$71,578 spent56% of program spendingThe Eagle Scholars student enrichment program is a transformative initiative dedicated to empowering first-generation college students through a comprehensive holistic approach to educational and professional development.

$34,675 spent27% of program spendingThe Urban Garden, initiated in 2015, promotes STEM and agriculture with positive behavioral changes that include better nutrition and increased physical activity while teaching financial literacy and entrepreneurial skills to youth through farmers markets. The program has expanded to offer summer STEM camps and implement sustainable regenerative agriculture practices. We broadened our reach to introduce agriculture to the 18 - 35 age demographic through paid internships and established a monthly educational partnership with the University of Houston. The organization provides produce to seniors citizens for free throughout the greater Houston area. The key objective remains helping student leaders apply lessons learned in school to the service of creating a community garden within an urban food desert. The issues being addressed include the lack of access to fresh fruits and vegetables in the community and resolving high rates of obesity through education.

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 and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $251k to $399k (+59%).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $150k → $4k.
2 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 60% 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 TWEF INTERNATIONAL 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
TWEF INTERNATIONAL INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 32% of grant income and the top three 79%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
74% 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 TWEF INTERNATIONAL INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 50% · 2020 47% · 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
60% of TWEF INTERNATIONAL 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 $186k that is directly attributable, 83% of it comes from funders outside Texas, across 4 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $285k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
