What Trips for Kids National does
Mission
At the core of our mission is the belief that a childs ability to access activities that improve mental, emotional, social and physical health should not be determined by their race, ethnicity, gender, ability or zip code. With the demonstrated capacity of the bicycle to transform young lives and the historic lack of access to bikes, trails and cycling programs in underserved communities, we are committed to delivering programs that use the universal power of the bike to build healthy bodies, minds and communities.
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Since 1988, more than 95% of the 250,000 children served nationwide by Trips for Kids member organizations have been from at-risk communities. Ours has always been a grassroots movement with limited visibility within the traditionally privileged cycling world. Working in partnership with more bicycle industry leaders and national cycling organizations, our ability to reach more kids with more programs and services continues to expand.In 2022, the Trips for Kids National Office served over 30 member organizations across North America providing them with program resources, cycling related equipment, online education platforms and community engagement services. We collected the following annual statistics from these member organizations about the kids they serve by program area.StatisticsRides: 403 / Riders: 4,710 / Earn-a-Bike Workshops: 84 / EAB Students: 607 / Bikes Donated: 7,241# Bikes Recycled: 3,832 / Satisfaction with TFK National Office: 4.4 out of 5.

The program described on its FY2023 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $56,441.
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $209k to $102k (−51%).
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: 2020 17%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
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 narrowed from 10 funders to 8 funders, grant income fell $173k → $56k.
5 of 35 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 12% 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 TRIPS FOR KIDS NATIONAL’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 35 funders by total. 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
TRIPS FOR KIDS NATIONAL has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 16% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 58% · 2018 21% · 2019 63% · 2020 56% · 2021 20% · 2022 38% · 2023 28% — diversifying over time.
“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.
How long its funders stay
25% of TRIPS FOR KIDS NATIONAL's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 31% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
66% of TRIPS FOR KIDS NATIONAL's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $92k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
