OPERATION SCHOOL BELL (1991)The Operation School Bell program dresses children from elementary schools designated as Title 1. At-risk children identified by school personnel as having inadequate or inappropriate clothing for attending school. Services are provided in a variety of ways to meet the needs of the children and families. The preferred method is in-house dressing where children choose their own clothing with the assistance of volunteers. Each child selects two outfits, a jacket, socks, a pair of sneakers, underwear, a hygiene kit, and a book. A supply of jeans and tee shirts or polo shirts are provided to districts formerly requiring uniforms. Supplemental events, "Jacket Jamborees and Sneaker Scrambles," are held in selected schools to provide jackets or sneakers and socks to children to the entire school. The "Clothes Closet" project gives selected schools underwear, socks, pants and shirts to be used at their discretion for children in need. In 2023-2024, 17,683 elementary students were provided clothing, and 148 member volunteers contributed 6,052 volunteer hours in support of this program.

The 4 programs described on its FY2023 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $999,557.
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.
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 $4.5M to $6.5M (+46%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 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
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 8 funders, grant income rose $30k → $482k.
5 of 22 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 48% 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 ASSISTANCE LEAGUE OF SAN ANTONIO’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
ASSISTANCE LEAGUE OF SAN ANTONIO leans on a few funders — its largest provides 46% of grant income and the top three 72%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
54% 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 ASSISTANCE LEAGUE OF SAN ANTONIO.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 33% · 2018 56% · 2019 68% · 2020 50% · 2021 40% · 2022 86% · 2023 61% — growing more concentrated.
“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.
How long its funders stay
57% of ASSISTANCE LEAGUE OF SAN ANTONIO's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 59% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
100% of ASSISTANCE LEAGUE OF SAN ANTONIO's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.3M arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
