What Turtle Athletic Foundation Inc does
Mission
The turtle athletic foundation (the foundation) was created with the goal of providing mentorship to young students in the surrounding communities (maryland, district of columbia, and virginia). Through the programs and activities of the foundation, intercollegiate student-athletes participate in community-driven activities that promote, to children and youth (often at risk children and youth and marginalized populations), the benefits of remaining dedicated to, and focused on, the importance of a quality education. The intercollegiate student-athletes have a significant impact on the youth in these communities by sharing their experiences and being mentors to them. The foundation recognizes and seeks to capitalize on the unique and powerful impact that intercollegiate student-athletes can have on children and youth, particularly in the case of student-athletes who come from similar backgrounds and have faced similar challenges as the children and youth they are engaging and mentoring.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2022 to 2023, from $495k to $613k (+24%).
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.
97% of TURTLE ATHLETIC FOUNDATION INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (83% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

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
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $100k → $227k.
4 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 56% 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 TURTLE ATHLETIC FOUNDATION 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
TURTLE ATHLETIC FOUNDATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 35% of grant income and the top three 85%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
56% 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 TURTLE ATHLETIC FOUNDATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 44% — 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.
Where its funders are
56% of TURTLE ATHLETIC FOUNDATION 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 $255k that is directly attributable, 79% of it comes from Maryland funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $323k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
