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.

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 62 funders to 100 funders, grant income rose $11M → $14M.

From the IRS filings of AMERICANS FOR OXFORD INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 264 funders by total. 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

AMERICANS FOR OXFORD INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 14% of grant income, and it takes 6 funders to reach half.

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 AMERICANS FOR OXFORD INC.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $65M arriving through sponsors registered in 23 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.
