Feed The Need, Mayka & Emergency Support (India & USA): In 2024, AmPowering continued to expand its humanitarian outreach through the Feed The Need, Mayka, and Maa Ki Rasoi programs, providing essential support to individuals and families in crisis across the United States and India. Through these initiatives, AmPowering fed approximately 2,500 homeless and low-income families every week in the United States and India and also 760 underprivileged schoolchildren daily in rural India. Assistance included groceries, freshly prepared meals, rental and utility support, interim hotel shelter, hygiene items, and emergency aid for families facing homelessness or financial hardship. Under the Mayka program, AmPowering continued to provide safe temporary shelter for domestic-violence survivors, single mothers, mental health patients and families in transition. The program also offered guidance and advocacy for mental-health clients, supporting individuals coping with emotional trauma, physical disabilities, and chronic illnesses such as cancer.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2019 to 2020, from $54k to $151k (+180%).
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: 2020 23% · 2021 24% · 2022 0% · 2023 68% · 2024 25%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
103% of AmPowering’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $350 → $207k.
6 of 14 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 85% 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 AmPowering’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 13 of 14 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
AmPowering leans on a few funders — its largest provides 76% of grant income and the top three 89%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
96% 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 AmPowering.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 57% · 2021 46% · 2022 74% · 2023 98% — 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
29% of AmPowering's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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
85% of AmPowering'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 $161k that is directly attributable, 84% of it comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $925k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
