What Bozeman Tenants United does
Mission
Bozeman Tenants United is building a citywide tenant union, led by tenants, organizing to ensure that every bozmanite has a safe, accessible, and truly affordable home.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Program
In 2024 Bozeman Tenants United trained over 200 members of the public in community organizing skills, created and circulated educational materials on the housing crisis for the public, educated the public on and advocated for a right to legal counsel for people in Bozeman facing eviction, helped publicly launch the national Tenant Union Federation through planning with other tenant unions and a public zoom call, endorsed and supported 4 candidates for the Bozeman Study Commission, supported tenants in apartment buildings to know their rights as tenants and hold their landlords accountable to following these laws, and conducted dozens of one-on-one meetings with members of the public to refer them to legal resources.
The program described on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
2 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 61% 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 BOZEMAN TENANTS UNITED’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
BOZEMAN TENANTS UNITED leans on a few funders — its largest provides 31% of grant income and the top three 92%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
100% 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 BOZEMAN TENANTS UNITED.
“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
61% of BOZEMAN TENANTS UNITED'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. Of the $63k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Montana, across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $100k 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.
