What The House Cafe Inc does
Mission
Endeavors that will equip and empower ogden children and youth with resources, abilities, and education to escape a generational cycle of poverty. These endeavors confront, without limitations, contributing factors to poverty such as drug abuse, high crime rates, lack of recreational activities, unemployment, and substandard education or educational resources, and any other factors which contribute to the continuation of the poverty cycle of youth and children in ogden, kansas. Currently profits, grants, and donations provide college scholarships, fund a youth recreation center and activities hosted within, student internships in the organization, scholarships for after school activities, tutoring, job training, and we also fund the operation of an income based childcare facility.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The goal of the house cafe is to provide ample opportunities for students to get out of the cycle of poverty and succeed through a variety of methods. One way this goal is completed is through having students volunteer alongside of the adults at the coffee shop so they can learn mentalities needed to reach their fullest potential. The house cafe also generates revenue to invest back in the community of ogden for the same purpose. In the last fiscal year, we have funded and hosted teen center events every other week as well as a ceramics club and a workshop club. Events include themed events and open game nights. We always provide snacks or meals to create an inviting and welcoming environment. We have had up to 30 students show up on a game night but have reached up to 60 students in our community through the various events we host. It is our aim to provide opportunities to reach and support as many students in our community as we can, including those of different ages, cultures, and backgrounds. In this effort and according to our mission, we have expanded to reach children ages 30 months to 6 years old through the building of our soon to be completed early learning center. This…

Many of our students do not have the support structure at home, and lack the confidence to fill out these forms or applications on their own. Our organization has assisted students in planning future education goals and implementing those goals into action steps. We also fund student interships, after school activities, and we have, and continue to, fund recreational activities on the weekends. These events take the teens off the streets on the weekend and give them a healthy environment with video games, board games, billiards and more. Dinner, snacks, and events are provided free of charge to all students in our community.

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. 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 2020 to 2021, from $229k to $354k (+54%).
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.
58% of THE HOUSE CAFE INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

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.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income fell $32k → $10k.
2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 62% 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 HOUSE CAFE INC’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 HOUSE CAFE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 62% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 HOUSE CAFE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 54% · 2021 73% · 2022 67% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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
62% of THE HOUSE CAFE INC'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 $105k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Kansas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $173k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
