Programs
Reproductive healthcare: this national initiative supports prosecutors in understanding and addressing reproductive healthcare issues through a public safety lens. Guided by a committee of prosecutors from across the country, the project emphasizes: medical science and healthcare provider's professional judgment as the foundation for prosecutorial decision-making, research into how reproductive health laws affect different communities and outcomes and guidance to help prosecutors align their practices with current medical standards and healthcare access. The goal is to ensure that prosecutorial practices reflect sound medical understanding and promote fair, informed outcomes in reproductive health matters.
$458,920 spent20% of program spendingTrust and legitimacy: the association has partnered with the yale justice collaboratory to put together the elevating trust and legitimacy for prosecutors project. A crucial step to achieving a just and trusted legal system is to ensure individuals are treated fairly and with dignity and respect as they move through the criminal justice system. More than a decade's work in policing and courts settings has shown how concerted efforts can help change the way criminal justice professionals communicate and engage with system participants and produce increased public trust and voluntary compliance and cooperation. The association and the project partners will work with selected sites to assess how prosecutors interact with the surrounding community, implementing evidence-based practices to increase public trust. Project staff will work with prosecutors and staff across the selected offices to identify and enhance existing trust-building opportunities internally and externally. The program will also seek to test how new practices can supplement the office's gun diversion work and other interactions with the accused, witnesses, victims, and other members of the public.

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 2021 to 2022, from $1.3M to $2.5M (+91%).

From the IRS filings of ASSOCIATION OF PROSECUTING ATTORNEYS INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
43% 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 OF PROSECUTING ATTORNEYS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 45% · 2018 73% · 2019 36% · 2020 32% · 2021 54% · 2022 32% · 2023 28% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.7M 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.
