What Kids on Point Inc does
Mission
Kids on point introduces young people to the world of opportunity outside of their underserved neighborhoods through year-round academic, athletic, and enrichment support programs.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Kids on point was founded on the premise that in order to make a meaningful and long-lasting impact on our students, we must work with students, families, schools, and community organizations intensively over many, many years. 3 hours per day, 5 days per week, 6-weeks of summer programming, and a 12-year commitment per child is how kids on point is addressing the systemic issues of poverty for our kids. Kids on point does this by providing academic support and tutoring, mentoring, civic engagement opportunities, life skills development, real-life experiences, through college tours, travel, and exposure to outside opportunities, and the sport of squash. We work with organizations like the college of charleston, who provides our facility space, office space, and 65 undergraduate volunteers/mentors who provide daily academic and tutoring support for our students. In addition, kids on point works with countless other community organizations to ensure our students and families have an ecosystem of support.

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 2020 to 2021, from $528k to $785k (+49%).
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: 2022 9% · 2024 20%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
94% of KIDS ON POINT INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (13% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 32 funders, grant income rose $30k → $694k.
12 of 57 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 29% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of KIDS ON POINT INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 57 funders by total. Association, not causation. 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 concentrated its funding is
KIDS ON POINT INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 14% of grant income, and it takes 7 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 7 funders to its left
35% 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 KIDS ON POINT INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 84% · 2018 28% · 2019 44% · 2020 16% · 2021 19% · 2022 14% · 2023 12% — diversifying over time.
“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
65% of KIDS ON POINT INC'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
KIDS ON POINT INC draws 82% of its grant income from funders outside South Carolina, across 15 states in all.
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. 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.
