What My Cup of Tea Inc does
Mission
My Cup of Tea Inc.'s (mcot) mission is to walk women beyond the boundaries of poverty and neglect and assist them in finding their purpose. Specifically, mcot uses tea packaging and distribution to train under served women of the 38111 and 38104 zip codes in urban memphis, tennessee.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Tea operations: mcot is located squarely within orange mound and its tea operation gives the women of orange mound valuable training in all aspects of the tea operation. From building shipping containers from scratch, to identifying, sorting and packaging the tea, there are opportunities for each woman, no matter her initial skill level. This vocational, hands-on training also includes elements of computer literacy, financial planning/budgeting, ged preparation and in many instances, life recovery. To date, over 25 women have successfully completed various classes. The ultimate goal of mcot is to equip the under-served women of orange mound with life skills that lead to full-time, gainful employment.

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 $315k to $163k (−48%).
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 8% · 2021 1% · 2022 1% · 2023 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
96% of My Cup of Tea Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 6 funders, grant income rose $35k → $66k.
10 of 20 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 75% 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 My Cup of Tea Inc’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
My Cup of Tea Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 35% of grant income and the top three 60%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
76% 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 My Cup of Tea Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 71% · 2019 61% · 2020 61% · 2021 34% · 2022 32% · 2023 42% — 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
71% of My Cup of Tea Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 45% 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
75% of My Cup of Tea Inc's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $170k that is directly attributable, 51% of it comes from Tennessee funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $499k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
