CHICAGO FEDERATION OF LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL UNION COUNCIL

What Chicago Federation of Labor and Industrial Union Council does

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.

Balance sheet

Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $6.5M to $7.3M (+11%).

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.

Surplus & reserves

Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 10 funders, grant income rose $102k → $156k.

From the IRS filings of CHICAGO FEDERATION OF LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL UNION COUNCIL’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 21 of 22 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

CHICAGO FEDERATION OF LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL UNION COUNCIL has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 14% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.

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 CHICAGO FEDERATION OF LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL UNION COUNCIL.

Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 26% · 2018 29% · 2019 20% · 2020 16% · 2021 26% · 2022 36% · 2023 18% — diversifying over time.

“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.
