From the Form 990 for the fiscal year ended August 2025 (Sep 2024 – Aug 2025) — read the filing ↗.
Where the money came from
Total revenue $2.7M
- Contributions & grants$2.2M79%
- Program service revenueFees, tuition and other payments for services$105K4%
- Interest & dividends$484K18%
- Other revenueNet income from fundraising events, rent, royalties and miscellaneous income−$16K−<1%
Other revenue is net of a $26K loss on fundraising events: the events' direct costs exceeded what the Form 990 counts as event revenue. (Gifts made at events are counted under contributions.)
A loss reduces total revenue, so the other shares add up to more than 100%.
How it was spent, by purpose
Total expenses $3.9M
- Program services$3.3M84%
- Management & general$271K7%
- Fundraising$368K9%
- Grants to organizations & individuals
- $2.6M · 65% of expenses
- Salaries & officer compensation
- $627K · 16% of expenses
The three purposes above add up to total expenses. Grants and pay are a different way of slicing the same spending — they fall within those purposes — so they're listed separately, not added on.
Percentages are shares of the total reported on the Form 990, not of the lines shown. Figures are as filed, rounded for display.
