What Black Heart Association does
Mission
BHA is dedicated to improving health outcomes for all people. We are focused on communities that face the greatest concerns. Our mission is to eliminate preventable cardiovascular health disparities through advocacy, education, free preventative heart health screenings,early detection and connections to care.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
In 2025, Black Heart Association significantly expanded its Vehicle for Change program, delivering free cardiovascular screenings, preventive health education, navigation, referrals and follow-up support through 153 events across the United States. BHA directly screened 5,209 youth and adults,a 24% increase. The organization also increased its number of community activations by 53%, growing from 100 events in 2024 to 153 events in 2025. BHAs impact extended beyond those directly screened. Through its community-education model, BHA educated approximately two additional people for every person screened. This resulted in an estimated 10,418 additional people receiving heart-health education and a combined screening and education reach of approximately 15,627 people during 2025. BHA brought prevention directly to people at worksites, schools, churches, festivals and other trusted community locations. Through every interaction, BHA transformed screening results into understandable, actionable information, helping individuals and families recognize cardiovascular risks earlier and take informed steps toward protecting their health.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 $246k to $740k (+201%).
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.
101% of Black Heart Association’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (51% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $115k → $277k.
2 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 18% 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 Heart Association’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 Heart Association leans on a few funders — its largest provides 44% of grant income and the top three 84%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
64% 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 Heart Association.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 74% · 2023 56% — 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.
Where its funders are
100% of Black Heart Association's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $110k 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.
