What Workforce Development Council Seattle-Ki does
Mission
The workforce development council of seattle king county (wdc) is a nonprofit organization driving regional strategies to create an equitable, inclusive and resilient workforce system. We bring together public and private, and community partners to remove barriers, align resources and support economic opportunity for all.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The workforce development council of seattle king-county (wdc) serves as the local workforce development board under the federal workforce innovation and opportunity act(wioa). We operate as a regional backbone organization, convening stakeholders, shaping policy, and investing in solutions that reflect industry and community needs and priorities. The workforce innovation and opportunity act (wioa title I) funding the wdc receives is used to serve adults, dislocated workers, and youth while also funding business services and worksource system operations. This funding is braided with king county veterans, seniors & human services levy (vshsl) funds, which allows us to expand services to a broader range of adults who are furthest from opportunity, overrepresented among low-income and unemployed individuals, and historically underrepresented in their access to services. The wioa youth program provides comprehensive support to in-school (ages 14-21) and out-of-school (ages 16-24) youth facing significant educational and career obstacles. In program year 2024, the wdc served 1,475 new enrollees across all programs, with 1,486 carry-ins producing 2,961 active enrollments. A total of 155…

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 2023 to 2024, from $4.7M to $6.0M (+29%).
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: 2017 99% · 2018 100% · 2019 90% · 2020 96% · 2021 95% · 2022 92% · 2023 96% · 2024 94% · 2025 98%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL SEATTLE-KI’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (13% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 6 funders, grant income rose $100k → $667k.
2 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 2% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $3.5M from one payer (the same organization on both sides, largest Workforce Development Council Seattle-Ki); $495k from 3 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Washington). These are real filings, and they are not money WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL SEATTLE-KI raised.
From the IRS filings of WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL SEATTLE-KI’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
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL SEATTLE-KI leans on a few funders — its largest provides 48% of grant income and the top three 82%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

“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.
How long its funders stay
67% of WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL SEATTLE-KI's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 70% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL SEATTLE-KI draws 93% of its grant income from funders outside Washington, across 5 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $77k 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.
