What Junior Achievement of Upstate South Carolina Inc does
Mission
Our mission is to inspire, prepare, and empower young people to own their economic success by delivering experiential programs focused on achieving financial literacy, developing entrepreneurship, and teaching workforce readiness skills.
As stated on its FY2020 Form 990.
Program
Elementary school: 120 classes involving 2,007 kindergarten through fifth grade students were taught by 42 volunteers. The programs delivered six sequential themes incorporating the basic concepts of business and economics and how education is relavent to the workplace. The sequential activities build on studies from each preceding grade and prepare students for secondary school and lifelong learning. Each program is comprised of five 30-45 minute sessions.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $133k to $0 (−100%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 4 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

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $45k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
