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.

Left out of every figure on this page: $124k from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Anca Eastern Region Endowment Fund Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money ARMENIAN CULTURAL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA INC raised.

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 ARMENIAN CULTURAL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA INC.

03Its place in the field

Funders to approach

Grantmakers that don’t fund you yet, surfaced two ways: they back organizations that share your funders, or their grantees resemble your mission. The ones both signals agree on come first. Your 20 funders put you typical among the 106 organizations that share them.

From the co-funder graph (funders backing at least two comparable organizations, shrunk for grantee count, donor-advised and mega-funds excluded) and the universe embeddings. A research starting point; overlap is association, not a guarantee of fit.
