TORONTO FOUNDATION FOR STUDENT SUCCESS

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.

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: 2017 76% · 2018 76% · 2019 80% · 2020 80% · 2021 84% · 2022 83% · 2023 65% · 2024 76%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

How concentrated its funding is

TORONTO FOUNDATION FOR STUDENT SUCCESS has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 40% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.

100% 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 TORONTO FOUNDATION FOR STUDENT SUCCESS.

Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 37% · 2018 29% · 2019 36% · 2020 43% · 2021 68% · 2022 66% · 2023 25% — 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 is still being filed and is shown unshaded; it does not move any figure on this page.

How long its funders stay

41% of TORONTO FOUNDATION FOR STUDENT SUCCESS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 59% 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.

Where its funders are

TORONTO FOUNDATION FOR STUDENT SUCCESS draws 51% of its grant income from funders outside Ontario, across 5 regions in all.

Funder regions come from each funder’s own filing. C$35k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 regions 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 is still being filed and is shown unshaded; it does not move any figure on this page.
