What Sweet Pea Foundation Inc does
Mission
The sweet pea foundation was formed to achieve three goals: 1) to establish an annual contribution fund to the ronald mcdonald house of indiana, 2) to support organizations already established in hospitals that provide care and entertainment for sick children, and 3) to establish a relationship with hospitals and organizations in smaller communities that are caring for sick children. Assistance will be two-fold: financial contributions and donations of food, supplies, and toys.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Over 27,000 toys, 15,000 books, 450 big ticket items purchased and delivered to children's hospitals in indiana, illinois and kentucky and ohio. An annual contribution to ronald mcdonald house in indiana is made, now up to $64,500 in total. Several murals have been commissioned and painted at st. Joseph medical center in mishawaka, in. The foundation has also given over 5,285 "hugs from grace" holiday and birthday-themed activity bags to children in hospitals.over 1 million pop can tabs have been collected and recycled for ronald mcdonald charities.

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 $507k to $672k (+33%).
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.
51% of SWEET PEA FOUNDATION INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (95% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
