What The Knowledge Bank does
Mission
The mission of super money kids is to create a generation of financially knowledgeable, responsible and empowered youth. Students who have participated in the super money kids programs say they are more conscious about how they spend their money; they are better equipped for major life transitions and feel less likely to fall victim to the financial mistakes of adults before them.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Knowledge bank provides a finance the future program, with a guided program aimed to educate kids on how they can best save, spend and share money responsibly. Kids get to start a bank account, with 3 individual banks for saving, spending, and sharing. The program provides guiding questions for weekly money goals. The program helps kids learn the vocabulary and terms involved in banking with simple explanations. Finally, the program provides a platform for kids to track their money and financial activity.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2023 to 2024, from $160k to $0 (−100%).
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: 2023 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
53% of THE KNOWLEDGE BANK’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (99% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
68% 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 KNOWLEDGE BANK.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
