What The Thread Stl does
Mission
The thread is an organization dedicated to shining a bright light on the bright lights of st. Louis, beginning with people and/or mobilizing people to engage in service, revitalization and charitable oppurtunity within st. Louis. This is accomplished through a weekly television show and other events throughout the community.
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Weekly television show on saturdays at 8:30 am
$0 spent
The program described on its FY2023 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $0.
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.
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 $98k to $45k (−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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.
