What Body Empowerment Project Corporation does
Mission
Body empowerment project runs educational workshops surrounding body image and self-esteem for college, middle, and high school students in philadelphia. Our mission is to teach participants the skills to live peacefully and healthfully in their bodies through meaningful near-peer interactions. Because our programs, in part, serve low-income students, it is important that the organization covers 100% of program expenses in order to eliminate any barriers to program entry for prospective participants. Our 501(c3)(3) tax exempt status allows us to operate charitably rather than for-profit, allowing us to continue serving this population.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Our youth program is a ten-week, after-school program for middle and high school students. The program seeks to reduce eating disorder risk by introducing preventative intervention combining a validated body positivity curriculum with an innovative near-peer mentorship model. In 2023, our program reached over 400 students across 17 philadelphia public middle and high schools. Statistical analyses of our outcomes data showed a significant decrease in eating disorder symptoms measured in our program participants as well as a significant improvement in body appreciation. The testimonials from our students also highlight the importance of our work. When asked what they liked about our program, students said: "bep is all about loving every part of yourself and when you do, you'll be unstoppable." "being able to work together and know you're not alone. People can have the same sgtruggle and there are others that can be there to support you." these results fuel us to continue our mission and expand our program's reach.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 $78k to $111k (+42%).
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.
96% of BODY EMPOWERMENT PROJECT CORPORATION’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (83% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

How concentrated its funding is

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
36% 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 BODY EMPOWERMENT PROJECT CORPORATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 78% · 2023 36% — 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $28k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
