What Missouri Youth Sport Shooting Alliance does
Mission
To provide support for and foster communication between established youth shooting programs that promote safety, provide education and training to missouri youth and coaches, provide leadership and competition opportunities to missouri youth shooting sports participants.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
To raise money for shooting education, invest it and distribute the earnings in the form of grants to active missouri affiliated youth sport shooting organizations. These organizations include many ffa and boy scout clubs, as well as secondary school shooting teams and various other youth sport shooting educational programs and events. Current participation by missouri youth has reached nearly 24,000 youth in addition to training multiple shotgun coach trainers across the state of missouri.

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 2019 to 2020, from $191k to $270k (+41%).
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.

Who funds it, year by year

2 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 24% 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 MISSOURI YOUTH SPORT SHOOTING ALLIANCE’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
MISSOURI YOUTH SPORT SHOOTING ALLIANCE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 74% 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
98% 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 MISSOURI YOUTH SPORT SHOOTING ALLIANCE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 59% · 2020 54% · 2021 61% · 2022 100% · 2023 99% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $130k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
