What Coastal Carolina Council Bsa does
Mission
To prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the scout oath and law. The coastal carolina council has been proudly operating since 1921 and serves over 5.500 youth and adult volunteers in the charleston, dorchester, berkeley, georgetown, colletonm, allendale, hampton, jasper and beaufort counties.

Program
Cub scouts, a year-round program whose mission is to develop character and ethical decision-making skills for boys and girls in kindergarten through fifth grades (5-10 years old). Cub scouting is organized into groups called packs and dens, each of which is led by dedicated volunteer leaders who teach cub scouts fun, valuable lessons, help learn citizenship, and develop physical fitness. Scouts, bsa is a year-round program for boys and girls 11-17 designed to build character, citizenship, and personal fitness through a vigorous outdoor program and peer group leadership with the counsel of an adult scoutmaster. Scouting is the ultimate form of learning by doing. Scouts explore their interest and improve skills while working towards scouting's highest rank: eagle. Venturing is a year-round program for young men and women who are 14 years of age (or 13 years of age and have completed the eigth grade) and up to 21 years of age. Venturing provides positive youth-led experiences to help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults, with an emphasis on adventure, leadership, personal growth, and service. Exploring is year-round, co-ed career exploration…

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $1,320,070.
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 2021 to 2022, from $1.1M to $937k (−16%).
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: 2021 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 8 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.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 10 funders, grant income rose $35k → $75k.
4 of 19 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 40% 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: $1.4M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Coastal Boys Council Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money COASTAL CAROLINA COUNCIL BSA raised.
From the IRS filings of COASTAL CAROLINA COUNCIL BSA’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
COASTAL CAROLINA COUNCIL BSA has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 22% 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
73% 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 COASTAL CAROLINA COUNCIL BSA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 37% · 2018 55% · 2019 47% · 2020 37% · 2021 32% · 2022 33% · 2023 21% — 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
44% of COASTAL CAROLINA COUNCIL BSA's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% 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
69% of COASTAL CAROLINA COUNCIL BSA's grant income comes from South Carolina funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $202k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
