01What it does

What Reda Educational Foundation does

Mission

The mission of the Reda Educational Foundation (ref) is to provide need based financial support to qualifying, motivated, first-generation students who do not qualify for full-ride scholarships to college.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Program

  1. The Reda Educational Foundation administers a comprehensive scholarship program designed to support college students from low-income households. This initiative is rooted in the belief that access to quality education can transform lives and communities. By providing financial assistance and academic support, the program helps students overcome economic barriers, pursue their educational goals, and build a foundation for long-term success. Scholarships are awarded based on need, merit, and potential, with a focus on empowering students to thrive academically and contribute meaningfully to their communities.

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. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.

3 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 87% 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 REDA EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION’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

REDA EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 72% of grant income and the top three 92%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

87% 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 REDA EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION.

“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

87% of REDA EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION'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 $14k that is directly attributable, 79% of it comes from funders outside Kansas, across 2 states.

KS

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $91k 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.
