What Breaking Boundaries Foundation does
Mission
The Breaking Boundaries Foundation (bbf) is firmly committed to its mission of empowering youth through the dynamic sport of breaking. By allocating our time and financial resources across a spectrum of strategic activities, we aim to create a robust infrastructure that nurtures the development of skills and talent in this expressive art form. The comprehensive range of our programs, from hosting competitions like the massive break challenge to providing innovative coaching development systems, and elite team opportunities, underscores our dedication to accessibility and excellence in breaking. We understand that not all talented individuals have the means to pursue their passions, and it is a fundamental part of our mission to provide resources for those who face financial barriers. Through these endeavors, bbf strives to cultivate a supportive environment where youth can explore, grow, and thrive in breaking, fostering both their artistic and personal development.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Our growth mindset shows blend inspiring growth-mindset talks with the dynamic fun of interactive breaking performances. Performed by the members of bbf coaches, these 45 - 50 minute shows aim to empower and inspire, help students cultivate a mindset for success and personal growth. In 2025, we performed 17 growth mindset shows at 16 different schools impacting over 6500+ students.
$14,563 spent9% of program spendingOur breaking programs provide breaking lessons to foster creativity, collaboration, and build character. For breaking programs, we offer two types: 1) in-school residency and after school programs. For in-school residency, we provide breaking classes to each grade during school hours. In-school residency can be 1 to 2 weeks long. 2) through our after-school programs, students participate in breaking classes that extend learning and creativity beyond the school day. Our after school programs are typically once a week for 6 to 10 weeks. We supported 12 different schools (15 programs total) with our breaking programs in 2025.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2024, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2024, 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 $490k to $677k (+38%).
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.
109% of BREAKING BOUNDARIES FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (83% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
7 of 13 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 47% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of BREAKING BOUNDARIES FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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.
How concentrated its funding is
BREAKING BOUNDARIES FOUNDATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 37% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
47% 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 BREAKING BOUNDARIES FOUNDATION.
“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.
Where its funders are
88% of BREAKING BOUNDARIES FOUNDATION's grant income comes from Washington funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $188k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
