What Astia does
Mission
Astia is a community of experts committed to leveling the playing field for women entrepreneurs by providing access to capital and network for the companies they lead.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Astia investments - Astia investments is a program that includes a family of investment vehicles that invest in select companies that apply to Astia and that have successfully progressed through the Astia expert sift process. Similar to the Astia access program, Astia investments are managed via the Astia connect software platform. A requirement for investment is that a company must include women leaders at the time of investment. The management fees and carried interest of this program fund all of Astia's programs.
$754,728 spent$767,607 earned by the program86% of program spendingAstia access - the Astia access program provides entrepreneurs with direct access to expertise and capital--the foundational components of success for high-growth entrepreneurship. Astia advisors provide direct feedback via the expert sift screening process as well as customized advice in one-on-one sessions. Capital is raised by applicant companies via the sift in the form of Astia's direct investment programs and/or investment from non-Astia investors. The Astia expert sift process is implemented via a software platform called Astia connect. The Astia investment program provides the great majority of the funding for the Astia access program. In the future, as companies exit the Astia portfolio, it is expected that 100% of the Astia access program will be funded by Astia investments.

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 $353k to $931k (+164%).
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 1% · 2021 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
50% of Astia’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (61% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 5 funders to 2 funders, grant income fell $228k → $20k.
5 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 8% 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 Astia’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
Astia leans on a few funders — its largest provides 44% of grant income and the top three 86%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 81% · 2018 62% · 2019 71% · 2020 50% · 2021 67% · 2022 45% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“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.
How long its funders stay
38% of Astia's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 60% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
Astia draws 93% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 4 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $96k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
Against its field
Astia runs a healthier operating margin than half of the 4,203 community improvement nonprofits its size.
