What Kalamazoo Black Male Association does
Mission
The Kalamazoo Black Male Alliance is a group who work to improve the quality of life for Black men and boys in the community. The KBMA was founded by a group of likeminded professionals who wanted to create a safe space for Black men to share their experiences and discuss solutions to the challenges they face. The KBMA holds regular meetings and hosts special events throughout the year to promote education entrepreneurship and positive social interaction. This group also advocates for policy reform that will benefit Black males of all ages.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 $42k to $3k (−93%).
How it's funded, over time

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $41k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
