What Origin Project Incorporated does
Mission
The origin project seeks to inspire students to find their voices through the craft of writing about their appalachian roots.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Program
The program provides students with a writing journal at the beginning of the school year to allow them to work on their writing project about origin. They take field trips to places in the commonwealth that celebrate history, music, theater and literature. They enjoy visits from guest authors in historic places including the barter theater in abingdon. Their final writing projects are published at the end of the school year in an anthology and presented in an assembly. Every student receives a copy of the anthology; they are also made available in every school and public library. The anthology is published by the gupta family foundation in virginia. The origin project fosters a life-long love of reading and writing in students in grades 2-12. Our family stories are the building blocks of our self-esteem and dreams for the future.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 $115k to $156k (+35%).
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 ORIGIN PROJECT INCORPORATED’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (78% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.
