What Emily Krzyzewski Center Inc does
Mission
Quality educational experiences are essential to preparing students for the future, yet systemic barriers create pronounced disparities in educational opportunities and outcomes. The emily krzyzewski center, a nonprofit organization in durham, north carolina, implements four distinct programs designed to build on the academic, career, and leadership potential of students who are traditionally underrepresented in higher education. Collectively, our programs serve students from elementary school through college and equip them with the skills necessary to successfully complete higher education, connect to promising careers, and become agents of change within their communities. We amplify our efforts through partnerships with our local school district, community-based organizations, and universities.

To signify a more inclusive approach to postsecondary advising beyond traditional four-year colleges, the program name was changed from game plan: college to game plan: future at the end of the 2024-2025 academic year. Through this program, we can contribute to both the district's and the center's shared goal of ensuring that all students have equitable access to the information and support they need to pursue their postsecondary goals. Students who will be the first in their family to attend college, who come from low income family backgrounds, and who are members of racial/ethnic groups that are under-represented in higher education are the target population for this program, although any student who resides in durham and/or attends a durham public schools high school can access the services.this year, the game plan: future program served 2,124 students through the delivery of 42 curriculum-based workshops and 30 special events or…

In 2024-25 we served as the home gym for two schools and supported over 30 other organizations with weekly, monthly and annual meetings, programming, and event space. Organizations such as durham public schools and the durham charter school network directly reinforce our core mission areas while organizations such as the center for child and family health, nc farmworkers health program, and the growing club support the community ecosystem in which our students and families work and live. The center is open to facility partner usage on average 55 hours a week and provides space for free or at direct usage cost to 94% of these partners, resulting in significant rental savings and program impact for these organizations.

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 2017 to 2018, from $9.0M to $15M (+69%).
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: 2021 10% · 2024 2% · 2025 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
92% of EMILY KRZYZEWSKI CENTER INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (13% for the typical peer).
