As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
NOTE: Program 1 and 2 are tied closely together, but Program 2 is a subset of Program 1.Program 1 Surf SwapSurf Swap is Surfing Moms core community program designed to provide accessible surf opportunities and peer support for mothers. In 2025, Surf Swap served approximately 230 members across 24 locations. The program facilitated regular meetups in which participants shared childcare responsibilities (swap model) to enable time in the water, fostering physical wellness, social connection, and mental health benefits.The objective of Surf Swap during this reporting period was to expand participation and geographic reach while maintaining consistent, community-led programming. The long-term goal is to build a sustainable, nationwide network of Surfing Moms chapters that increase access to the ocean and support maternal well-being through surfing and community connection.Participant numbers are based on reasonable estimates where exact attendance records were not available.________________________________________Program 2 Beyond the SwapBeyond the Swap is a skills-building and progression program designed to deepen participants engagement with surfing and ocean-based wellness.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $67k to $49k (−26%).
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.
77% of Surfing Moms’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.
Leadership and staff
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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
85% 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 Surfing Moms.
“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.
