What Collaborative Connections Inc does
Mission
To serve as a flow through entity for educational grants and programs for a public purpose and to lead the educational programs it administers to excellence through collaboration, research, application of research, and the exercise of positive leadership.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Families first wyoming: to provide services and educational opportunities for populations in need (poverty, incarceration, parents and children in crisis) through contracts and grants.
$70,045 spent90% of program spendingEveryone has a story project: helping the incarcerated stay connected to their child(ren) through storybooks. This is done by providing new storybooks for the incarcerated to read aloud and record, and then sending the recordings to their child(ren).
$7,956 spent10% of program spending
The 2 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $78,001.
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 2021 to 2022, from $40k to $154k (+280%).
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: 2018 62%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of COLLABORATIVE CONNECTIONS INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 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
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $5 → $3k.
1 of 2 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $43 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
