What Association for Women in Mathematics Inc does
Mission
The association for women in matematics creates a community in which women and girls can thrive in their mathematical endeavors and to promote equitable opportunity and gender-inclusivity across the mathematical sciences.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Awm sponsors several prizes that acknowledge the achievements of women mathematicians. These include the humphreys award for undergraduate mentoring, the hay award for work in mathematics education, the schafer prize for undergraduate excellence, the best mathematics dissertation prizes, the gray award for mathematics applied to social justice, and the microsoft, sadosky and birman research prizes. Awm sponsors an online mentor network which matches mentors and mentees within the mathematics community, and the annual essay contest for middle school, high school and college undergraduates. Awm has a journal, la matematica, dedicated to publishing high-quality research from a broad range of the mathematical sciences, a book series devoted to special topics and proceedings of awm workshops and conferences, as well as a periodical, the awm newsletter.
$211,852 spentof which $1,342 as grants$261,605 earned by the program28% of program spendingAwm provided around 50 travel grants for women to attend national and international conferences on mathematics. The purpose is to provide women the funding to present their mathematical research at the conferences, thereby increasing the visibility of the work being done by women in mathematics. Awm also provided travel support to 5 to 10 women mathematicians each year to work one-on-one for several weeks with senior women mentors in their mathematical field of specialty.
$120,088 spentof which $101,802 as grants16% of program spendingAwm organizes special conferences and special sessions at national meetings of other organizations for women to meet, discuss their progress in the field, and collaborate on research. The most prominent event is the awm research symposium held at the university of wisconsin which hosted 350-400 participants, including over 150 graduate students. In addition to organizing its own biennial research symposium, awm sponors workshops at national mathematics meetings (of the american mathematical society, the society for industrial and applied mathematics, and the mathematical association of america). These workshops include poster sessions for graduate students, scientific sessions for working mathematicians, panels on current topics of interest to students and professional mathematicians, named lectures given by women mathematicians, and a mentoring program connecting the students with researchers in their fields. The workshops showcase the work of early career mathematicians and provide opportunities for participants to discuss their research with career level women mathematicians. 90-100 women were supported to attend these workshops. Additionally, an awm lecturer series to honor…

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 2021 to 2022, from $1.1M to $1.4M (+26%).
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: 2018 40% · 2019 53% · 2020 40% · 2021 25% · 2022 41% · 2023 40% · 2024 49% · 2025 56%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
61% of ASSOCIATION FOR WOMEN IN MATHEMATICS INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (67% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $3k → $6k.
2 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 36% 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 ASSOCIATION FOR WOMEN IN MATHEMATICS INC’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.
How concentrated its funding is
ASSOCIATION FOR WOMEN IN MATHEMATICS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 40% of grant income and the top three 98%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
76% 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 ASSOCIATION FOR WOMEN IN MATHEMATICS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 59% · 2021 90% · 2022 97% · 2023 97% — 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.
Where its funders are
ASSOCIATION FOR WOMEN IN MATHEMATICS INC draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Rhode Island, across 1 state in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $14k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.

These figures are read directly from IRS Form 990 / 990-PF e-file XML: this organization’s own return for FY2025 (financials across 2018–2025), and the filings of 4 funders that report grants to it. “On record” means captured in the filings we have parsed — a funder that does not e-file, or whose grant detail is not itemized, will not appear. Filings run roughly 12–24 months behind. Trends on this page end at FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving; later years are shown and marked, and move no figure.
