What The Association of Catholic Student Councils does
Mission
(TACSC) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to develop moral leaders, anchored in faith, who positively impact our world.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
TACSC Summer Leadership Conference program provides an opportunity for training 6th, 7th and 8th grade students to launch their life leadership journey to develop a set of critical leadership skills and abilities. Student leaders learn valuable life leadership lessons in becoming effective communicators, real world strategic planners, life-long mentors and servant leaders through a series of in class leadership learning workshops. Student leaders complete the program prepared to take charge, inspire others, and make a difference in their schools and communities. They are guided through their 5day/4 night program by our well trained volunteer staff of high school, college students and adult mentors, most of whom are alumni of TACSC Summer Conferences and programs.
$388,378 spent100% of program spendingTACSC also offers Student Leadership Days (SLD) which is a one day version of the TACSC Summer Program, teaching these life lessons with peer-to-peer workshops that have a similar impact and inspire students to continue with their leadership journey and our Summer Program. These SLDs provide valuable and immediately applicable leadership lessons through hands-on training, activities and experiences for 5th, 6th and 7th grade students. The curriculum includes informative leadership workshops in communication, presentation skills, meeting management and goal settings.

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.
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 $218k to $62k (−72%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 5% · 2022 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 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.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $341 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.
