What The Access Foundation does
Mission
Youth development and mentoring
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Stem literacy program to provide scholarships or programming to help youth between the ages of 10-18 obtain foundational stem skills through a robust holistic stem program that includes health and wellness and leadership development information.
Healing hike for mental wellness to promote mental wellness physical activity and community support among black boys through guided hiking mindfulness exercises and open discussions.
Community services and family engagement since the 2020 pandemic The Access Foundation team has provided food diapers milk clothes and utility assistance to over 60000 families. We plan to continue offering free food and resources quarterly. Providing the opportunity for our mentees to learn the importance of community service will positively impact them and the communities they serve.
The 3 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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.
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 THE ACCESS FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (99% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 2 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income rose $5k → $9k.
1 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 12% 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 THE ACCESS FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 8 of 9 funders by total. 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
THE ACCESS FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 33% of grant income and the top three 73%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
27% 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 THE ACCESS FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 95% · 2020 80% · 2021 45% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“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
0% of THE ACCESS FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 33% 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
53% of THE ACCESS FOUNDATION's grant income comes from Missouri funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $13k 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.

THE ACCESS FOUNDATION has grown faster than half of the 4,682 youth development nonprofits its size.
