03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 9 funders, grant income rose $131k → $147k.

5 of 21 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 31% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

Left out of every figure on this page: $964k from 5 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Sentara Health). These are real filings, and they are not money ACTION IN COMMUNITY THROUGH SERVICE OF PRINCE WILLIAM raised.
