What you actually fund — minus the donor-advised flow

Most of the money the foundation moves is donor-advised — your donors’ choices, which you administer. Stripped of that, here is your own strategy: the Community Impact Grants, 2024.

$2.4Myour competitive grants — 54 nonprofits you chose.
your competitive grants$2.4Mother funds$2.3Mdonor-advised$27.7M

Of the $32.4M the foundation granted in 2024, $27.7M (85%) was donor-advised — your donors’ choices, administered by you, and another $2.3M ran through designated and field-of-interest funds. What’s left is the grantmaking you direct.

Why the filing hides this

A 990 sums every fund’s money to a grantee into one line, so your competitive grant disappears into the donor-advised total. The clean amounts above come from your published program, not the filing:

  • Boys & Girls Clubs of Mercer County— $37,000 from you, but $1,603,200 in the 990 once donors pile on
  • HomeFront— $50,000 from you, but $1,327,700 in the 990 once donors pile on
  • Trenton Area Soup Kitchen— $50,000 from you, but $1,250,050 in the 990 once donors pile on

From the foundation’s published Community Impact Grants (pacf.org); donor-advised totals from the IRS Form 990 (Schedule D). 116 of 171 published grantees were resolved to a filing EIN (precision-matched — unresolved grants still shown, by name and amount). Donor-advised pass-through is excluded by construction: it never appears in this program.

03Your edge

The orgs you fund vs the ones you don’t

You back the full breadth of your community — and the organisations you fund hold up better than the rest.

As a community foundation you fund inclusively across the local sector — established institutions and scrappy new efforts alike — which is the mission, not a hedge. Even so, the organisations you back are less fragile than comparable nonprofits nearby that you don't fund.

The kind of organization you back

75% of the organizations you back live mainly on donations, against 48% of the comparable nonprofits nearby you don’t fund. 31% of the ones you pick are financially resilient, against 16% of that field, and fewer show the warning signs below.

What they work on

  • Arts & Culture16% vs 6%
  • Human Services23% vs 12%

The nearby nonprofits you don’t fund are concentrated in International, Religion.

How they hold up

  • Burning through reserves6% vs 16%
  • Less than a month of cash3% vs 12%

$121M · 511 repeat orgs$22M to everyone else

And the relationships you keep tend to grow: grantees you re-up on have seen median revenue of +33% since the first grant, against +19% for the ones you funded once.

511 repeat relationships — 322 still active in FY2024, 189 since wound down; 174 grantees were first funded in FY2024 (too recent to call).

Of your 449 multi-year relationships, 105 repeat the same amount every year (6% of multi-year dollars), the pattern of a standing commitment. The rest vary year to year. Grant terms aren’t stated in the filing; this is inferred from the payment pattern.

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.” Theme is the grantee’s IRS cause.

ANCHOR HOUSE INC

Conviction

Sustained conviction, deepening community impact

Princeton Area Community Foundation has backed Anchor House five times between 2020 and 2024, committing $1,262,038 and at peak representing 34% of the organization's budget. Alongside that sustained partnership, Anchor House's revenue has grown 81% since the first grant, its shelter population rose 58% in 2025 compared to 2024, and its School Outreach Program expanded from 331 to 553 youth served. In July 2024, the organization also launched a new Rapid Rehousing program specifically designed for LGBTQI+ youth — all while continuing to provide round-the-clock shelter, food, crisis intervention, and medical and mental health care to youth under 18 and their families.

A one-time bet that graduated

Princeton Area Community Foundation made a single $36,000 grant to Princeton Charter Foundation in 2020 — a moment when that sum represented 99% of the organization's entire budget. After that early catalytic investment, the foundation's revenue grew 259%, and by 2023 it was independently making grants of $87,910 for student educational spaces and $51,180 for historic preservation of its building, with no further support needed from PACF.

Trajectories are each organization’s own subsequent IRS filings; milestones are from the public record, linked to source. Revenue is the organization’s whole income from every source, not a return on these grants: we date what happened after a grant, and do not claim the grant caused it.

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.

Each one resolved to its own IRS 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 2017–2025, not grant rows in a single year — so this will not match the grant count on the cover. 1259 of the 1,406 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.

Government reliance of your grantees

Every dot is one organization Princeton Area Community Foundation funds. Left–right is the share of its income from government; up–down is the share from you. Bigger dots raise more. Filter to federal, a single department, or state — and drag the year to watch it move.

2rely on government for over half their income
typical government reliance, FY20–25

Government income is each org’s traced federal awards (USASpending — grants and contracts) plus state payments (open checkbooks) as a share of its total revenue (IRS Form 990); the self-reported government-grant line (990 line 1e) is carried for cross-check: a grantee that reports government grants we could not trace to a source is left off the chart rather than shown as receiving none. An association, not a claim that your grant caused the public funding. Coverage is precision-first — a floor, not a census; state records exist for 9 states, so a grantee outside them shows no state figure (dimmed) rather than a false zero. Federal award amounts are obligations, which can span years, so a single-year share is indicative. 990 filings lag 12–24 months.

On method. Every financial figure here is read directly from IRS e-file XML — your own 990/990-PF and the multi-year returns of the 1406 grantees we resolved across every year we hold, several hundred filings in all (a different count from the grant rows on the cover, which are one fiscal year)— each linked to its source. Grantee achievements and outcomes are each organization’s own program-service reporting (Form 990, Part III); we read these as association with sustained funding — the foundation is one of several forces — suppress low-confidence name matches rather than guess, and say so where a figure rests on a single grant or filing. Not everything on this page is a filed figure, and the difference matters. Filed is what you reported on your return. Official is another government record about an organization, such as a federal award or a charity register, joined by name where no shared identifier exists. Resolved is an identity we worked out where the filing named a recipient without an EIN, kept only above a measured confidence threshold. Computed is arithmetic over those, like themes, portfolio clusters and co-funder strength. Context is a statistic about a place rather than about an organization, which is what the need overlay is: it describes the area a grantee’s address sits in, not where its work lands. Inferred is drawn by a model from text, like the partnerships read out of public news and organization websites. Each is labeled where it appears. How we build these →

Generated from your IRS Form 990 e-file return for fiscal year 2024 (period ending 2024-12-31), released 2025. Filings run roughly 12–24 months behind; figures are dated accordingly.
