From the Form 990 for the fiscal year ended July 2025 (Aug 2024 – Jul 2025) — read the filing ↗.
Where the money came from
Total revenue $12.0M
- Contributions & grants$11.7M97%
- Interest & dividends$359K3%
- Gains or losses on investments sold$276K2%
- Other revenueNet income from fundraising events, rent, royalties and miscellaneous income−$327K−3%
Other revenue is net of a $394K 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 $12.8M
- Program services$10.6M83%
- Management & general$944K7%
- Fundraising$1.2M9%
- Grants to organizations & individuals
- $6.3M · 49% of expenses
- Salaries & officer compensation
- $2.9M · 22% 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.
