What Exponential Destiny does
Mission
Our mission, which we pursue through research-based field projects, case-study pilots, and peer-to-peer mentorship, is focused on three domains:1. Reimagining education.2. Building awareness & empathy for social causes.3. Upskilling youth in low-income communities.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
We mentor and train individuals in low-income and marginalized communities on emerging technologies (AI, the Metaverse and XR technologies) with the goal to upskill them as early-adopters, leveraging their new competency to create sources of personal income as "Metaverse Entrepreneurs". In addition, our goal is to place these individuals into compensated positions on our own projects we perform for schools and social-impact organizations. The individuals we mentor and upskill are from the actual communities that we work with, and this creates a highly effective peer-to-peer element to our projects; i.e., a student we upskilled who recently graduated from a low-income school is now working with us as a project lead at that same school to help them use XR to transform education and learning.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2022 to 2023, from $52k to $152k (+192%).
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.
24% of Exponential Destiny’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $9k → $22k.
2 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 70% 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 Exponential Destiny’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
Exponential Destiny leans on a few funders — its largest provides 37% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders 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 Exponential Destiny.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 53% — 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
70% of Exponential Destiny's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $9k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Wyoming, across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $22k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
