03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 11 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $601k → $190k.

7 of 28 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.

Left out of every figure on this page: $185k from 6 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Broadway Caresequity Fights AIDS Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money AIDS ACTION COMMITTEE OF MASSACHUSETTS INC raised.

From the IRS filings of AIDS ACTION COMMITTEE OF MASSACHUSETTS INC’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

AIDS ACTION COMMITTEE OF MASSACHUSETTS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 34% of grant income and the top three 76%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

67% 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 AIDS ACTION COMMITTEE OF MASSACHUSETTS INC.

Massachusetts out of state home

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $818k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
