501 Commons serves as the program administrator for Washington State Opportunity Scholarship. WSOS removes barriers to education and helps Washington students forge their path to high-demand STEM, health care, and trade careers in Washington State. Opportunity scholars receive financial assistance, career training, and mentorship services that uniquely position them to meet our state's workforce shortages. 65% of participants are scholars of color, 54% are women or nonbinary, and 62% are first generation scholars.

Our financial services program worked on 208 accounting, tax and consulting engagements with organizations. Having professional financial services at affordable rates provides our clients with the financial data they need to make sound management decisions and allows them to focus on their missions, budgets, financial reports, and tax returns that meet professional standards and are a baseline requirement for effective fundraising.

Our technology programs include IT infrastructure, cyberecurity and data solutions. Data solutions worked on 58 database development and maintenance projects with 32 organizations. IT infrastructure worked on 100 projects or ongoing IT managed services with 59 organizations. Organizations receiving managed services have the benefits of ongoing backup, antivirus, and monitoring the security of their networks. These services allow nonprofits of all types and sizes keep their data safe, work efficiently, communicate effectively, and track relationships and results.
