What Science Engineering and Mathematics Link does
Mission
SEM Links mission is to enhance the self-efficacy of K-12 students in pursuing Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics STEM careers. This is achieved by connecting them with positive adult role models from the STEM community raising awareness of STEM careers and fostering engagement in STEM research through digital learning and hands-on activities. The Community STEM and Experimental Design Program benefitted over 500 youth in Metro Atlanta with support from around 30 STEM community volunteers. The Experimental Design Program successfully completed its 5th STEM Journal Club cohort graduating 6 students who produced a podcast episode for our SEM Explained podcast. Additionally the program dispatched approximately 10 volunteers to judge STEM fairs at local schools and district events.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Our Community STEM exposed youth to over 20 different STEM careers through our STEM at the Library Program Teen Science Cafe support of homeschool and micro-school and participation in selected community events.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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.
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.
100% of SCIENCE ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS LINK’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 2 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $6k → $135k.
3 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 45% 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 SCIENCE ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS LINK’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
SCIENCE ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS LINK leans on a few funders — its largest provides 43% of grant income and the top three 78%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
93% 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 SCIENCE ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS LINK.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 52% · 2021 52% · 2022 100% · 2023 55% — 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
40% of SCIENCE ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS LINK's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% 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
SCIENCE ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS LINK draws 81% of its grant income from funders outside Georgia, across 5 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $136k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
Against its field
SCIENCE ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS LINK's funding base is broadening — from 1 funders to 4 as grant income climbed.

These figures are read directly from IRS Form 990 / 990-PF e-file XML: this organization’s own return for FY2025 (financials across 2021–2025), and the filings of 8 funders that report grants to it. “On record” means captured in the filings we have parsed — a funder that does not e-file, or whose grant detail is not itemized, will not appear. Filings run roughly 12–24 months behind. Trends on this page end at FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving; later years are shown and marked, and move no figure.
