Hosts funds for others
Amalgamated Charitable Foundation Inc administers funds on behalf of other donors. The grants recorded as coming in are contributions into those funds, so they count custody rather than support for a programAmalgamated Charitable Foundation Inc runs itself. This page therefore states the flows and does not draw the comparisons it would draw for an operating charity: concentration, funder retention, grant dependency and the peer field are all left out, because each of them would read a vehicle as if it were a program.

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.
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 9 funders to 166 funders, grant income rose $1.5M → $195M.
74 of 386 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 17% 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: $6.2M from one payer (an institutional transfer, not a grant programme, largest Kataly Foundation); $20k from one payer (the same organization on both sides, largest Amalgamated Charitable Foundation Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money Amalgamated Charitable Foundation Inc raised.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $147M arriving through sponsors registered in 24 statesis 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.
