Programs
JASON TAYLOR READING ROOM In conjunction with each of the past Sixteen school years, the Jason Taylor Foundation has held classes for the Jason Taylor Reading Room. Typically located within New Renaissance Middle School in Miramar, the Jason Taylor Reading Room is a comprehensive after-school program designed to address academic challenges among inner-city youth, particularly in the areas of literacy. Normally, students participate in the program for two hours per day throughout the school year, and are navigated through a rotating academic focus calendar with assistance from a full-time Educational Director, certified teachers and teachers aids. In response to COVID-19, the Reading Room staff provided academic assistance virtually. The programs curriculum addresses vocabulary development, reading comprehension, language arts, creative writing skills, oral reading fluency and novel study, as well as ninety minutes of weekly math instruction per grade level. A virtual coding component was added this past year as well.
$38,929 spent$5,000 earned by the program7% of program spendingCOOL GEAR FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR For the nineteenth consecutive year, Jason Taylor held his Cool Gear for the School Year back-to-school shopping program, which serves to help build a childs self-esteem and eliminate an unnecessary distraction, allowing the child to focus on their studies and not their attire while at school. In 2023, the Jason Taylor Foundation hosted 60 underserved children at a local Old Navy store, providing each child with $300 to purchase school clothes. Children were treated to a meal and party, and then received assistance from Taylors wife, Monica (Vice President of the Foundation), along with other local personalities, and of course, received their new clothes. Since establishing this program in 2005, the Foundation has given out nearly $350,000 in clothes.

The program provides an environment for students to focus on literacy, prevention issues and social awareness as vehicles for self expression, both written and through performance, ultimately empowering young people, the schools they attend and the communities in which they live. In addition, by recognizing each poetry group as a member of the school districts overall network, rather than simply as an individual program, a greater sense of community is developed with ideas, creativity and understanding being shared across district boundaries. During the 2022-23 school year, nearly 50 schools actively participated in the Network. LOUDER THAN A BOMB FLORIDA Building upon the impact the Omari Hardwick bluapple Poetry Network has had on area youth, the Jason Taylor Foundation took bluapple to new heights by bringing the Super Bowl of Poetry to Broward County. In April, 2023, the Foundation held the sixth annual Louder Than a Bomb Florida…

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 $333k to $210k (−37%).
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.

How concentrated its funding is
JASON TAYLOR FOUNDATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 49% of grant income and the top three 63%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
77% 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 JASON TAYLOR FOUNDATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 36% · 2018 27% · 2019 42% · 2020 70% · 2021 62% · 2022 89% · 2023 53% — 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.
How long its funders stay
24% of JASON TAYLOR FOUNDATION INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 56% give in more than one year at all.
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. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
65% of JASON TAYLOR FOUNDATION INC'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 $369k that is directly attributable, 84% of it comes from Florida funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $696k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
