What National Workforce Registry Alliance Inc does
Mission
The national workforce registry alliance advances an equitably recognized and represented early childhood and out-of-school time workforce, by strengthening data quality and establishing professional development system standards for registries.
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990.
Program
Effective at the close of business on December 31, 2024, NWRA completed a board-approved transfer of specified assets and program operations to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, acting on behalf of the Buffett Early Childhood Institute. The transaction was an asset transfer and did not constitute a merger or transfer of governance over NWRA as a separate Wisconsin nonprofit corporation. Implementation of the operational transition continued during the first several months of 2025. NWRA subsequently resumed independent organizational activity while the parties negotiated the return of specified assets. After fiscal year-end, the parties executed an agreement providing for the return of specified assets effective February 27, 2026. NWRA filed articles of dissolution in Wisconsin effective May 31, 2025, but revoked the dissolution on June 26, 2025. The revocation was retroactive under Wisconsin law, and NWRAs corporate existence remained continuous.

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 2020 to 2021, from $209k to $294k (+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.
30% of National Workforce Registry Alliance Inc’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $25k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
