What Ct State Police Academy Alumni does
Mission
The mission of the connecticut state police museum and educational center is to display the rich history of the connecticut state police department through displays, photos and videotapes.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
This museum will trace the history of the connecticut state police department through its inception in 1903, with only a handful of troopers, to todays modern state police department that is staffed with over 1,400 sworn state troopers and dedicated civilian support personnel. The museum will also trace the history of law enforcement from its early days in connecticut to the present time. It is our hope the make this museum a center of learning regarding the history of connecticut law enforcement for people of all ages.

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $46,027.
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 2019 to 2020, from $418k to $499k (+20%).
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: 2023 8% · 2024 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of CT STATE POLICE ACADEMY ALUMNI’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (78% 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.

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 fell $30k → $6k.
1 of 4 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.
Left out of every figure on this page: $33k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Ct State Police Academy Alumni Association Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money CT STATE POLICE ACADEMY ALUMNI raised.
From the IRS filings of CT STATE POLICE ACADEMY ALUMNI’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.

CT STATE POLICE ACADEMY ALUMNI leans on a few funders — its largest provides 87% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 CT STATE POLICE ACADEMY ALUMNI.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 83% · 2023 94% — 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.
Where its funders are

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1k 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.
