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 $14.7M
- Contributions & grants$7.2M49%
- Program service revenueFees, tuition and other payments for services$53K<1%
- Interest & dividends$7.0M48%
- Gains or losses on investments sold$529K4%
- Other revenueNet income from fundraising events, rent, royalties and miscellaneous income−$69K−<1%
Other revenue is net of a $69K 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 $8.5M
- Program services$6.5M77%
- Management & general$1.0M12%
- Fundraising$910K11%
- Grants to organizations & individuals
- $3.8M · 45% of expenses
- Salaries & officer compensation
- $2.4M · 28% 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.
