03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 20 funders to 34 funders, grant income rose $222k → $1.4M.

18 of 83 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 22% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

Left out of every figure on this page: $9.5M from 7 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The Chicago Community Trust). These are real filings, and they are not money AUSTIN HABITAT FOR HUMANITY INC raised.

From the IRS filings of AUSTIN HABITAT FOR HUMANITY INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 83 funders by total. 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.

46% 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 AUSTIN HABITAT FOR HUMANITY INC.
