Longshots is a celebration of basketball, art, music, and community, where students gain valuable lessons from community leaders on becoming active citizens dedicated to supporting and nurturing their communities for years to come. At the heart of longshots lies a commitment to inclusivity and community engagement. Without the burden of financial obligation, this annual 3x3 basketball tournament and community celebration provides an equal playing field for all - bringing together students of all backgrounds, abilities, and playing levels.

Students are directly involved in the design and creation of each space, giving them ownership and a voice in transforming their schools. The vision for the tactile mural and sensory wellness space was developed in partnership with educators and administrators at each school, along with jill wells-a renowned local artist and champion for accessibility and diversity. Together, they recognized the need for safe spaces where students can decompress, reset their mental and emotional wellness, and engage their creativity. Thanks to a 50,000 grant from polk county, we brought these visions to life. At goodrell middle school, we transformed the counseling office waiting area into a vibrant wellness space. At ruby van meter school, we reimagined the library into an accessible, interactive mural and sensory wellness space designed for all learners.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2022 to 2023, from $46k to $30k (−35%).
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: 2024 32%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

B WELL FOUNDATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 30% of grant income and the top three 65%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
68% 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 B WELL FOUNDATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 57% · 2023 48% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
89% of B WELL FOUNDATION INC's grant income comes from Iowa funders.
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.
