What Mississippi Council on Economic Education does
Mission
The mission of the Mississippi Council on Economic Education (mcee) is to increase economic and financial literacy in mississippi by providing resources and training to k-12 educators, promoting workforce development and empowering students to create a more prosperous future for themselves and mississippi.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The original master teacher of economics professional development program was provided in partnership with the mississiippi superintendent of education to enable teachers to learn how to effectively teach microeconomics and macroeconomics. Since that time, we have added master teacher programs in personal finance, entrepreneurship, college and career readiness and career readiness. 2,308 teachers have completed these programs and are proving that it is a tremendous investment with a significant return to the human capital of our state.students are required to take one semester of economics and one year of college and career readiness (personal finance) in order to graduate from high school. Teachers who participated in these programs earned a certificate from the ms department of education. On average, teachers that complete a master teacher program show an increase in knowledge as measured by testing and assignments. Over 20,000 teachers have been trained in these and other professional development workshops and webinars and have reached approximately 2,000,000 students over the years via classroom instruction and student programs offered by mcee.

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 $1.3M to $1.2M (−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: 2017 50% · 2018 46% · 2019 6% · 2020 28%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
92% of MISSISSIPPI COUNCIL ON ECONOMIC EDUCATION’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 7 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $7k → $61k.
6 of 18 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 43% 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 MISSISSIPPI COUNCIL ON ECONOMIC EDUCATION’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.
How concentrated its funding is
MISSISSIPPI COUNCIL ON ECONOMIC EDUCATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 18% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
73% 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 MISSISSIPPI COUNCIL ON ECONOMIC EDUCATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 74% · 2018 68% · 2019 41% · 2020 55% · 2021 38% · 2022 38% · 2023 41% — diversifying over time.
“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.
How long its funders stay
27% of MISSISSIPPI COUNCIL ON ECONOMIC EDUCATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 56% give in more than one year at all.
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. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
MISSISSIPPI COUNCIL ON ECONOMIC EDUCATION draws 78% of its grant income from funders outside Mississippi, across 9 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $329k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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. 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.
