What Omni Nano does
Mission
Stem/Nanotechnology Education - Omni Nano teaches students the essential STEM skills for the careers of the future, through nanotechnology. Our mission is to inspire today's youth to become tomorrow's scientists, engineers, and STEM entrepreneurs. We offer free workshops and complete courses in nanotechnology for schools, after-school programs, and youth conferences. As pioneers in digital curricula, we provide online/hybrid courses for high school and college students, adaptable to virtual, traditional, flipped, and hybrid classrooms. Our materials, uniquely suited for secondary school and community college students, introduce problem-solving in advanced science, focusing on nanotechnologys potential. We aim to foster a new generation of American students educated in and passionate about nanotechnology, ready to contribute to national innovation and prosperity. By showcasing cutting-edge STEM applications, we empower students to pursue fulfilling careers that can positively impact the

Programs
Overview: The Nanotechnology Curricula Project is developing digital nanotechnology textbooks and curricula for students at the high school and college levels. This project brings educational materials for both students and teachers into the classroom as well as online learning environments. Our full package of digital educational materials includes our innovative and interactive textbook, syllabi, assessment and testing materials, labs and other hands-on projects, and other online learning tools. Our student-centered, hands-on curricula are designed to motivate college-bound and undergraduate college students to pursue STEM collegiate majors and professional careers. Our flexible curriculum is built as a modular series which can be tailored to fit instructors existing lesson plans and timetables, and can be made available in most common Learning Management Systems (LMSs) such as Blackboard, Canvas, and Schoology. These resources provide science teachers with everything they need to start teaching nanotechnology at their institutions, whether as a stand-alone class or integrated into another science class. And our curriculas mix of interactive and multimedia content with…
$10,478 spent80% of program spendingOverview: Through the Discover Nanotechnology Project, we provide free nanotechnology workshops to high schools, after-school programs, and youth conferences. These fun, hands-on workshops are designed to encourage students toward pursuing STEM careers by focusing on the practical applications of nanotechnology, which can be explained in terms of more general STEM concepts from chemistry, physics, and biology.Impact: As the end of 2024, we have conducted a total of 315 workshops, inspiring over 12,400 students and weve been invited to return by every host. We take pride in serving a diverse population of students including many from Title I schools, defined as institutions where 40+% of students are from low-income families. We strive to offer high-quality education to all students regardless of any factors such as location, socioeconomic status, ability, age, ethnicity, or gender identity. ..

These courses provide an in-depth survey of the science behind nanotechnology with more opportunities for hands-on learning and STEM skill development. Our curriculas mix of interactive and multimedia content with applications to real-world problems gives every student something to connect with.Impact: In 2024 this project focused mostly on training science teachers to use our digital textbook to offer a nanotechnology course at their institution. .

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 $10k to $99k (+896%).
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.
100% of OMNI NANO’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (89% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base narrowed from 3 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $35k → $40.
1 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% 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 OMNI NANO’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
OMNI NANO leans on a few funders — its largest provides 71% 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
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 71% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“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.
Where its funders are
OMNI NANO draws 71% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 2 states in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $141 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.
Against its field
OMNI NANO's revenue fell 78% between 2017 and 2024.
