What HOYA Foundation does
Mission
Our mission is twofold: 1 Help small businesses - especially minority and woman owned - develop to better be able to do work in transportation and construction and 2 Help girls discover sustainable careers in transportation and construction. Minority and women owned businesses traditionally get less than 12 of the work on public construction and transportation projects. Women are only 8 of the construction workforce. With high paying and sustainable jobs in construction, this career can have a huge impact on a woman's economic equity over her lifetime.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs

The HOYA Foundation manages this federal grant from the US Department of Transportation to assist small disadvantaged businesses in building their capacity to bid on and perform on transportation projects and professional service procurements. This grant covers a 5 state area - Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nebraska and South Dakota. The HOYA Foundation provides outreach, work with state agencies, building business capacity coaching for small businesses and Bonding Education Programs.

Currently, only 8 of the construction workforce is women. That means huge opportunity for young women. Transportation and Construction Girl Day starts with fun and cool exhibits from 8:30am - 11:30am. The HOYA Foundation presents 4 scholarships and honors the young girls who graduated from Career Days for Girls. Girls are seated with sponsors so that they can learn more about the business of construction and create connections that can support them through their careers.

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 2024 to 2025, from $269k to $354k (+31%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2019 69% · 2020 72% · 2021 74% · 2022 72% · 2023 57% · 2024 58% · 2025 54%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of HOYA Foundation’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (54% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 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 7 funders, grant income rose $5k → $38k.
4 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 46% 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 HOYA Foundation’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
HOYA Foundation leans on a few funders — its largest provides 30% of grant income and the top three 70%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
46% 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 HOYA Foundation.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 99% · 2021 99% · 2022 60% · 2023 26% — 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
HOYA Foundation draws 82% of its grant income from funders outside Colorado, across 4 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $55k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
