What Blue Sea Philanthropy USA does
Mission
Blue Sea Philanthropy USA improves the efficiency and effectiveness of other registered charities by providing centralized fundraising events that offer registered charities access to specialized expertise in planning, execution, administration, and inherent economies of scale related to such events. Based on specific criteria, charities participating in the organization's events are eligible to receive grants.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Blue sea operates a yearly fundraising event called "coldest night of the year" partnering with 501(c)(3) charities to raise funds that are granted to the partnering charities with the balance of covering the costs of the event. The charities receiving the grants use the grants to support their existing programs which generally provide food, shelter, or other services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness.

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 2023 to 2024, from $208k to $414k (+99%).
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.
