What Andersen Foundation does
Mission
The andersen tax foundation (hereafter "the foundation") is organized to allow the people of andersen tax llc (hereafter andersen") to assist the geographical communities served by andersen. The community beneficiaries of the assistance are not just limited to the current and former people of andersen, but will be broad enough to include andersen clients and communities as a whole that have immediate needs and suffer permanent losses in times of hardship, will provide scholarship aid to the people of andersen and their families and to support other qualified charitable and educational purposes. The foundation will provide the necessary support and assistance through the contribution of andersen and the voluntary contributions of the people of andersen, including approximately 2,000 overall partners, employees, alumni and retirees, as well as accept grants and funds from the outside general public, including clients, or governmental entities.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The foundation aims to provide direct and indirect emergency hardship relief to the andersen communities as a whole. Types of disasters or employee hardship situations include, but are not limited to, natural disasters, terrorism, fires, floods, violent crimes, physical abuse, death and illness in the family, and other personal hardships. For individual assistance, grants are available to those individuals (not limited to just the people of andersen) that can properly demonstrate need, hardship, or distress. All individual recipients are selected based on objective criteria made by an independent selection committee consisting of geographically diverse group of nine individuals. The committee undertakes a due diligence review of each request for assistance to ensure individuals meet the needs-based test. Grants are issued to eligible individuals, including andersen partners and employees, to provide needs-based financial support. Individuals seeking hardship relief will need to apply to the foundation for funds and other assistance using a preestablished application. In 2024 the foundation was able to provide over ten families who experienced hardship stemming from a medical…

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 $2.4M to $5.0M (+108%).
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.
90% of ANDERSEN FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (82% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $10k → $316k.
4 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
ANDERSEN FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 65% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder 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 ANDERSEN FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 100% · 2022 60% · 2023 63% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
100% of ANDERSEN FOUNDATION'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
