Programs
Mary T. Wellcome Child Care:Child Development Center of PWCC prepares children from low-income families for success in school by providing safe, affordable, quality pre-academic programming for children ages six week to six years old. Our research-based, nationally accredited curriculum ensures kids are ahead of the curve, teaching developmentally appropriate math, language, literacy, creative arts, social and emotional development, and cultural awareness skills. Staff work closely with parents to ensure each child achieves important milestones for development. Our youth development and skills-building programs offer options for all age groups and include coding courses and esports for kids and teens, basic digital literacy for all ages, and mentorship. Community Resource Services provides wraparound services to clients in any of our programs to connect them to needed resources and support. By partnering with other nonprofits, this program allows PWCC staff to assess the holistic needs of clients on an individual basis and ensure they are able to access everything they need in order to maintain success after completion of our programming.

The Quality Parenting Academy works to help families involved with Child Protection Services to prevent legal separation from occurring and to reunite families after it has. Participants identify personal and family aspirations, and work toward achieving realistic personal and family stability goals. Activities help participants strengthen their parenting skills, learn ways to resolve conflict, and build family and community leadership skills. Our Covid Community Connection program provides free testing and vaccinations to all people who need them and serves as a trustworthy source of information on Covid-19 and vaccine hesitance. The program also provides mental health support for those whose recovery from the pandemic has been difficult due to depression and other mental illnesses.
$772,106 spent36% of program spendingYouth Programming:Be@School - Year-round activities, during and after school and during the summer months provide school-age children and youth with stable, positive role models and mentors who build and reinforce academic and life skills by providing mentorship and working with families to address a child's trouble areas at school. The programs focus on strengthening family and community to accelerate kids' learning, build developmental assets, promote leadership skills, divert them from engaging in high-risk activities, and work with low-performing students to get them back on track. Our youth programs include Be@School, our truancy diversion partnership with Minneapolis Public Schools and Hennepin County; RISE: Building Bridges Through Basketball, which gives youth and teens a safe space to have important conversations and learn about themselves while creating a dialogue between Black youth and police officers; our early childhood development center; and our newest project which will restore the 100-acre camp that was donated to PWCC in 1956 to serve as a place for our inner city kids to experience the numerous benefits of spending time outdoors.

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 $3.7M to $3.2M (−13%).
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: 2020 41% · 2021 53% · 2022 50% · 2023 0% · 2024 45%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

How concentrated its funding is
Phyllis Wheatley Community Center Inc has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 23% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
79% 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 Phyllis Wheatley Community Center Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 68% · 2018 90% · 2019 54% · 2020 52% · 2021 30% · 2022 22% · 2023 21% — 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.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $551k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
