What Blast 4 Kids does
Mission
The purpose of Blast 4 Kids is to provide reduced-cost before and after school care, academic assistance, and character-building enrichment programs to children in at-risk households. These families face challenges finding affordable childcare due to their limited income.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Before & after school care (60% of time): volunteers and staff help children with their homework, listen to children read aloud, and give extra attention to math and science lessons. Once a week an art instructor, music instructor and a physical education professional come to the site and provide enrichment programs to the children.
$90,532 spent94% of program spendingSupplemental services (30% of time): additional assistance is given to the families as needed in the form of food, personal care items, clothing, angel tree christmas gifts, and holiday grocery gift cards. Donations of these items are secured from businesses, individuals and churches in the community. Food is donated by local restaurants and the food bank.
$0 spent0% of program spendingSpecial events (10% of time): special events include summer camp, regular outings and other fun activities. There is also an annual thanksgiving dinner and christmas dinner where the theme is voted on by the kids; it's often not what would be considered traditional; one year the children requested chinese food for thanksgiving.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2022 to 2023, from $73k to $123k (+69%).
How it's funded, over time
