What Connected Dmv does
Mission
Connected Dmv's mission is to deliver regional initiatives together for a stronger and more equitable future.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
Effective december 20, 2023, all rights to quantum world congress (qwc) transferred to qwc events, llc. Connected Dmv entered into a services agreement with qwc events, llc on january 1, 2024 to provide the operating services necessary to produce qwc. Services provided by cdmv to qwc events, llc include planning, execution, and post-event wrap up and reconciliation functions required to produce the event.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Connected Dmv is initiatives-based and works with regional organizations across washington d.c., maryland, and virginia - the dmv - to drive ongoing improvements to social, digital, and physical infrastructure. We focus on initiatives that span local jurisdictions and require public-private-academia-community collaboration to best achieve the dual objectives of enduring economic health and social equity. Three regional collaborations are the backbone of our strategy: * dmv regional congress * regional economic develoment strategy * we are greater washington joint funding program office

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $553,495.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $99k to $518k (+425%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2022 19% · 2023 19% · 2024 22%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
51% of CONNECTED DMV’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 5 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
2020 → 2022: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income fell $100k → $85k.
1 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $290k from 3 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of the Mid-Atlantic States Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money CONNECTED DMV raised.
From the IRS filings of CONNECTED DMV’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
CONNECTED DMV leans on a few funders — its largest provides 82% of grant income and the top three 94%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 94% · 2022 88% — 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.
Where its funders are
CONNECTED DMV draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Virginia, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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. 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.
Against its field
CONNECTED DMV runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 11,263 human services nonprofits its size.
