What Foundation of the United States Secret Service Association does
Mission
To provide for the general welfare, development, growth and well being of the association's membership and others as directed by the foundation's trustees.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
During 2024, the foundation of the united states secret service established a 529 scholarship program to support the educational aspirations and future success of children of secret service employees who were killed or injured in the line of duty. The scholarship funds are distributed directly to the recipient's 529 account. Recipients are selected annually by a dedicated scholarship committee based on merit and financial need. This program advances the foundation's mission by providing support to the families of fallen or injured secret service employees.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Scholarships - awarded on the basis of financial need and academic merit for linear descendents of the united states secret service association members. One hundred and forty scholarships were given in the current year. Of this, five children were each granted 30,000 through a 529 plan for qualified education expenses.

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 2021 to 2022, from $1.6M to $1.3M (−18%).
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.
93% of FOUNDATION OF THE UNITED STATES SECRET SERVICE ASSOCIATION’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (94% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $8k → $12k.
6 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 98% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
98% 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 FOUNDATION OF THE UNITED STATES SECRET SERVICE ASSOCIATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 92% · 2021 100% · 2022 94% · 2023 86% — 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
98% of FOUNDATION OF THE UNITED STATES SECRET SERVICE ASSOCIATION'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 $6k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Iowa, across 2 states.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $232k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
