What Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation does
Mission
The organization's primary purpose is to educate the public, both nationally and internationally, with regard to the origins of man and the universe. This is done through seminars, the training of leaders, and the production and distribution of books, videos, dvds and cds.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The program service expenses were incurred for the purpose of giving and attending seminars, the production of a dvd series, and the distribution of books, videos, dvds, and cds, with the purpose of educating the public with respect to the origins of man and the universe. Additional support and expenses were incurred to train leaders in uganda through whom our message as described in our mission statement will reach the whole of africa and the rest of the world. More specifically, we conducted 87 secondary school creation ambassadors club retreats; conducted 19 parish youth conferences. We defended the traditional catholic doctrine of creation as the only foundation of faith and culture of life at various gatherings and on radio so as to reach over 200,000 people. We also conducted an expedition to locate the remains of noah's ark on mt. Ararat and our priest chaplain was able to offer the holy sacrifice of the mass at the summit. The actual location and examination of the ark could not be undertaken because the area is controlled by the turkish government.

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 2018 to 2019, from $86k to $263k (+205%).
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.
96% of KOLBE CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF CREATION’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 KOLBE CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF CREATION’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.
Where its funders are
100% of KOLBE CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF CREATION'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $14k 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. 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.
