02The need

Do your dollars go where the need is?

Each grant placed by the hardship in its grantee’s ZIP, then read against the area’s typical level.

show:

Dollar for dollar, your grants (FY20–24) land where the poverty rate runs at 17%, against an area that typically sits at 5%. 87% of your dollars go to grantees based in above-average-need neighborhoods. Most of your grants land in higher-need ZIPs.

grant to an above-average-need area below average· circle size = grant amount

Matched: human-services grants are those whose grantee’s IRS cause code is Human Services. Placed by people below the poverty linein the grantee’s ZIP, averaged from the tracts in that ZIP; grantee ZIP can differ from where services are delivered.

Eviction pressure:up to 0 filings per 100 renter households in the hardest-hit areas(Eviction Lab, 2018)

US grants placed by each grantee’s ZIP, which can differ from where services are actually delivered. Need from public data — U.S. Census/ACS, CDC PLACES, Eviction Lab, USDA — shown as context about the area, never attributed to your giving.

Where the work is directed

The same grants, placed two ways — where each recipient sits, and where its stated purpose earmarks the money.

About 15% of The Burke Foundation’s grant dollars are earmarked, by their stated purpose, for a different county than the recipient’s own address — money that lands at a nonprofit in one place but is meant to do its work in another.

The Burke Foundationlessmore of its giving

Placed by recipient address

Recipient view: each grant at its grantee’s ZIP, mapped to a county. Directed view: each grant at the county its stated purpose names, falling back to the recipient’s county when the purpose names no place; US grants only. A county shows only if it carries the top 95% of that view’s dollars. Purposes are read from the foundation’s own 990 grant descriptions.

03Your edge

The orgs you fund vs the ones you don’t

You skew toward the sturdier end of a fragile field.

The organisations you back are larger and somewhat healthier than comparable nonprofits nearby that you don't fund — but the edge is real, not dramatic: 72% of those you fund still carry a fragility flag, against 70% of the unfunded. In a sector where most run thin, you lean toward resilience rather than backing a financially secure elite.

The kind of organization you back

65% of the organizations you back live mainly on donations, against 41% of the comparable nonprofits nearby you don’t fund. The ones you pick show fewer of the warning signs below than the field you don’t fund.

And the relationships you keep tend to grow: grantees you re-up on have seen median revenue of +27% since the first grant, against +22% for the ones you funded once.

90 repeat relationships — 46 still active in FY2024, 44 since wound down; 39 grantees were first funded in FY2024 (too recent to call).

Of your 91 multi-year relationships, 25 repeat the same amount every year (7% 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.

You also report $7kapproved for future payment (Form 990-PF, Part XV) — grants already committed but not yet paid, a forward pledge the current-year ledger doesn’t show.

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.

Conviction

Sustained conviction that compounded beautifully

Burke Foundation has backed Trenton Health Team across five consecutive grants from 2020 to 2024, committing a total of $1,487,429 and at peak representing 13% of THT's annual budget. Alongside that sustained partnership, THT's revenue grew 27% and net assets expanded 14.5x, with a 15% annualized revenue growth rate across the period. Today THT operates the Trenton Health Information Exchange — connecting over 2,250 health care providers — coordinates collective action among more than 100 organizations as a Regional Health Hub, and was named a lead organization for a new Maternal and Infant Health Innovation Center alongside Capital Health and Rutgers University.

BOSTON ASSOCIATION FOR CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION INC

Funded once

One-time grant; organization now struggling

Burke Foundation made a single $30,000 grant to the Boston Association for Childbirth Education in 2021, representing 7% of the organization's budget that year — a meaningful vote of confidence in one of America's oldest natural-childbirth organizations, founded in 1953. In the year of the grant, BACE certified childbirth educators, enrolled participants in Birth Doula Training, and provided free breastfeeding support by phone, text, and email. Since that grant, however, BACE's revenue has contracted sharply, net assets fell from $185,835 to $56,859 in a single fiscal year, and no recent filing has confirmed current operations.

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.

For reference, the grantee most central to the portfolio’s shape is South Ward Alliance and the most unlike its peers is The National Academy of Education. Resemblance is measured on each organization’s own IRS 990 mission text; it reflects how work is described, not its quality or impact.

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.

5rely 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.

How do I get to The Burke Foundation?

Find your warmest path to The Burke Foundation through trustees and officers whose names appear on both boards. Search for your organization and Plinth traces the shortest route it can evidence.

Each link is a name appearing on two organizations’ public IRS 990 filings, matched on that name and, where the filings support it, on location. A same-state match has geographic support, which is a second matching feature rather than confirmation that the two are one person; a cross-state one is the likeliest to be two people who share a name. Every hop shows its tier, low-confidence and distant paths are held back rather than guessed, and it is worth confirming the person before you use the introduction.
