Where its funders are

100% of BAND & ORCHESTRA BOOSTERS ASSN OF THE SYCAMORE COMM SCHOOL DISTRICT's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is.

NY

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $29k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
