What Bronze Valley Corp does
Mission
Bronze Valley's mission is to empower under-resourced entrepreneurs by providing holistic venture capital solutions that catalyze innovation and impact.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
In 2024, Bronze Valley made new or additional investments in early-stage technology companies, generally founded by under-resourced entrepreneurs. The investments expanded Bronze Valley's portfolio to over 35 companies covering the Southeast, Southwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest regions of the country. Bronze Valley developed a platform of services which is referred to as the Bronze Valley VentureLab designed to further support its portfolio companies and/or potential investment opportunities.

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $2,463,998.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2021 to 2022, from $2.6M to $6.3M (+145%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 74% · 2021 57% · 2022 17% · 2023 16% · 2024 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
97% of Bronze Valley Corp’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (61% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

83% 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 Bronze Valley Corp.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 55% · 2022 100% · 2023 92% — growing more concentrated.
