Visitors bring wifi and SIM cards on board to welcome seafarers who can't leave the ship. Shopping and delivery services were provided for seafarers who are unable to leave their ship due to visa or shore leave restrictions. The Center looks out for welfare and mental health issues on board and escalates any observed welfare issues to the Coast Guard and the International Transport Workers' Federation. In 2024-2025 the Center's internship program gave young adults from the North American Maritime Ministry Association and Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest mentorship and real work experience. The Center operates a hospitality space to offer a place for seafarers to relax, use wifi, and receive clothing and toiletries free of charge. 40157 0 Ditty Bag Program: The Center provided 2,147 "Ditty Bags" to seafarers on cargo ships.

The Center's chaplains and ship visitors distribute the bags to every seafarer entering the port during the holiday season. In-kind donations of clothing allowed the Center to expand the ditty bag program to provide 3,225 sweatshirts and t-shirts in addition to ditty bags this year. 57045 40903 Cruise ship transportation services: The Mission Staff and Volunteers provided transportation services to 8,637 cruise ship employees during the 2024 Seattle cruise season (May-October), with service provided to cruise ships in the Port of Seattle.

Form 990, Part IV, Line 18 On Schedule G, Part II, Event #1: The Seattle Seafarers Center received Food and Beverages as well as catering services from Holland America Line as an in-kind donation. This in-kind contribution is essential to the success of the event, but in accordance with IRS instructions and GAAP rules for contributed services that are not required to be recorded on the financial statements, this contribution is excluded from revenue in Part VIII, Line 1, and the corresponding expense in Part IX. The contribution from Holland America Line is also excluded on Schedule B. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The draft Form 990 was sent for review and approved by a motion of the board of directors at a regular board meeting. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Board of directors ensure conflict disclosure. Officers who have a conflict in any decision shall abstain from that decision, ensuring that the decision be approved only by other directors. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Copies of Form 990, un-audited monthly and annual financial statements, and budget documents are available upon request. Summarized annual financial information is included in an annual report to donors. Form 990, Part VIII, Line 1f The Seattle Seafarers Center received the services of its Executive Director, Rich Shively, whose compensation was paid directly by the Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle. The value of these services for the fiscal year was $108,000. In accordance with IRS instructions and GAAP rules for contributed services that are not required to be recorded on the financial statements, this value is excluded from revenue in Part VIII, Line 1, and the corresponding expense in Part IX. The contribution from the Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle on Schedule B also excludes the value of these services. Filing was late due to an administrative oversight in tracking the Form 8868 Extension deadline in the organization's shared calendar system. The organization is small, relies on a volunteer treasurer, and staff capacity was dedicated to time-sensitive program service delivery near the deadline. Upon recognizing the error, the organization immediately prioritized the Form 990 filing. We have since instituted a mandatory process to add all state and federal filing deadlines to the shared organizational calendar to prevent future occurrences.
