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 $41.0M
- Contributions & grants$38.5M94%
- Program service revenueFees, tuition and other payments for services$203K<1%
- Interest & dividends$1.3M3%
- Gains or losses on investments sold$1.3M3%
- Other revenueNet income from fundraising events, rent, royalties and miscellaneous income−$345K−<1%
Other revenue is net of a $263K 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 $20.5M
- Program services$16.7M82%
- Management & general$974K5%
- Fundraising$2.8M14%
- Grants to organizations & individuals
- $14.0M · 68% of expenses
- Salaries & officer compensation
- $3.8M · 18% 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.
