01What it does

What Delaware Financial Literacy Institute does

Mission

To help individuals, especially those of low and moderate income, develop the financial skills and tools to become self-sufficient and enjoy financial well-being over time.

As stated on its FY2017 Form 990.

Program

Money school - a community based effort to provide free financial education to delawareans on topics from basic budgeting to investing. There were 703 classes offered in 2017. The classes are taught by volunteers.

The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.

02Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2021: the base narrowed from 3 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $30k → $3k.

3 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 18% 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 DELAWARE FINANCIAL LITERACY INSTITUTE’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

DELAWARE FINANCIAL LITERACY INSTITUTE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 48% of grant income and the top three 95%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

50% 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 DELAWARE FINANCIAL LITERACY INSTITUTE.

Delaware out of state home

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $11k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
