What Oldham County Educational Foundation Inc does
Mission
We raise funds to meet the needs in our school district which are not covered by the state budget. This directly impacts the quality of education our students receive in the classroom! We support the implementation of new technology, innovative projects, specialized equipment for special needs, and programs which go above and beyond the traditional core subjects. Through our support of STEM programs, the arts at CAPAA, literacy development, early childhood education, and teacher grants, The Educational Foundation is able to make a yearly impact in each and every one of our Oldham County Schools!
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Pyramid Awards have been a keystone program of OCEF that has been sustained from the beginning of the foundation in 1989. These individual grants up to $1250 are competitively awarded to teachers or staff for the most engaging classroom project applications each year. Our board believes strongly that these innovations can maintain Oldham County Schools as one of the best school districts, and that our educators should have resources to make them a reality.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $10k to $82k (+751%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year

“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
30% of OLDHAM COUNTY EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 55% 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
OLDHAM COUNTY EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION INC draws 84% of its grant income from funders outside Kentucky, across 4 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $13k 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.
