What Black Boarders CT Inc does
Mission
Our mission is to give Black and Brown youth access to the slopes, promoting diversity and inclusion in winter sports, snowboarding in particular.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Black Boarders CT serves youth of color, introducing them to winter snowboarding. BBCT provides equipment,lessons, lift tickets and field trips in Connecticut and out-of-state.During fiscal year 2025, Black Boarders CT held 6 weekly classes for 25 Black and Brown youth, allowing them to spend time in nature, learn to snowboard, and promote diversity and inclusion in winter sports, particularly snowboarding. The 6 weekly classes took place at Mt. Southington, where the youth received instruction from AASI-certified instructors. Our East Coast culminating trip was a visit to Stratton Mountain in Vermont, where the youth were able to explore varied terrain at a higher altitude. A small group ended the season by traveling to Aspen, Colorado, where they showcased their skills on hills outside of Connecticut.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 2023 to 2024, from $3k to $9k (+164%).
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
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 67% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
Black Boarders CT Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 67% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 Black Boarders CT Inc.
“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.
Where its funders are
67% of Black Boarders CT 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 $5k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Connecticut, across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
