What COOP Careers Inc does
Mission
Building a movement of diverse, upwardly mobile college grads overcoming underemployment through digital skills and peer connections.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
THE ORGANIZATION OPERATES AN APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM DESIGNED TO OVERCOME UNEMPLOYMENT AND UNDEREMPLOYMENT AMONG MINORITY AND FIRST GENERATION COLLEGE GRADUATES. The program is offered to recent college graduates and college seniors, free of charge, with the goal of building "hard" skills as well as "soft skills" through a formal curriculum. The program combines classroom instruction with project-based workshops meant to develop real world experience. The hard skills portion focuses on teaching skills relevant to the digital economy such as proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Google Ads & Analytics, Salesforce, SQL, HTML, and Tableau, and other skills relevant to other career fields. The "soft skills" portion of the Program focuses on teaching skills such as career navigation, networking, resume and cover letter writing, email etiquette and communication.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 $7.6M to $17M (+128%).
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 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of COOP Careers Inc’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (23% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 8 funders to 17 funders, grant income rose $928k → $3.3M.
6 of 37 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 57% 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 COOP Careers Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 37 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
COOP Careers Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 44% of grant income and the top three 55%; half comes from just 3 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
60% 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 COOP Careers Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 27% · 2021 17% · 2022 15% · 2023 15% — 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
25% of COOP Careers Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 62% 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
57% of COOP Careers Inc's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $12M that is directly attributable, 50% of it comes from funders outside New York, across 8 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $16M 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.
