Programs
Community and Workforce Development: The Building Community (TBC) and its Executive Director was chosen as a 2025 Rural Champion by Kansas Commerce's Office of Rural Preservation. Through this program, TBC supported the Fredonia Unified School District USD 484, the Fredonia Jr/Sr High School, and gatekeepers across the community to assess and prioritize its needs for training and workforce development in response to the 2024 Housing Assessment results, which indicated a need for skilled trades and construction labor for housing development. TBC conducted community meetings, helped the JR/Sr High School expand its career academy program, and organized efforts to establish a regional workforce development and recreation center in Fredonia.

Efforts are underway to produce new historic building signage, standing banners, window installations, and other activities to activate the downtown square and counteract population decline in the community.

The program trains volunteers under the supervision of a part time contractor to conduct outreach sessions to individuals and families who are literally homeless, at safe public locations, build trust, provide basic needs supplies, and conduct Coordinated Entry assessments through the Homeless Management Information System database. TBC participates in the KS Balance of State CoC and the Coordinated Entry System to manage referrals to housing and supportive services. TBC also received funds for homelessness prevention for individuals who are at imminent risk of homelessness, which pay for rental arrears, utilities, moving costs and deposits. TBC conducted a county-wide meeting to plan and prepare for this program, and a wide array of networking meetings to build partnerships.

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 and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $250 to $33k (+13214%).
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 BUILDING COMMUNITY’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (77% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 BUILDING COMMUNITY’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.
Where its funders are
100% of THE BUILDING COMMUNITY'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5k 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.
