Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
The organization launched a new "apep catalyze americas partnership for economic prosperity (apep) accelerator activity" program.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
We count - this project proposes to catalyze the productivity and social/environmental sustainability of women-led manufacturing, services, and retail smes (wsmes) in four countries across latin america to build back better post-pandemic: honduras (ida), guatemala (nonida), el salvador (nonida), and mexico (nonida). The initiative facilitates relationships and transactions between smes and capacity building, linking with the market and financial stakeholders, leveraging an information-sharing platform that collects, validates, and shares data through a network of partners. The project has achieved two of its key milestones in 2024: 1) the development of a platform, agora academy, that seeks to connect small and growing businesses in the region with the resources they need to grow and succeed. Through an interactive space, users can access a curated collection of tools, resources, knowledge, and inspiration to drive their businesses toward sustainable growth; and 2) progress in increasing wsme market linkage up to 239.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $563k to $2.5M (+338%).
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 17% · 2018 1% · 2019 28% · 2020 11% · 2021 13% · 2022 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of AGORA PARTNERSHIPS’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (97% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 6 funders, grant income fell $1.6M → $1.4M.
8 of 15 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 49% 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 AGORA PARTNERSHIPS’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.
How concentrated its funding is
AGORA PARTNERSHIPS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 36% of grant income and the top three 77%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
50% 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 AGORA PARTNERSHIPS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 95% · 2019 61% · 2020 94% · 2021 77% · 2022 72% · 2023 89% — 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–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
25% of AGORA PARTNERSHIPS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 53% 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. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
AGORA PARTNERSHIPS draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside New York, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 7 states 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–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
