What Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada does
Mission
To inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
Biztown combines in-class learning with a day-long visit to a simulated town. This popular learning experience allows elementary school students to operate banks, manage restaurants, write checks, and vote for mayor. Students are able to connect the dots between what they learn in school and the real world.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada is building better futures by teaching kids from k-12th grade how to be smart with their money; how to get ready for the workforce; and how to think like entrepreneurs.

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $2,312,430.
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 $9.4M to $16M (+74%).
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: 2021 19% · 2022 2% · 2023 4% · 2024 9% · 2025 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
91% of JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT OF SOUTHERN NEVADA’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (97% for the typical peer).

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.1M 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.
