What Black Boys in Tech does
Mission
The purpose of Black Boys in Tech is to prepare the next generation of STEM leaders through a continuum of programs including afterschool Tech Clubs, summer Tech Camps, and internship pathways.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Black Boys in Tech operated Afterschool Tech Clubs as STEM immersion programs for youth in grades 1 through 12. The program is structured across four pathways-Discover (grades 1-3), Explore (grades 4-6), Pioneer (grades 7-9), and Innovate (grades 10-12)-each designed to provide age-appropriate, hands-on learning experiences. Programs ran throughout the academic year and included 24 sessions per site, with each session focused on a different STEM-related project. In 2025, the organization served approximately 130 students across eight program sites, increasing participants' exposure to technology concepts and strengthening foundational STEM skills.

The camps provided hands-on learning experiences across multiple STEM disciplines, helping students build technical skills and prepare for academic success in the upcoming school year. Programs were delivered in partnership with local community organizations and colleges and were offered as half-session (June or July) or full-session summer experiences. In 2025, approximately 100 students participated across two camp locations, gaining exposure to STEM fields and developing problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

Participants completed a six-month training and certification component focused on earning industry-recognized credentials, such as the CompTIA A+ certification, followed by a two-month paid summer internship experience. The program emphasized technical skill development, career readiness, and real-world work experience. In 2025, the organization successfully graduated 25 participants from its summer and fall internship cohorts, equipping them with credentials and practical experience to pursue careers in technology.

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 2024 to 2025, from $120k to $53k (−56%).
How it's funded, over time

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) — 24% 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 BLACK BOYS IN TECH’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
BLACK BOYS IN TECH leans on a few funders — its largest provides 76% 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 BOYS IN TECH.
“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
100% of BLACK BOYS IN TECH's grant income comes from Ohio funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $25k 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.
