What Michigan Prosperity Project does
Mission
The purpose of the organization is to educate citizens about economic liberty and limited government and how economic liberty and limited government will achieve a freer and more and more prosperous society and increased individual freedom and prosperity for everyone.
As stated on its FY2021 Form 990.
Program
The Michigan Prosperity Project engaged in citizen education and awareness on issues relevant to our mission. This included mailings, radio and telephone calls on limited government issues. Driving awareness and action on issues of the day and making it easier for citizens to engage on these issues is vital to grow public engagement on issues facing the state of Michigan.
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 2017 to 2018, from $7k to $100k (+1261%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 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.
