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. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

Left out of every figure on this page: $112k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber). These are real filings, and they are not money CINCINNATI USA REGIONAL CHAMBER FOUNDATION raised.

From the IRS filings of CINCINNATI USA REGIONAL CHAMBER FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 38 funders by total. Association, not causation.

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 CINCINNATI USA REGIONAL CHAMBER FOUNDATION.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $6.9M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.

03Its place in the field

Funders to approach

Grantmakers that don’t fund you yet, surfaced two ways: they back organizations that share your funders, or their grantees resemble your mission. The ones both signals agree on come first. Your 38 funders put you typical among the 400 organizations that share them.

From the co-funder graph (funders backing at least two comparable organizations, shrunk for grantee count, donor-advised and mega-funds excluded) and the universe embeddings. A research starting point; overlap is association, not a guarantee of fit.
