The organization over time

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.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 18 funders to 23 funders, grant income rose $436k → $594k.
13 of 61 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 9% 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: $1.8M from 5 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The Consortium of Florida Education Foundations Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money BREVARD SCHOOLS FOUNDATION INC raised.
From the IRS filings of BREVARD SCHOOLS FOUNDATION INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 61 funders by total. Association, not causation.

BREVARD SCHOOLS FOUNDATION INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 26% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
55% 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 BREVARD SCHOOLS FOUNDATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 38% · 2018 24% · 2019 29% · 2020 30% · 2021 22% · 2022 22% · 2023 26% — diversifying over time.
