What Beat the Streets Wrestling Inc does
Mission
To provide wrestling programs in nyc for k-12 students who may not otherwise have access to positive outlets for their talents and potential. Beat the streets wrestling (bts) serves students in the public schools, 75% are children of color and 74% are considered disadvantaged by the nyc department of education. The programs include beginner to advanced wrestling training to prepare capable students to compete at the city, state, and national levels. In addition to wrestling training, bts emphasizes off-the-mat development by drawing parallels between wrestling and life challenges, and by offering college visits, sat prep tutoring, financial skills workshops, internships, and college scholarships.

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 2021 to 2022, from $1.0M to $708k (−30%).
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: 2020 1% · 2021 10% · 2022 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

From the IRS filings of BEAT THE STREETS WRESTLING INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 41 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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
85% 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 BEAT THE STREETS WRESTLING INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 39% · 2018 85% · 2019 84% · 2020 25% · 2021 25% · 2022 36% · 2023 40% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

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.

Where its funders are
82% of BEAT THE STREETS WRESTLING INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $504k that is directly attributable, 88% of it comes from funders outside New Jersey, across 8 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.3M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
