Programs
Black girls do engineer hosted bgde stem day in brooklyn, engaging 100 girls across grades k12 in hands-on, data-focused stem activities designed to build curiosity, confidence, and technical skills. Participants explored how data is collected, analyzed, and used to solve real-world problems through age-appropriate challenges that introduced concepts in data literacy, patterns, visualization, and decision-making. Girls worked collaboratively to interpret datasets, ask meaningful questions, and connect data to everyday experiences laying a strong foundation for future pathways in data science, technology, engineering, and math. The event emphasized inclusive learning, teamwork, and exposure to stem careers, while reinforcing that data skills are essential across industries. Bgde stem day brooklyn created a high-energy, supportive environment where girls saw themselves as problem-solvers and innovators. By the end of the day, participants left with increased confidence, hands-on experience, and a clearer understanding of how data can be a powerful tool for impact in their communities and beyond.

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 $146k to $58k (−60%).
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 23%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
97% of BLACK GIRLS DO ENGINEER CORPORATION’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (79% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 6 funders, grant income rose $13k → $67k.
6 of 21 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 40% 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 GIRLS DO ENGINEER CORPORATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 20 of 21 funders by total. Association, not causation.

How concentrated its funding is
BLACK GIRLS DO ENGINEER CORPORATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 23% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
65% 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 GIRLS DO ENGINEER CORPORATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 100% · 2022 16% · 2023 40% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $129k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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
BLACK GIRLS DO ENGINEER CORPORATION's funding base is broadening — from 1 funders to 6 as grant income climbed.
