What Center for Leadership Development Inc does
Mission
The mission of the center for leadership development is to foster the advancement of minority youth as future professional, business, and community leaders by providing experiences that encourage personal development and educational attainment.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The center exposes youth to sixteen curriculum-based programs and experiences which teach and nurture the participants in the center's five touchstone values: character development, educational excellence, leadership effectiveness, community service, and career achievement. The result is hundreds of african american and minority youth who graduate from high school, attend and graduate from college, excel in their careers, and return value to their community as civic leaders and volunteers.

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. 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 2018 to 2019, from $10M to $19M (+93%).
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 11% · 2021 4% · 2022 11% · 2023 9% · 2024 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
84% of CENTER FOR LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (88% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 12 funders to 29 funders, grant income rose $1.1M → $3.6M.
8 of 60 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $985k from 11 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest United Way of Central Indiana Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money CENTER FOR LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT INC raised.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $357k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
