Philanthropy: A Greek term which directly
means “love of humankind.” —BusinessDictionary.com
Kids Co.’s mission is to provide and advocate for quality childcare that enriches and nurtures
all children, supporting their success in school and in life.
“Kindness in
words creates
confidence.
Kindness in
thinking creates
profoundness.
Kindess in giving
creates love.”
~ Lao Tzu, philosopher
DEAR FRIENDS,
Twenty-five years ago we opened our first center—Kid Co. at Adams—wide eyed and
ready for new adventures. If we had known what Kids Co. would become, what it would
invite into people’s lives, we never would have believed it. Kids Co. has grown from a
single center with a handful of kids to 12 (yes, 12!) centers that annually provide a
home-away-from-home for over 1,700.
We made it this far because of the support of you, our Kids Co. Family, which includes
kids, parents, guardians, board members, friends, and one heck of an amazing staff.
Words cannot truly express the depth of gratitude we have for you. For over a quarter of a
century Kids Co. has had the honor to help raise thousands of Seattle’s kids and for that
privilege we are eternally grateful. We take this time now to express our heartfelt thanks.
WE SAY TO YOU:
> Thank you for trusting us—all of us—with your wonderful children
FISCAL YEAR 2015
> Thank you for your smiles and your kind words
Kids Co. Board of Directors
> Thank you for helping us grow

Kids Co.’s 25th Birthday Bash!!
HOLY COW, ZEBRA, GIRAFFE, AND OPOSSUM—
WE SURE KNOW HOW TO KICK-OFF A 25TH ANNIVERSARY!
OCTOBER 4, 2014
Kids Co. hosted an Extraordinary 25th Birthday
Bash at the Zoo, and it was a great day. Over 500
of Kids Co.’s best friends and families joined us in
celebration.
The day was filled with fun for all:
* bouncy houses
* photo booth
* games & activities
* kid-centric auction
* amazing food (including a French fry bar)
* and a special guest appearance by an opossum

Kids Co.’s 25th Anniversary
A REUNION OF FRIENDS
What a night to remember—200 special guests and
fabulous volunteers came together on May 30, 2015 at
the Foundry in SODO, put on their best attire and most
beautiful smiles, and helped us celebrate Kids Co.’s 25th
Anniversary. Although the night was enhanced with
activities galore (gourmet meal, dessert dash, a Ben
Bridge mystery game to win diamonds, silent and live
auctions, and an art bidding frenzy), the best part of the
evening was seeing old friends, meeting new, and having
a truly magical time. Oh—and we raised $91,000 for the
Kids Co. Scholarship Fund to boot!
A special shout out to our
event sponsors who helped
underwrite the event:

GET ON THE BUS
Mission: Fieldtrip Wheels | August 17–19
Special thanks to our sponsors:
At Kids Co. we make fieldtrips a top priority for
our kids year-round. Our challenge is the high
cost of transportation—about $500 for each
bus rental. We had a solution to this problem
and our donors beckoned to our call! Get On
The Bus was an online giving campaign with
one goal in mind: raise the necessary dollars for
chartered buses. This allowed us fieldtrip variety,
safe door-to-door delivery, reduced travel time,
and a whole lot of fun! Our 232 donors, as well
as matching gift sponsors, helped us raise
$20,618 to rent over 41 buses.

Kids Co. Annual Report FY’ 15 | 5
After 25 years in the child care industry we’ve made some VERY DEAR FRIENDS who have
helped us grow, funded our programs, and had our back at every move. This year we paid
special homage to three amazing individuals and a company that cannot be beat!
Jon Bridge
Best Board Member Ever
Bobbe and Jon Bridge
Husband, father, grandfather, philanthropist, and friend—words that only touch the surface of the
many things Jon Bridge is to his family and our community. At Kids Co. Jon is dad to a former Kids
Co. kid, Becky, and most notably, he is a member of the Kids Co. Board of Directors. For as long as
Jon has been part of Kids Co. he has always answered our call for help. Jon has consistently, without
fail, given his time, talent, and his treasure. He has shown all of us how to be a good citizen of the
world. Here’s to Kids Co.’s Best Board Member Ever.
Jim Brown
Best Volunteer Ever
Jim Brown and his dad, Paul
For 25 years, Jim has literally done anything and everything he’s been asked to do for Kids Co. Being
married to Susan Brown, Kids Co.’s CEO, for the past 27+ years likely provided the right incentive!
Jim spent weekends and evenings building benches for seating and shelves for the toys when Kids
Co. couldn’t afford to purchase classroom furniture. Jim believed in Kids Co. from the very start.
He was determined to make sure Kids Co. opened its first location at Adams Elementary for the first
day of school in September 1989. Jim has been carpenter, painter, landscaper, all around go-to-guy,
and donor to Kids Co. for 25 years. That’s why he is Kids Co.’s Best Volunteer Ever.
Char Davies
Best Friend Ever
Char Davies and his longtime
friend, Kids Co. President & CEO,
Susan Brown
From the moment they met, and to this very day, Char has been friend and mentor to Kids Co. and
Susan Brown, CEO. As a startup nonprofit organization, there are so many “to do’s” with so few
hands to do them. Meeting Char meant having very capable hands to help Kids Co. build a strong
financial systems footing. Char was Kids Co.’s first accountant and he set up Kids Co.’s original chart
of accounts 25 years ago. In all these years, Char has held Kids Co. to the highest of standards. His
confidence in Kids Co., and his belief in our work, serve as inspiration for us to be and do better. Char
tells you what you need to hear, easy or hard—that’s the mark of a true and trusted friend. Thanks for
being Kids Co.’s Best Friend Ever.
Dorsey & Whitney, LLP
Best Corporate Partner Ever
The Dorsey & Whitney Reunion
Table: Having a great time
6 | Kids Co. Annual Report FY’ 15
Giving back and service to the community have been core values of Dorsey & Whitney for over 100
years, going back to its founders. The privilege of service and giving lives well in the attorneys and
staff at Dorsey & Whitney today. Kids Co. has been blessed with the kindness and philanthropic
support of Dorsey & Whitney for seven years and counting. From July 2014, through June 2015,
Dorsey & Whitney chose Kids Co. to be their charity partner of the year. From making grass
caterpillars, to collecting books for our kids, to hosting a story telling program in their offices,
Dorsey & Whitney has been the Best Corporate Partner Ever.
Thank You!
We clap our hands and thank our lucky stars for the generous support
we receive at Kids Co. A heartfelt thank you and a lot of gratitude to the
people, businesses, foundations, and organizations who helped us in FY’15

The Independent Charities Seal of Excellence is awarded to the members of Independent
Charities of America and Local Independent Charities of America that have, upon rigorous
independent review, been able to certify, document, and demonstrate on an annual basis that
they meet the highest standards of public accountability, program effectiveness, and cost
effectiveness. These standards include those required by the US Government for inclusion
in the Combined Federal Campaign, probably the most exclusive fund drive in the world. Of
the 1,000,000 charities operating in the United States today, it is estimated that fewer than
50,000, or 5 percent, meet or exceed these standards, and, of those, fewer than 2,000 have
been awarded this Seal. Kids Co. is one.
