What Shout Inc does
Mission
The programs mission is to normalize difference, encourage inclusion, and build understanding around the challenges experienced by students with different abilities while developing student leaders within the community.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Buddy program students with disabilities and their general education peers are paired together and meet at least once a month for activities that encourage inclusion, acceptance and normalizing differences. Buddy program directors work with teachers in planning skills-based activities that create genuine connection. Activities have included: breakfast and bingo, kitchen and cooking skills, crafts for sensory play and fine-motor development, holiday celebrations, buddy bracelets, buddy olympics, and even field trips such as bowling. Our goal is to create authentic learning experiences that help both special education and general education students learn and grow together and truly see each other as friends. Students demonstrate adaptability, resilience and leadership as sammys buddy program uses creative ways to help them connect and grow.
$26,395 spent10% of program spendingInclusion library in 2021, sammys buddy program began a new initiative, inclusion libraries. We provide a library of books for each participating classroom and school library that builds understanding, celebrates differences and promotes inclusion, kindness, advocacy, and disability representation. Additionally, we host presentations by authors, activists, students, and leaders within the diability community to share their life experiences as they encourage students with disabilities, and their typical peers, to speak up and speak out for inclusion and equality. Our buddies learn invaluable lessons that will make them better friends and stronger leaders.
$4,901 spent2% of program spendingKindness campaign in 2020 we launched our first school-wide kindness campaigns with the goal of promoting kindness and inclusion in an active, impactful way. Thousands of students have now participated in these programs. Throughout the campaigns, students write notes, wear kidness bracelets and pins, and make a pledge to focus on kindness and inclusion. They also particpate in lessons and activities that promote engagement in real-world settings. Over several weeks students watch for others acts of kindness and nominate peers for recognition and awards. The kindness campaigns help transform classrooms and playgrounds into places of safety, encouregment, advocacy, and inclusion.

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. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $259k to $375k (+45%).
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 SHOUT INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $5k → $48k.
2 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 24% 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 SHOUT 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.
How concentrated its funding is
SHOUT INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 25% 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
39% 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 SHOUT INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 83% · 2021 100% · 2022 71% · 2023 48% — 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
33% of SHOUT INC's funders are still giving 1 year after their first grant; 50% 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
67% of SHOUT INC's grant income comes from Colorado funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $39k 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.
