Programs
In 2024, The Golden S.E.E.D.S. Foundation celebrated the completion and closing of seven newly constructed affordable homes. To support these new homeowners and other community members on their journey, we coupled the housing initiative with our Mastering the Move educational learning series. The first cohort included 20 participants who engaged in weekly, interactive learning sessions covering essential topics such as financial preparedness, home maintenance, mortgage management, property taxes, insurance, estate planning, and community engagement. Participants not only received invaluable education impacting both their homebuying and homeownership experience but were also gifted customized new homeowner tool packages, which included: * A 6-foot ladder * HVAC filters tailored to each participant's home unit * A complete starter toolkit containing essential tools for minor household repairs These practical resources reinforced the program's mission to prepare new homeowners to confidently manage and maintain their homes. Mastering the Move has had a measurable impact-helping families transition from renters to informed, empowered homeowners who can sustain their investments and…
$203,510 spent$1,873 earned by the program25% of program spendingAffordable housing refers to housing units that are affordable to those with a median household income or below, ensuring that residents do not spend more than 30% of their gross income on housing costs, including rent or mortgage payments and utilities. The primary goal of affordable housing projects is to prevent individuals and families from becoming cost-burdened, which can lead to financial instability and homelessness.

The organization over time
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $117k to $895k (+662%).
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 0% · 2022 22% · 2023 59% · 2024 79%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
91% of THE GOLDEN SEEDS FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (37% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base narrowed from 5 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $204k → $8k.
2 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 75% 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 GOLDEN SEEDS 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 GOLDEN SEEDS FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 40% of grant income and the top three 88%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
85% 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 GOLDEN SEEDS FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 52% · 2021 65% · 2022 71% · 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.
Where its funders are
75% of THE GOLDEN SEEDS 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 $141k that is directly attributable, 71% of it comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $428k 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.
