What Alliance of Black Women Accountants does
Mission
The purpose of the Alliance of Black Women Accountants is to provide support, mentoring, scholarships and encouragement to women of color in the Accounting and Finance professions.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
In 2023 we provided scholarships to four undergraduate and three graduate students studying accounting and finance. These scholarship awards totaled $14,500. Additionally, we provided a scholarship for a member to attend a major conference in Northern California (CalCPA Elevate Women's Conference).
$0 spentWe increased our membership in 2023 from 66 to 108 members. This increase in membership provides more exposure to the areas of accounting and finance and allows the organization to support more individuals.
$0 spentOur mentorship program provided mentors to 30 individuals (mentees) and had a total of 17 mentors. This program continues to evolve and has also made connections with various organizations that will allow us to provide resources and opportunities to mentees whereby they are able to obtain internships and jobs. We have made connections with CalCPA, Price Waterhouse Coopers, Ernst and Young, University of Southern California, and regional CPA firms.
$0 spent
The 3 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $0.
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 $81k to $100k (+23%).
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.
78% of Alliance of Black Women Accountants’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (83% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 2 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $100 → $8k.
3 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 42% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
Alliance of Black Women Accountants leans on a few funders — its largest provides 53% of grant income and the top three 94%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
42% 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 Alliance of Black Women Accountants.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 99% · 2022 100% · 2023 78% — 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
92% of Alliance of Black Women Accountants's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $18k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states 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
Alliance of Black Women Accountants runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 5,705 youth development nonprofits its size.
