What Simply Slavic does
Mission
Simply Slavic's mission is to educate both the large number of local slavic descendants and the greater youngstown community at-large about slavic heritage.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Our signature event is the Simply Slavic heritage festival, which takes place yearly on the friday and saturday of father's day weekend in june in downtown youngstown, ohio. Each year approximately 6,000 people attend the event, which showcases the rich traditions of the slavic culture by celebrating the food, music, dance, and customs of the various slavic ethnicities.
$89,512 spent85% of program spendingIn 2024, we held our second annual holiday themed event called "home for the slavidays". The purpose of this event is to share and showcase the rich holiday traditions of the slavic nations such as the polish wigilia/christmas eve dinner, the pagan slovenian krampus, jaslickari polish carolers, st. Nicholas, and music from chardon polka band. About 600 people were in attendance at this event.
$7,180 spent7% of program spendingSimply Slavic provides scholarships for second year or above undergraduates, graduate students, or doctoral candidates attending youngstown state university. We offer two scholarships per year of 1,000 each. Recipients are selected based on their academic achievements, volunteerism in the community, and their response to a 500-word essay on the prompt "how has the slavic culture influenced your life, in the past, present, and how will it into the future?" the scholarship winners are honored at our annual volunteer banquet.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 $89k to $102k (+15%).
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.
37% of SIMPLY SLAVIC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (62% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $19 → $275.
1 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

SIMPLY SLAVIC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 73% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 1 funder.

“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
100% of SIMPLY SLAVIC's grant income comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $80 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
