What Bounce DC does
Mission
The corporation is organized exclusively for one or more of the purposes specified in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") and exclusively for the benefit of, to perform the functions of, or to carry out the purposes of Start Early, an Illinois not for profit corporation, within the meaning of Section 509(a)(3) of the Code, so long as Start Early shall qualify as an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) and Section 509(a)(1) or Section 509(a)(2) of the Code.
As stated on its FY2022 Form 990.
Program
On its FY2021 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
Bounce DC filed for dissolution July 7, 2022.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
In November 2009, Bounce DC, a 501(c)(3) supporting organization of Start Early, was established with the purpose of developing and building Educare DC and funding the broader birth-to-five quality improvement efforts in the District of Columbia. Bounce DC has also provided substantial financial, technical and managerial support to Educare DC. In September 2012, Bounce DC, as leverage lender, made a loan to Educare DC NMTC Investment Fund, LLC, a qualified equity investment fund involved in financing obtained through the NMTC transaction. The loan has interest-only payments for seven years at a 1% rate, payable quarterly. The initial NMTC compliance period ended on September 12, 2019. Effective September 13, 2019, the NMTC unwind began when the equity investor of Educare DC NMTC Investment Fund, LLC exercised its put option and sold its ownership interest to Bounce DC for $1,000. In conjunction with this event, Bounce DC paid legal fees of $8,900. This action, in combination with other agreements, resulted in the forgiveness of a $10,700,070 note from Educare DC. The loan forgiveness was reflected as an expense on Bounce DC's consolidated statement of activities in fiscal 2020.…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $11M to $160k (−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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

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.
