4 of 16 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 29% 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: $2.7M from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Cjr Fund Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money CONNECTICUT JUNIOR REPUBLIC ASSOCIATION INCORPORATED raised.

From the IRS filings of CONNECTICUT JUNIOR REPUBLIC ASSOCIATION INCORPORATED’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

CONNECTICUT JUNIOR REPUBLIC ASSOCIATION INCORPORATED has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 26% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left

29% 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 CONNECTICUT JUNIOR REPUBLIC ASSOCIATION INCORPORATED.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $247k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
