03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 15 funders to 20 funders, grant income rose $1.1M → $1.6M.

4 of 42 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 13% 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 COLUMBUS HOUSING PARTNERSHIP INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 42 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

COLUMBUS HOUSING PARTNERSHIP INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 35% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.

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 COLUMBUS HOUSING PARTNERSHIP INC.
