What Economic Club of Kansas City does
Mission
To provide a structured forum for engaging Kansas City's business leaders with world-class thinkers on critical issues in business, economics and finance. We catalyze local discussion, understanding and leadership on these issues. We foster economic curiosity.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The Club hears from several world class speakers each year, similarly to the voices that were once exclusive to the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole Symposium. The forum heard from nationally recognized leaders and organizations from Freaknomics economist Steven Levitt, to leaders in sports, to a leading AI company, to the Federal Reserve, and a national voice on the nation keeping a responsible federal budget. The organization grew its membership due to increased interest in the unique events and guest speakers ECKC provides.

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 2018 to 2019, from $421k to $518k (+23%).
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.
8% of ECONOMIC CLUB OF KANSAS CITY’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (62% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
