Program

  1. The Askinosie Foundation operates chocolate university with a combination of international and domestic programming. In rural tanzania, empowered girls and enlightened boys clubs meet after school once per week to learn important life skills, receive necessary feminine and general hygiene supplies and knowledge, and write vision statements to help set and accomplish their goals. Celebrations are highlighted with scholarships for university preparation classes and a student-led graduation ceremony. 2024 registration in the six clubs numbers 1200 students. The chekechea early learning center continues to succeed with increased independence in operations by the farmer-led cooperative. Enrollment was 110 students at the end of 2024 with increased enrollment and programming planned for 2025. Domestic programs continued to perform well with increased interest in classroom visits (15+ in 2024) and a new middle school collaboration with drury university's summerscape program.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 7 funders, grant income fell $102k → $86k.

8 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 84% 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 ASKINOSIE FOUNDATION’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

THE ASKINOSIE FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 31% of grant income and the top three 64%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

84% 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 ASKINOSIE FOUNDATION.

“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

63% of THE ASKINOSIE FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 1 year after their first grant; 64% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y

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

84% of THE ASKINOSIE FOUNDATION's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $65k that is directly attributable, 96% of it comes from Missouri funders.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $339k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
