Overview

Mission

The Organization aims to enhance communication between Vehicle Sub-agents, the Washington Department of Licensing, and County Auditors, resulting in more efficient and accurate State titling and registration processes that benefits both Sub-Agents and the Public.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization played a key role by surveying sub-agents across the state to address a license plate shortage that impacted thousands of residents. A bill was introduced to improve coordination between the department of licensing and correctional industries to create a more efficient and responsive system.

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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
