What High School Bbq Inc does
Mission
The nonprofit corporation strives to preserve and promote bbq education and cook-offs through various state and regional competitions. All revenue generated is reinvested into various education programs, cook-offs, and scholarships.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
The High School BBQ Cookers Association is a Non Profit 501c3 educational organization created to promote and sanction educational extracurricular cook offs while promoting and preserving BBQ and Grilling education. This is done through State High School BBQ Championships, Regional State cook offs, High School BBQ Clubs, and various community and youth-oriented programs and BBQ/Grilling events to support career and technical education CTE in the Nation's classrooms. The High School BBQ Cookers Association goal is to enrich the lives of our student cookers through BBQ clubs and cook offs, promoting family values, life skills, character development, and leadership through educational events that provide scholarship opportunities. We establish strict guide lines and academic standards that allow our student cooks to excel in the classroom and in their community while achieving their educational goals and dreams. All revenue generated is reinvested into various CTE educational programs, cook offs, and scholarships. The High School BBQ Cookers Association HSBBQCA is true and committed to its mission of supporting Youth, Teachers, Vocational Education, Agriculture, and Community.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 $71k to $78k (+9%).
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.
100% of HIGH SCHOOL BBQ INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

“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
100% of HIGH SCHOOL BBQ INC's grant income comes from Texas funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $16 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.
