What Rolling Readers Space Coast Inc does
Mission
To inspire children's love of reading, touch their imaginations and creativity through books and build a community of successful, life-long readers by providing trained, committed volunteers and new books to at-risk elementary aged school children.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Rolling readers has been sharing the joy of reading with brevard county children since 1997. Our mission is to develop in chidren a desire to be lifelong readers. Research shows reading skills are the foundation needed to help children achieve success in education and in life. With close to 60 volunteers during 2024-2025, we provided weekly read aloud sessions in classrooms (pre-kindergarten through fifth grade), and tutor/mentor services for struggling second and third grade readers. During the 2024- 2025 school year, we reached out to students in 12 brevard county title I schools through our read aloud program,tutor/mentor reading skills program, and grade level reading intervention program. In march, each child participating in one of our programs received a hard cover book as a gift. For some, this is the first book they can call their own. Classroom teachers also receive a gift book for their classroom library. Rolling readers is making a difference in the lives of area children,one book at a time.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 $102k to $19k (−81%).
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: 2017 29%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of ROLLING READERS SPACE COAST INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (65% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $9k → $25k.
3 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 35% 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 ROLLING READERS SPACE COAST INC’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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 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 ROLLING READERS SPACE COAST INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 71% · 2018 72% · 2019 70% · 2020 82% · 2021 92% · 2022 87% · 2023 66% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $50k 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.
