What Plast Conference Inc does
Mission
Plast Conference Inc was registered as a 501(c)(3) corporation in 1995. Our primary mission from inception through February 2022 was to assist the development and growth of the worldwide Ukrainian scouting organizations. Funds were directed at programs to rain counselors. develop scout camps, support country organizational efforts and ensure that scouting policies and procedures were followed in all member countries. We also publish periodicals and training material for scouts and counselors. As a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, we have been providing medical and humanitarian aid to Ukrainian soldiers, their families and civilians displaced by the war. Various individuals, organizations and community entities (both Ukrainian and non-Ukrainian - refer to the schedule B listing) have provided financing to make this possible. The "new" activity did not curtail our primary scouting support mission during 2024, as we were able to continue to financially support t
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

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 2021 to 2022, from $610k to $1.3M (+118%).
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.
85% of PLAST CONFERENCE INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).

2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 8 funders, grant income rose $10k → $175k.
5 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 26% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
31% 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 PLAST CONFERENCE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2022 38% · 2023 57% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

PLAST CONFERENCE INC draws 93% of its grant income from funders outside New Jersey, across 4 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $142k 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.
