Programs
Omaha hope employment and learning academy - the omaha program offers a strengths based education program in which students in grades k - 12 receive academic support, including homework assistance and remedial tutoring. The grade levels are split into k - 6 and grades 7 - 12. Both of the age groups offer a variety of activities designed to keep students engaged in learning year-round. For high school students, activities are geared toward preparing youth for college by developing a career plan, working on scholarships and understanding undergraduate requirements. The employment academy program is an employability program designed for high school students. The curriculum materials include the topics of financial literacy, conflict resolution and wellness information to develop healthy lifestyle choices. Guest speakers offer information on career options and an opportunity to meet leaders in the community. The youth in the employment academy receive a stipend for meeting the requirements.

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 2022 to 2023, from $4.5M to $7.7M (+71%).
How it's funded, over time

From the IRS filings of HOPE CENTER FOR KIDS INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 65 funders by total. 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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 7 funders to its left
28% 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 HOPE CENTER FOR KIDS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 19% · 2018 12% · 2019 16% · 2020 20% · 2021 22% · 2022 19% · 2023 22% — growing more concentrated.
“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.

Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $593k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
