What Miracle Dancer Scholarship Found does
Mission
Miracle Dancers is a dance troupe in Louisville, KY comprised solely of handicapped children through age 18. The dancers have improved physical and mental acuity and an improved sense of accomplishment and self-worth. Donations are used to help financial need students.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Upon acceptance by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) entity during late 2012 fundraising programs commenced to accumulate donations to provide help to families in need of assistance through scholarship grants. Other revenue amounts are provided from the families of the students in the form of tuition payments for dance instruction. 44 students were provided weekly dance instruction during a ten month school year by the organization. Students were able to perform in various venues including a broadcast performance by the Crusade for Children, a local fund-raising organization which provides funding for medical needs for handicapped children throughout a two state area. Donation request and grant applications have been submitted by the Foundation and were pending at the end of the fiscal year for additional funding. 13 scholarships were provided by the Foundation to students with demonstrated financial need. Costume assistance was provided to 33 students.

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 2022 to 2023, from $41k to $10k (−75%).
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: 2023 16% · 2024 21% · 2025 21%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
21% of Miracle Dancer Scholarship Found’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (65% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
