03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2018 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income rose $2k → $48k.

2 of 13 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 16% 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 610 Great Alaska Council’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.

610 Great Alaska Council leans on a few funders — its largest provides 68% of grant income and the top three 90%; half comes from just 1 funder.

28% 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 610 Great Alaska Council.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $180k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
