What Formak does
Mission
Assist the city of cheyenne and laramie county school district #1 in updating the wyoming safe route to school program plan. The plan will conduct city-wide pedestrian school route safety audits which include both the street crossings and paths, enhance school and public education, and construct warranted safety upgrades and improvements.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
The purpose of this program is to work hand in hand with the community to understand the current infrastructure of all school cross walks and school zones to identify where improvements can be made to specific school zones through new and improved signage to better signify school zones. This program will be conducted in cheyenne, wyoming in partnership with the city of cheyenne and the wyoming department of transportation.during 2025, there were no program expenses incurred. We are working with the city of cheyenne to identify the next project.

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 $150k to $225k (+49%).
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.
86% of FORMAK’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (77% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $30k → $6k.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 25% 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 FORMAK’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
FORMAK leans on a few funders — its largest provides 75% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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
FORMAK draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Wyoming, across 1 state in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $15k 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. 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.
Against its field
FORMAK runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 6,328 community improvement nonprofits its size.
