Programs
Not described on the e-filed return.
$61,547 spent41% of program spendingThis project is to conduct green energy leadership training and hold a "Zero Emission, Circular Economy" forum, to cooperate with energy companies to solicit master student projects related to coal circular economy, and to use undergraduate summer program to engage in corporate practice or special research in circular economy. The "Zero Emission, Circular Economy" forum will be held in 2024 and 2025, and participated by OCEESA members and internationally renowned experts. In addition, a circular economy course will be developed and scheduled to be taught in the fall of 2024. This project will also promote the development of green energy and learn the common issues of circular economy thru student exchange from both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
$60,000 spent40% of program spendingThis project focuses on the concept of a circular economy for sustainable materials management by developing a recovery method of copper ions from plating waste copper nitrate solution to obtain copper oxalate and to recover nitric acid. Both lab-scale and pilot-scale studies will determine the scale-up factor for full-scale design and theTaguchi method will be employed to optimize size, yield, and crystallization kinetics. By using this effectively copper recovery approach, both energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions can be saved compared to extracting copper from natural sources.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 2023 to 2024, from $124k to $164k (+32%).
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. 1 of the last 2 reported years ran a deficit.

From the IRS filings of OVERSEAS CHINESE ENVIR ENGINEERS & SCIENTISTS ASSO’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
OVERSEAS CHINESE ENVIR ENGINEERS & SCIENTISTS ASSO leans on a few funders — its largest provides 99% 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
99% 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 OVERSEAS CHINESE ENVIR ENGINEERS & SCIENTISTS ASSO.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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
99% of OVERSEAS CHINESE ENVIR ENGINEERS & SCIENTISTS ASSO's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $3k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Ohio, across 1 state.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $531k 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.
