01What it does

What Academic Masters Foundation does

Mission

The Foundation's sole mission is to raise sustainable funding for Academic Masters and to provide support in ensuring the Competition's future. Encourage educational excellence and achievement.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. The Competition features separate contests in English, Social Studies, Mathematics, Science, and Music. Each high school is represented by their top student in each field. The four continuing schools therefore each send five students (one per subject) to the final public event. Students compete in first a written exam at Rogue Community College and then in an oral performance before an audience. Finalists compete not only for the honor of winning but for cash prizes contributed by the community.

Who funds it, year by year

2020 → 2022: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $17k → $12k.

1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 Academic Masters Foundation’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.

Where its funders are

100% of Academic Masters Foundation's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $65k 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.
