What Construction Industry Educational Foundation does
Mission
Develops construction, design, and trade professionals through educational endeavors, mentoring initiatives, and training activities.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
All other accomplishments: trades day provides nearly 1,500 high school students with introductory hands-on career exploration activites provided by more than 50 companies from the build environment.
$1,584,395 spent100% of program spendingDesign Build Competition - During the four-month program, each high school team is challenged to design and prepare several construction documents according to criteria outlined by CIEF. Teams will build their structure during a two-day competition and are judged by industry professionals on the completion of design, construction, code compliance, and safety. CIEF transported all construction materials to high school campuses in 2021 due to pandemic restrictions on gatherings and field trips. Schools are challenged to donate their structures to local nonprofits or sell them to benefit their school program.
Scholarhips are awarded for high school and college students pursuing careers in the built environment, to family members or srbx members pursuing careers in any field, and to high school students to pursue summer career exploration camps and activities.
Third accomplishmentcreate mentoring program create exists to educate and inspire students to pursue career pathways which create the built environment. Industry professionals mentor student teams in a twelve-week competition to answer a real-world problem. Students learn about career opportunities in architecture, engineering, and the construction trades, visit local architecture and engineering offices, visit active construction job sites, attend trades day and compete with other regional high schools in front of industry judges.

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 2023 to 2024, from $976k to $691k (−29%).
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.
82% of CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (48% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 10 funders, grant income rose $26k → $158k.
4 of 23 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 4% 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 CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION’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
CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 25% 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
39% 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 CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 77% · 2021 73% · 2022 59% · 2023 32% — 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
40% of CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 35% 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
59% of CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $22k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
