Who you back again
Which organizations you funded more than once, and which you funded a single time. Each grantee is matched to its own filings.
And the relationships you keep tend to grow: grantees you re-up on have seen median revenue of +102% since the first grant, against +30% for the ones you funded once.
34 repeat relationships — 28 still active in FY2024, 6 since wound down.
How the two cohorts compare
Organizations
Total granted
Median revenue growth · since first grant
Still filing today
New vs renewed · share of each year
In FY2024, 100% of grant dollars renewed an existing relationship; C$0 went to new ones.
First-time = a grantee’s first year in your filing window; renewed = funded in an earlier year too. As a portfolio matures the renewed share naturally climbs — once funded, an org stays “renewable” — so the signal is the years that buck it (a new-grantee intake wave). The earliest year is left-censored: relationships that predate the data read as “new.”

Repeat = funded in two or more distinct years; growth and survival are read from each grantee’s own subsequent CRA filings.
The map has a center of gravity: the average direction from the rest of the sector toward the organizations the foundation funds — the shape of its giving. Scoring every nonprofit along that direction surfaces the ones that look most like the portfolio. These are the closest matches that aren’t grantees — a resemblance in what they say they do, not a recommendation.
Food distribution service to those who can't adequately provide for their own nutritional needs
Provide food to families in need
Distributing food hampers to single persons and families in need.
Provides food for people in need
Collecting and dispersing food for local residents
Providing assistance to the under-privileged by purchasing and distributing food necessities. the items are distributed through individual hampers.
Dispensing food
Provide food hampers on a bi-monthly basis provide emergency food hampers and food vouchers as needed
Food bank-provide food hampers to clients in need.
Assist low income families and individuals with food and other supplies.
Provide good quality food to people in area who can't afford to buy food. (food bank)
Provide food and personal products to members of the community who are dealing with food insecurity. we are purely a volunteer organization.
For reference, the grantee most central to the portfolio’s shape is Watrous and District Food Bank Inc. and the most unlike its peers is Mcmurray Gospel Assembly. Resemblance is measured on each organization’s own IRS 990 mission text; it reflects how work is described, not its quality or impact.
36 grantees tracked through their own filings, 2017–2024.
Each one resolved to its own CRA returns and tracked year by year — your grant beside their revenue from every source. Association, dated; never a causal claim.
Counted here: distinct organizations you funded across 2017–2024, not grant rows in a single year — so this will not match the grant count on the cover. 36 of the 38 grantees resolved in that span have returns of their own we could reconcile; the rest are funded organizations whose filings we could not track year by year.

The grantmakers whose grantees overlap with yours far more than size alone predicts. Each orbits closer the stronger the alignment; the arcs between them show where they also fund each other. Here it reads as a tightly interlocked camp — most of these funders back each other's grantees too.

Affinity is a Gamma-Poisson posterior co-funding rate, re-centered on the typical rate, so thin evidence shrinks toward no signal. A research starting point: overlap is association, not proof of shared intent.
