What Alliance for Justice Action Campaign does
Mission
The Alliance for Justice Action Campaign (afjac) promotes a national conversation about the importance of the courts with a goal of advancing core constitutional values, preserving human rights, securing unfettered access to the judicial system, and guaranteeing the even-handed administration of justice for all. Afjac also serves as the nation's leading resource on the legal framework for 501(c)(4) nonprofit advocacy efforts.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Education: afj action campaign educates voters and the public about the importance of federal courts and state supreme courts on constitutional rights and protections. Afj action highlights corruption and conflicts of interest of multiple supreme court justices, including conducting national media campaigns and mobilizing organizational partners to highlight ethics issues at the court and call for court reforms. Afj action also releases an educational annual report on the landscape of state supreme courts elections and key developments each year. Afj action also creates new resources to help coalitionmembers with different tax statuses understand how they can work together without jeopardizing their 501(c)(3) partners. These resources were posted on afjac's website, shared with funders, and disseminated at conferences and coalition trainings.

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 2020 to 2021, from $300k to $594k (+98%).
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.
99% of ALLIANCE FOR JUSTICE ACTION CAMPAIGN’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (99% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $5k → $165k.
3 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 70% 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: $2.5M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Alliance for Justice). These are real filings, and they are not money ALLIANCE FOR JUSTICE ACTION CAMPAIGN raised.
From the IRS filings of ALLIANCE FOR JUSTICE ACTION CAMPAIGN’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
ALLIANCE FOR JUSTICE ACTION CAMPAIGN leans on a few funders — its largest provides 42% of grant income and the top three 74%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
100% 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 ALLIANCE FOR JUSTICE ACTION CAMPAIGN.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 50% · 2023 67% — 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.
Where its funders are
70% of ALLIANCE FOR JUSTICE ACTION CAMPAIGN's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $80k that is directly attributable, 56% of it comes from Washington, D.C. funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $185k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
