From the IRS filings of COMMUNITY ACTION PROGRAM FOR MADISON COUNTY INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $100k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
