What Mathews-Dickey Boys' & Girls' Club does
Mission
See schedule othe Mathews-Dickey Boys' & Girls' Club, a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, was founded in 1960 by martin luther mathews and the late hubert "dickey" ballentine. Initially, the club was designed to provide structured recreational activities to neighborhood youths. Today, the club's goals are more focused and comprehensive. The Mathews-Dickey Boys' & Girls' Club's mission is to produce physically active, well-educated and hopeful youth with families at the center of our efforts. Our vision is to place the american dream in the grasp of children and their families by stimulating the pursuit of knowledge, attainment of a healthier life and the skills for greatness.
As stated on its FY2021 Form 990.
Program
Merger of the organization with another area not-for-profit entity, herbert hoover boys & girls club of st. Louis, which plans to continue to provide similar programs to the children mathews-dickey boys and girls club currently serves.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
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.
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 $3.5M to $0 (−100%).
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: 2020 19%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
68% 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 MATHEWS-DICKEY BOYS' & GIRLS' CLUB.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 55% · 2018 67% · 2019 72% · 2020 41% · 2021 79% · 2022 30% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $110k 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.
