What Hollis Brookline Robotics Booster does
Mission
Form 990-EZ, Part III, Statement of Program Service Accomplishments - Statement 3 The Mission of the Hollis Brookline Robotics Booster is to promote, guide and support all robotics K-12 programs within Hollis and Brookline. Our primary financial focus is on the high school robotics team FRC 1073 because they require the most support, but we engage with all teams in the Hollis Brookline communities. This year HBRB supported one FTC team 22760 at the middle school, one Community FTC team 24488 and a community FIRST Lego League team 62986 within the Hollis and Brookline communities. More information about FIRST can be found at http://www.firstinspires.org.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

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 2024 to 2025, from $86k to $47k (−45%).
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.
96% of HOLLIS BROOKLINE ROBOTICS BOOSTER’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (65% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 5 funders, grant income rose $163 → $20k.
3 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 84% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
HOLLIS BROOKLINE ROBOTICS BOOSTER leans on a few funders — its largest provides 69% of grant income and the top three 91%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
87% 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 HOLLIS BROOKLINE ROBOTICS BOOSTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 72% · 2023 49% — 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
84% of HOLLIS BROOKLINE ROBOTICS BOOSTER'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 $11k that is directly attributable, 82% of it comes from funders outside New Hampshire, across 3 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $58k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
