What 917 Society does
Mission
The goal is to provide every 8th grader in the united states with a lasting durable pocket version of the u.s constitution to carry with them as they grow in their citizenship. Each constitution has the oath of citizenship included on the last page that teachers can use in class if they choose to create a moment to imprint on the hearts and minds of our youth that their voice is important and they belong to america.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The 917 Society provides a lasting, durable pocket constitution for 8th graders in america free of charge to teachers and students in honor of constitution day plus educational resources, videos and lesson plans.

The 2 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $150,691.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2021 to 2022, from $11k to $88k (+674%).
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: 2021 55%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of 917 SOCIETY’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (82% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 7 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
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $10k → $14k.
1 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
917 SOCIETY draws 51% of its grant income from funders outside Tennessee, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $71 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
917 SOCIETY has grown faster than three-quarters of the 13,754 health nonprofits its size.
