Mission
Increase survival rates of sudden cardiac arrest in youth through heart screenings, cpr/aed education and training, aed donations, sudden cardiac arrest education and scholars.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program

Building on the success of our youth program, we expanded our services by launching two adult heart screening events for individuals ages 18 and older. Nearly 200 adults received free heart screenings, helping identify potential cardiac concerns and connecting participants with appropriate follow-up care when needed. Aed distribution in central pa: through the end of 2025, we helped place nearly 400 automated external defibrillators (aeds) throughout central pennsylvania. Through our free and low-cost aed programs, we prioritize schools, youth sports organizations, and nonprofits to ensure lifesaving devices are available where they're needed most. Additionally, we install 24/7 public-access, climate-controlled outdoor aed cabinets in parks and other high-traffic community areas, ensuring the public has immediate access to a lifesaving aed…

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 2024 to 2025, from $941k to $1.3M (+43%).
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 19% · 2024 9% · 2025 30%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of PEYTON WALKER FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (82% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

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
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 9 funders, grant income rose $6k → $104k.
6 of 33 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 8% 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 PEYTON WALKER FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 33 funders by total. 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
PEYTON WALKER FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 36% of grant income and the top three 63%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
80% 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 PEYTON WALKER FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 83% · 2018 59% · 2020 44% · 2021 38% · 2022 29% · 2023 43% — diversifying over time.
“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
44% of PEYTON WALKER FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 42% 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
97% of PEYTON WALKER FOUNDATION's grant income comes from Pennsylvania funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $101k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
