What Blackwing Foundation Inc does
Program
Pathways to creativity - a dynamic program, providing fresh and exciting opportunities for students and educators alike. The program focuses on art and is designed specifically for students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. Each grade level's pathway currently consists of five captivating art lessons. These lessons are thoughtfully structured and include a list of supplies needed for each grade-level pathway, making it a convenient resource for educators. To complement these engaging lessons, blackwing foundation has organized additional resources, from creative doodles, to vocabulary, and various research based projects. We believe these resources will deepen a student's understanding and appreciation of art.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 $977k to $1.2M (+21%).
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.
