What American College of Bankruptcy does
Mission
Dedicated to enhancing professionalism, scholarship, and service in bankruptcy and insolvency law and practice.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Conferences - the college has two main conferences each year to provide educational seminars and networking opportunities to its fellows.
Outreach and support - the college, along with the foundation, is one of the largest financial supporters of bankruptcy and insolvency- related pro bono legal services programs in the united states through grants dedicated to providing support and guidance to those considering or seeking bankruptcy. Grants are made to legal aid services throughout the country for the express purpose of helping consumers who could not otherwise afford bankruptcy and insolvency advice or services. Grants also support organizations providing internships and other programs consistent with the college's goals. Grant requests go through a very rigorous vetting process to ensure that only qualified non-profit, charitable organizations receive grants.
Committee projects - the college has several committees that provide opportunities to the fellows and others in the insolvency field including educational programs, primary support for the national bankruptcy archives and various publications, and support for research and analysis on domestic and international insolvency issues.
The 3 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2019 to 2020, from $960k to $1.2M (+28%).
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.
37% of AMERICAN COLLEGE OF BANKRUPTCY’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (48% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
