01What it does

What Codepathorg does

Mission

Codepath's mission is to reprogram higher education to create the first ai-native generation of engineers, ctos, and founders. The organization delivers industry-vetted courses and career support centered on the needs of first generation and low-income students. Codepath's students train with senior engineers, intern at top companies, and rise together to become the tech leaders of tomorrow.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Program

  1. Codepath university courses deliver industry-vetted curriculum to undergraduate computer science students, focusing on building fundamental skills for first-generation and low-income students, augmenting existing university coursework, providing hands-on programming experience, and inspiring creativity in software development, all at no charge. The summer internship for tech excellence (site) program supports rising juniors with hands-on work experience and weekly mentorship from various software engineering teams, introducing them to full-stack web development, including database, backend, frontend code, testing, design, and deployment while culminating in a capstone project that extends beyond the internship.

02The organization over time

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.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 21 funders, grant income rose $21k → $24M.

13 of 41 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.

From the IRS filings of CODEPATHORG’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 41 funders by total. 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

CODEPATHORG leans on a few funders — its largest provides 29% of grant income and the top three 57%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

81% 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 CODEPATHORG.

“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

57% of CODEPATHORG's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 51% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y

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.

CODEPATHORG draws 91% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 10 states in all.

California out of state home

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $25M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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.
