What Operation Progress Fort Worth does
Mission
Operation Progress Fort Worth empowers underserved youth to become educated, ethical and productive adults who reach their full potential and positively contribute to society. To do this, we are committed to supporting participating scholars from elementary school through college with our comprehensive program called the five pillars of success.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Scholarship and academic support: Operation Progress Fort Worth (opfw) provided individualized academic case management to each scholar. Academic programming focused on transforming scholars into knowledgeable and critical thinkers, allows them to develop and perfect effective study strategies, requires them to minimally achieve a 3.0 gpa, and aims to shift the scholars' mindset to make academics a key priority. Additionally, opfw provides scholarship assistance for such scholars.

The five pillars of success are academics, life skills, health and wellness, service and safety, and support. The goal of the five pillars of success is for the scholars to build character, social competency, leadership skills, and emotional intelligence. The expanded learning programs provided fundamental educational opportunities that scholars otherwise would not have and will include arts, music, coping skills and fitness.
$66,011 spent46% of program spendingMentorship: fort worth police officers serve as mentors and engage with scholars at least one time per month. Additionally, officers participated in mentor training one time per month. Such mentoring aided in providing support and safety, and built trust in the police-community relationship. The supportive relationship of mentors, parents, staff, and other caring adults are essential in the biopsychosocial growth of youth; mentoring provides a formal, structured caring relationship.

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. 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 2023 to 2024, from $92k to $465k (+404%).
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: 2023 0% · 2024 11% · 2025 86%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
90% of OPERATION PROGRESS FORT WORTH’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (99% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2022: the base narrowed from 3 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $175k → $50k.
1 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 10% 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 OPERATION PROGRESS FORT WORTH’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
OPERATION PROGRESS FORT WORTH leans on a few funders — its largest provides 56% of grant income and the top three 83%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
66% 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 OPERATION PROGRESS FORT WORTH.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 43% · 2021 100% · 2022 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

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $75k 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.
