What Koko AI Inc does

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Single Session InterventionsKoko's Single-Session Interventions (SSIs) are brief, structured, evidence-based mental health exercises designed to help individuals manage distress and access immediate support. Delivered through simple, self-guided online experiences that typically take less than 10 minutes to complete, these interventions are accessible without requiring login, sign-up, or transfer of personal data, reducing barriers to care for young people in need of support. During the year, Koko's SSIs addressed a range of mental health needs, including mental health first aid skills, mood regulation, cognitive reframing, body image and body neutrality, self-harm coping, and personalized safety planning. These interventions served as an early support bridge, helping users de-escalate distress, build practical coping skills, and connect to the appropriate level of care. In addition to measurable outcomes, the program's achievements included expanding access to evidence-based mental health support in a low-friction format, offering immediate help at moments of need, and strengthening users' sense of agency, resilience, and readiness to seek further support.
$432,085 spent$16,667 earned by the program39% of program spendingPeer to Peer SupportKoko's peer support platform enables users to exchange short, anonymous messages of support, creating a safe and accessible space where young people can both receive encouragement and help others in moments of distress. Grounded in the belief that helping others can also support one's own healing, the platform fosters connection, empathy, and community at scale. During the year, this program represented the majority of Koko's overall reach and impact, serving as a core entry point for individuals seeking mental health support. In addition to its measurable reach, the platform created meaningful moments of human connection that helped users feel seen, supported, and less alone. The program also advanced Koko's broader mission by strengthening access to timely emotional support, informing continued platform development, and contributing to a vision for more personalized pathways that connect young people to the most appropriate forms of care.
$415,340 spent38% of program spendingPartner Implementation and DeliveryKoko's partner implementation and delivery program expands access to free, evidence-based mental health support by embedding its interventions directly into the digital platforms and online spaces where young people already spend time. Through partnerships with social platforms, online communities, state initiatives, and research and education institutions, Koko extends the reach of its single-session interventions and peer support tools to broad and diverse audiences. During the year, the organization advanced this work through both ongoing and project-based collaborations, supporting direct service access, tailored implementation, and the continued development of scalable mental health support infrastructure. This program furthered Koko's exempt purpose by increasing the availability of timely, accessible support in high-need digital environments, strengthening collaboration across sectors, and laying the groundwork for more integrated care pathways that connect young people to the most appropriate forms of support.

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 2023 to 2024, from $748k to $1.4M (+88%).
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.
97% of Koko AI Inc’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (51% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income fell $350k → $158k.
6 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 56% 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 Koko AI Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
Koko AI Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 29% of grant income and the top three 72%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
100% 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 Koko AI Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 88% — 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.
Where its funders are
56% of Koko AI Inc's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $1.4M that is directly attributable, 67% of it comes from funders outside California, across 2 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.7M arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
