Mission and programs · 2024

• Learning from Responses to COVID-19:COVID-19 response and recovery efforts require effective crisis decision-making and further innovation to address critical needs, policy challenges, and infrastructure gaps. To address this need, the Center engaged in a comprehensive learning effort to identify and share key insights from Washington state's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, culminating in a December 2024 preliminary summary of lessons,reflections, and recommendations.

  Expenses $61,637

• Chairman's Circle Celebration:As part of the Ruckelshaus Center's mission to create awareness around the impact of collaborative governance efforts both regionally and beyond, the Center hosts forums with national and international leaders. In October 2024 and March 2025, the center hosted conversations on both sides of the state with Roelf Meyer and Mohammed Bhabha, noted peace activists who helped negotiate the end of apartheid in South Africa and who have participated in peace-and-democracy-building efforts across the world.

  Expenses $35,117 · Revenue $13,355

• Collaborative Capacity Building Initiative:The Ruckelshaus Center is dedicated to building regional capacity for collaboration by helping individuals and organizations better understand, initiate, participate in, and lead collaborative public policy efforts. As part of this work,in 2024 we partnered with the University of Washington Evans School of Public Policy and Governance to launch the Washington Collaborative Elected Leaders Institute (WA-CELI). This annual program provides local elected officials with training in collaborative leadership skills. The inaugural cohort included 45 elected officials from communities throughout the state, ensuring a balance of demographic, geologic, and political perspectives.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
