What The Learning Project does
Mission
The mission of The Learning Project is to inspire informed, critical thinking and civil discussion about some of the most difficult issues we face today-racism, anti-semitism, prejude, persecution of minorities, and growing divisions in society today-and about the means of addressing and redressing these intensifying threats.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
We provide, in a variety of mediums, programming, research, and documentation related to instances of genocide, focusing in large part on the holocaust and stories of both rescue and survival in bulugaria and surrounding countries. Our interest and commitment flow from director jacky comforty's bulgarian jewish hertiage. From these formative circumstances, we broaden our focus to study and bring to public awareness instances of, reasons for, and characteristics of prejudices about, persecution of, and rescue or support for other minorities or disadvantaged person. Our goal is to promote understanding of, and healing responses to, today's increasingly fraught divisions and the resurgence of anti-semitism, holocaust denial or revisionism, racism and racist ideologies, and all efforts to dehumanize "the other". To this end, we also address the need to include people with disabilities in schools, universities, and life, generally, and to begin thoughtful, caring, humanistic education in early childhood. Our intended audiences include a diverse array of schools and universities, all media sectors, and government at all levels and in communities thoughtout the united states and around…

The program described on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $118,623.
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 at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $7k to $32k (+375%).
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 LEARNING PROJECT’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $1k → $2k.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 65% 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 LEARNING PROJECT’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 LEARNING PROJECT leans on a few funders — its largest provides 65% 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
65% 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 LEARNING PROJECT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2021 93% · 2022 100% · 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
65% of THE LEARNING PROJECT'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 $8k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Indiana, across 1 state.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $14k 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.
