What 300 for 300 does
Mission
Provides a safe third space for Middle School Girls of Color to foster healing, self-expression, and personal growth. Through creative writing, art, and mental health support, the organization empowers girls to overcome trauma, build confidence and contribute positively.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Make It Art is a 6-week program that offers empowering weekly mantras to help reframe the way girls think and feel about themselves. We meet four times a week. The girls are encouraged to take the mantra weve provided and turn it into art. At the end of the session, we host a public art event called The Museum of Me, which invites families and the broader community to experience the girls artwork and artifacts. This event showcases how participants explore and express their identities through creativity.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $45k to $3k (−93%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2023 88%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of 300 FOR 300’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (83% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 2 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $15k → $50k.
1 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 18% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of 300 FOR 300’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
300 FOR 300 leans on a few funders — its largest provides 64% of grant income and the top three 92%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
89% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund 300 FOR 300.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 60% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
300 FOR 300 draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Michigan, across 1 state in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $70k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Against its field
300 FOR 300 has grown faster than half of the 5,688 youth development nonprofits its size.
