Overview

Mission

Ecr was formed to raise the economic, educational and social levels of the chicano/latino and low-income communities of south seattle, king county and the state of Washington. Ecr fosters and promotes community-wide interest and concern for the problems that exist within these communities with the goal of expanding educational and economic opportunities; lessening sickness, poverty, crime and environmental degradation; and the elimination of racial tensions, prejudice and discrimination.

What it reported doing in 2024

Ecr owns and manages two single-family residences for low-income tenants and a mixed-use building with commercial and residential space.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
