Science Programs - provide hands-on science educational opportunities for low-income youth in both urban and rural areas to increase the opportunities of students entering competitive academic and work markets with marketable skills. The Science Clubs meet at after-school programs, community centers, and libraries where the children are guided through experiential learning experiences correlated to the current school curriculum. The Environmental Ambassadors is a 5-week summer program which teaches youth to be stewards of the environment, while also teaching basic job skills, teamwork, and community service. Youth involved in the Environmental Ambassadors program include students who are under-represented in gifted programs, students not reading on grade level, and economically disadvantaged Black youth.

Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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.

From the IRS filings of Cultural Arts Coalition Inc’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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $18k 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.
