What Wider Horizons does
Mission
Our mission is to enable older residents of Central Seattle to participate in an intergenerational community that shares knowledge, experience and services with each other so living is easier and more joyful. We do this by providing, vetting, and recommending resources so adults can remain in their own homes for as long as they choose. We offer members a harmonious blend of health and in-home services, shared social and cultural activities, and community engagement-all designed to foster belonging, security and contribution.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Member Services: Members do the things that many close-knit families and friends do together: dinners, social events, rides to the doctor or airport when needed, light home repairs, help with gardening and computer issues, and the like. We have fun together; we take care of each other; we learn new things; we have adventures; we feel engaged and worthy. We are especially grateful for our non-member volunteers. All of our services are related to acquiring and serving members, who (once they have joined) are entitled to both community-building activities (social, educational, other) and need-based services (provided by other members, volunteers, and referrals to recommended services). When Wider Horizons opened in June 2015, we had 64 members. We now have 156 members, most of whom live in Central Seattle (Lake Washington to Lake Union and Montlake to I-90 are the boundaries). Members range in age from their 40s to early 90s. They are fascinating, independent people who want to age in community. Many joined as an extension of a lifetime of citizen activism. 75% of our members are actively engaged in one way or another; many of these are engaged in multiple ways. 25% of our current…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2023 to 2024, from $220k to $467k (+113%).
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.
80% of Wider Horizons’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (62% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income fell $25k → $10k.
4 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 72% 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 Wider Horizons’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
Wider Horizons leans on a few funders — its largest provides 31% of grant income and the top three 83%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders 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 Wider Horizons.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 66% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 99% · 2022 59% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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
72% of Wider Horizons's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $35k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $90k 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.
Against its field
Wider Horizons runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 11,971 community improvement nonprofits its size.
