Committee for Children 403(b) Retirement Savings Plan
Sponsored by Committee for Children, Seattle, WA
Form 5500 information is as filed by the plan administrator with the Department of Labor and may be amended. Figures reflect the plan year shown, not current balances. Form 5500 contains no individual account balances. Look up the original filing at EFAST2.
In the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, Committee for Children 403(b) Retirement Savings Plan covered 286 participants and held $24.2M in net assets. The plan is a 403(b) plan sponsored by Committee for Children of Seattle, Washington.
Net assets came to $84,642 per participant, well above the $48,746 median for defined contribution plans with 250 to 499 participants and well above the $40,686 median for defined contribution plans in other services. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
The employer contributed $654K during the year, or $4,010 per active participant against a same-size median of $2,017; participants contributed $1.7M and $6,597 arrived as rollovers and other contributions. Benefits paid out totalled $2.5M.
The filing reports no service provider compensation on Schedule C. That is common where fees are paid by the employer or taken from investment returns, neither of which appears there. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $3,393.
Across the filings on record, net assets went from $12.8M in 2020 to $24.2M in 2024 (up 89%), and participants from 256 to 286 (up 12%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified), from an audit whose scope was limited under ERISA section 103(a)(3)(C) to exclude investment information certified by a bank or insurer.

Questions and answers
How big is Committee for Children 403(b) Retirement Savings Plan?
286 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, of whom 163 were active employees, with net assets of $24,207,665. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 250 to 499 participants band, which held 17,456 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Committee for Children contribute per participant?
The filing reports $653,576 in employer contributions for the year, which is $4,010 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $2,017 in plan year 2024. Form 5500 reports the total only. It does not state the match formula, and the per-participant figure is an average, not any one person's contribution.
What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?
Schedule C reports no provider compensation for the year. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $3,393. Investment costs deducted inside mutual funds and other pooled vehicles are not itemised on Form 5500, so these figures are a floor rather than a full cost.
Who runs the plan?
The sponsor is Committee for Children. The financial statements were audited by Baker Tilly US, LLP. Form 5500 also names the plan administrator's signer and other individuals; this site publishes organisations only.
Was the audit opinion unqualified?
The filing reports an unmodified (unqualified) opinion from a limited-scope audit, in which the accountant did not audit investment information certified by a bank or insurance company. Unmodified (formerly "unqualified") is the standard clean opinion.
How current is this, and does it show my balance?
This is the Form 5500 for the plan year 1 Jan 2024 to 31 Dec 2024, received by the Department of Labor on 17 Sep 2025. Filings are due seven months after the plan year ends, or nine and a half with an extension, so the public record always runs a year or more behind. It contains plan-level totals only: no individual balances, contributions or names of participants exist in the data.
