How the money works
From the Form 990 for the fiscal year ended June 2025 (Jul 2024 – Jun 2025) — read the filing ↗.
Where the money came from
Total revenue $4.7M
- Contributions & grants$4.5M96%
- Interest & dividends$283K6%
- Other revenueNet income from fundraising events, rent, royalties and miscellaneous income−$77K−2%
Other revenue is net of a $77K 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 $4.7M
- Program services$3.9M83%
- Management & general$428K9%
- Fundraising$359K8%
- Grants to organizations & individuals
- $2.6M · 57% of expenses
- Salaries & officer compensation
- $1.2M · 26% 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.
