01What it does

What Canopy NWA does

Mission

Canopys mission is to create a community where refugees and immigrants are welcomed and equipped with all they need to build new lives. Canopys vision is to see refugees and our community model thriving together.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Ongoing Employment and Integration. Refugees and immigrants need additional support beyond three or six months in the country. To meet integration goals, Canopy offers the following suite of programs for up to five years post arrival through The Long Welcome: career laddering, entrepreneurship, ongoing case management for more vulnerable households, a health promotion program and an afterschool program for K-12 students. Canpoy also provides immigration and legal assistance to help newcomers on the path to citizenship.

  2. Resettlement assistance and support. Canopy provides refugees with case management and basic needs support for their first 90-240 days in the United States. Canopy arranges for housing, connections to health services, school enrollment for children and referrals to English language and job training. All resettled households are in a safe and stable home and able to support their families through employment by their 240th day.

    $668,407 spent
    17% of program spending
  3. Community Engagement. Partnership with community is one of Canopys core values. Community is the foundation of home. Without a strong sense of connection to the world around them, refugees cannot build a new life here. We work to connect our families to community partners, volunteers and mentors who can form a robust network of support around them.

02The organization over time

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 15 funders, grant income rose $164k → $2.0M.

14 of 26 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 19% 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 Canopy NWA’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 25 of 26 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.

How concentrated its funding is

Canopy NWA leans on a few funders — its largest provides 58% of grant income and the top three 77%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

80% 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 Canopy NWA.

“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

60% of Canopy NWA's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 69% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y+5y

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 12 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.
