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.

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.

02Who funds it

2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income rose $10k → $17k.

Left out of every figure on this page: $72k from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce). These are real filings, and they are not money ASIAN BUSINESS ASSOCIATION SAN DIEGO raised.

From the IRS filings of ASIAN BUSINESS ASSOCIATION SAN DIEGO’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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.

ASIAN BUSINESS ASSOCIATION SAN DIEGO leans on a few funders — its largest provides 68% of grant income and the top three 88%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

91% 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 ASIAN BUSINESS ASSOCIATION SAN DIEGO.

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.

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.
