Overview

Mission

Promote a Ballot Issue in Washington State

What it reported doing in 2020

Promoted Washington Referendum 75 on the November 2020 ballot. A coalition of stakeholders was formed and they conducted advertising and other communications to voters and to the media. The campaign was successful.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
