What Camp Blodgett does
Mission
To empower youth in West Michigan through exceptional educational and recreational experiences that promote social responsibility, encourage academic success, and support development of healthy self-esteem.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Residential Summer Camp: 426 children ages 8-13 attended one of seven 5-day sessions. 78% of those campers paid $45 or less to attend. Children took part in enrichment activities including educational workshops, swimming, biking, hiking, archery, adventure course activities, reading, arts and crafts and much more. Goals of the camp are both short- and long-term. Youth served will initially have a safe and constructive place to spend a week; they will learn life skills such as positive decision-making and social behavior; and they will have an awareness of their own abilities and assets. In the longer term, participants will have increased self-esteem, will have increased respect for others, and will demonstrate improvements in school such as better grades and attendance. Off-season use of the camp facility included 42 individual, business, church, and school groups.
$970,518 spent$18,467 earned by the program85% of program spendingCamp Blodgett STEM Academy: 27 children entering 5th through 8th grades attended this 4-week summer program. Participants had three hours of academics (focusing on science, technology, engineering, and math) taught using experiential, hands-on involvement and innovative methods. For the remainder of the day, participants enjoyed traditional camp activities such as swimming, archery, and workshops. The goal of STEM Academy is to provide vulnerable children with the opportunity to reverse the effects of summer learning loss and realize academic achievement. Year-round STEM programming for 60 participants included STEM Squad Saturdays, after-school partnerships with local school districts, and a robotics club; all of which feature STEM activities that are skill-building and fun.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 $4.8M to $4.1M (−15%).
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 0% · 2021 15% · 2022 1% · 2023 2% · 2024 24% · 2025 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
59% of CAMP BLODGETT’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (13% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 16 funders, grant income rose $97k → $385k.
7 of 32 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 37% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
CAMP BLODGETT leans on a few funders — its largest provides 34% of grant income and the top three 68%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
75% 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 CAMP BLODGETT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 37% · 2018 50% · 2019 53% · 2020 71% · 2021 39% · 2022 33% · 2023 24% — 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.
How long its funders stay
63% of CAMP BLODGETT's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
84% of CAMP BLODGETT's grant income comes from Michigan funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $834k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
