During the past project year, the Bean Path was able to not only complete all expected results, but in many cases exceed them. This year, the organization celebrated the 6th anniversary of the Bean Path and wanted to expand its reach and impact in the community. The goal was to cultivate entrepreneurial and innovative talent in mississippi through being the one-stop tech-facing source that provides access to the tools, knowledge, and network necessary to educate, innovate and build a strong, inspired, future workforce. The Bean Path promised to provide low-income and under-employed program participants with a group and/or individualized instruction at no cost. Subject matter expert facilitators introduced and imparted new concepts and methodologies that build on digital literacy awareness, development, and implementation. The organization promised to offer free to low-cost certified programming by expanding community partnerships with other organizations that align with the Bean Path's mission.below are just some of the successes the organization experienced during 2024:- hired 9 contractors this year to assist with an ambassador program, software development, partnership…

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $616,986.
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 2021 to 2022, from $644k to $515k (−20%).
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: 2021 20% · 2022 67% · 2023 54%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
89% of BEAN PATH’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (62% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 4 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
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 6 funders, grant income rose $6k → $436k.
4 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 13% 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 BEAN PATH’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 11 of 12 funders by total. 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
BEAN PATH leans on a few funders — its largest provides 69% of grant income and the top three 80%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 99% · 2021 97% · 2022 92% · 2023 69% — 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.
How long its funders stay
67% of BEAN PATH's funders are still giving 1 year after their first grant; 42% 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
BEAN PATH draws 92% of its grant income from funders outside Mississippi, across 4 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $120k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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
BEAN PATH's funding base is broadening — from 2 funders to 6 as grant income climbed.
