What Literacy Volunteers of America Bitterroot Inc does
Mission
We teach adults to become literate or complete their high school equivalency diploma to succeed as workers, parents, and citizens. We also help them enter training or gain employment.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
142 participants enrolled to learn basic reading, writing, and math skills through one-to-one and small group instruction. Students were 16 and older and not enrolled in public school. 48 students completed their high school equivalency diploma, 15 entered post-secondary education and 52 gained employment. Explanation of grants: We pay for all of our students online costs for the high school equivalency diploma. 75 students received scholar- ships for testing fees ranging from $15 to $75 per person and totaling $3,957. Fees were paid directly to the test center so funds could not be used for any other purpose.

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 2024 to 2025, from $307k to $343k (+12%).
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: 2021 75% · 2022 84% · 2023 70% · 2024 73% · 2025 82%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $3k → $21k.
1 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% 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 Literacy Volunteers of America Bitterroot 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.

Literacy Volunteers of America Bitterroot Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 65% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
65% 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 Literacy Volunteers of America Bitterroot Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 67% · 2019 77% · 2020 79% · 2021 76% · 2022 72% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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
100% of Literacy Volunteers of America Bitterroot Inc's grant income comes from Montana funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $32 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.
