Specifically, we believe that all students should be required to pass at least one course in ecomomics and one course in personal finance. Ideally, each course would be at least one semester in length. Through their teachers, we reach about 100,000 students each year through classroom instruction and by providing programs and competitions that engage students through experiential learning and practical applications of knowledge.

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 2021 to 2022, from $218k to $15k (−93%).
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: 2017 15% · 2018 18% · 2019 17% · 2020 32% · 2021 28% · 2022 46% · 2023 48% · 2024 27% · 2025 74%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
94% of KANSAS COUNCIL ON ECONOMIC EDUCATION’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (76% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 7 funders to 5 funders, grant income fell $51k → $26k.
4 of 15 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 14% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $762k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Kansas Council on Economic Education Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money KANSAS COUNCIL ON ECONOMIC EDUCATION raised.

KANSAS COUNCIL ON ECONOMIC EDUCATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 51% of grant income and the top three 72%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

“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
36% of KANSAS COUNCIL ON ECONOMIC EDUCATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 67% 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

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $39k 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.
