What Code Girls United does
Mission
Help girls to become problem solvers through computer coding and business skills training. The skills building prepares young girls to be successful in careers that include technology. The program serves girls between grades 4 and 12.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
After school program: in-person, after-school programs at 40 locations across the state of montana. This is a yearlong after-school program that meets once a week for two hours. The first half of the year is spent learning computer science fundamentals using the mit app inventor tool. The second half of the year is where teams are formed. The teams act as small software companies learning and using business concepts to produce a working app (product) that solves a community problem. The end goal is to participate in the nw regional app challenge, the international technovation challenge, and teh congressional app challenge. Number of students: 390.

Students will be learning computer science concepts, coding, app making, and business skills as they progress to create their own apps and participate in a competition. Code Girls United endeavors to create a program that not only teaches real world skills, but also builds self-confidence and provides a path to future technology learning opportunities. The program will be tailored to include culturally relevant content based on feedback from native youth organizations. Number of students: 25

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 $224k to $480k (+114%).
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: 2022 30% · 2023 7% · 2024 14%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of CODE GIRLS UNITED’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (83% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 6 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
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 16 funders, grant income rose $5k → $494k.
5 of 26 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 39% 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 CODE GIRLS UNITED’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
CODE GIRLS UNITED has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 15% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
40% 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 CODE GIRLS UNITED.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 98% · 2020 46% · 2021 22% · 2022 14% · 2023 22% — 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
71% of CODE GIRLS UNITED's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 69% 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
65% of CODE GIRLS UNITED's grant income comes from Montana funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $800k 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.
