In other words: we think foster care if harder than it needs to be. 0 0 232914 The Landing - An emergency shelter for children entering foster care for the first time. We ensure children receive whatever specialized care they might need and buy enough time for social workers to locate the ideal home for each child. Over the last year, we have been honored to care for more than 300 children and involve more than 100 volunteers in our shelters. 285212 Skookum Parents - We train, license, and support volunteer foster families as they care for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. Our primary goal is to cultivate a network of natural support around a child and their family making reunification more likely and recidivism unthinkable. This year, we launched FosterClass, an accelerated, asynchronous foster parent training, nearly all of which was developed in-house, allowing us to emphasize the practices that result in Skookum out-performing the statewide average reunification rate (87% versus 51%). This has improved the quality of our foster parent training/licensing while simultaneously making it faster and more efficient. 287287 3478 Family Time - More than 80% of children in foster care have court-ordered visitation with their family of origin, technically supervised by an agency. Skookum has facilitated these visits since 2016 for just the children in our licensed homes. But contraction in the provider network (mostly from COVID-driven early retirements) has created a need that Skookum has stepped up to address. Today we are the single largest provider of family time in the region and have supervised more than 3,100 hours of parent/child visitation. 229903 Camp Skookum - As an expression of our desire to preserve and deepen the connection between children in foster care and their families, we launched the inaugural camp with 10 families attending, and reviews were rave. The program was developed in partnership with Parents for Parents of Whatcom County, but most of this 3-day weekend was spent celebrating the monumental achievements of these families to get safe, healthy, clean & sober in order to reunite their family under one roof. 229903 1035316 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4 0 1 33 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X X X The Organization 3603753380 316 E McLeod Road Bellingham WA 98225 Troy Muljat Chairman 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Rachael Wilson Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Samantha Robinson Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Jeff Savage Member at large 1.00 X 0 0 0 Caleb Hazel Member at large 1.00 X 0 0 0 Eva Lounsbury Member at large 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jacob Hede Member at large 1.00 X 0 0 0 Bethnie Morisson Member at large 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ray Deck III Executive Director and President 40.00 X 102123 0 12047 102123 0 12047 1 0 0 0 0 20000 260794 387994 746172 1414960 1103 1103 6327 -6327 -6327 -6327 2871 260794 65399 -62528 -62528 1347208 0 0 -67752 3478 3478 114170 92963 8298 12909 797460 681190 48987 67283 14823 11687 1567 1569 74030 51724 11024 11282 74942 63540 4714 6688 10199 10199 27383 27383 11924 11924 17008 2157 14851 24451 24451 71952 61750 10202 24069 17351 1463 5255 10289 8285 1203 801 6105 5189 611 305 27216 27216 Other events 24246 7775 16471 Taxes and licenses 17492 14831 1100 1561 Program supplies 12536 12536 Vehicle expenses 2499 2499 13360 518 12842 1379632 1035316 209888 134428 521849 439050 249083 345185 29988 33019 3075 3075 52561 35425 29568 17136 0 70767 833563 908232 33301 69021 0 71373 33301 140394 X 800262 767838 800262 767838 833563 908232 -32424 0 X 1 X 0 1 0 X 908751 975430 1358648 1337312 1414960 5995101 908751 975430 1358648 1337312 1414960 5995101 457062 5538039 75 89 1103 1267 6019 11051 17070 6013438 0.92090 0.93290 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 12771 12771 1391279 1404050 215405 53851 0 0 172269 157562 185754 215405 730990 1096485 2490 0 0 12771 15261 43067 39391 46439 53851 182748 274122 2492 0 0 12771 15263 11158 8369 2789 41403 27056 14347 17136 Right of use assets 70767 70767 Lease liabilities 71373 71373 Eat, Drink and Be Giving (BLI) 190763 187892 2871 4000 26600 14700 2035 Eat, Drink and Be Giving (CW) 38749 38749 1500 2699 528 2 34153 34153 1050 2780 545 8962 263665 260794 2871 1050 8280 29844 14700 11525 65399 -62528 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b A draft copy of the return is distributed to the board members for review prior to filing.
