,100+ members representing over 69 percent of the practicing dental professionals in washington state. Wsda has an active presence with the legislature, continually establishing ethical standards for the profession and developing services for those lacking oral health care.
The pacific northwest dental conference (pndc) offers three days of continuing dental education with over 50 nationally-renowned speakers and a dental trade show of more than 150 exhibits. With nearly 6000 attendees, the pndc is the largest gathering of dental professionals in washington.
The Washington State Dental Association formed wsda group retro, a retrospective rating program sanctioned by the washington state department of labor & industries in order to improve safety and to help prevent injuries in the dental office through training and education.
The 3 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
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 2020 to 2021, from $6.2M to $12M (+99%).
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 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

From the IRS filings of WASHINGTON STATE DENTAL ASSOCIATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
WASHINGTON STATE DENTAL ASSOCIATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 100% of grant income and the top three 100%; 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 STATE DENTAL ASSOCIATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 98% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
