What Cultiv8Community does

Mission

Cultiv8Community is focused on habitat restoration, environmental education, affordable housing, and connecting people with nature, connect neighbors to neighbors, and restore life-giving habitats

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Program

  1. Cultiv8Habitat partners with local landowners to help reclaim their land as native pollinator habitats and/or adopt regenerative farming practices. Our efforts increase much-needed land for pollinators, help reconnect habitat patches for wildlife, and restore rural soil. We currently have active partnerships with rural landowners and the National Wildlife Federation. Culitv8Housing builds and/or restores high-efficiency, affordable homes and helps families experiencing poverty, who have never been homeowners, repair their credit, receive home ownership mentoring, and purchase homes with a $10-20,000 down payment assistance grant and no sweat-equity requirements. These homes help stabilize families and allow them to build generational wealth for the first time. Cultiv8Camp connects children primarily in rural areas with safe and fun experiences in nature. Cultiv8Camp is designed for students to embrace the outdoors as they learn about the ecology, land management, planting, and connecting with nature. Each field trip and day camp experience is designed to build on the previous years learning, encouraging schools and organizations to return annually. This progressive approach helps…

Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.

4 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 28% 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 Cultiv8Community’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 5 of 6 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

Cultiv8Community leans on a few funders — its largest provides 68% of grant income and the top three 90%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

28% 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 Cultiv8Community.

“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

100% of Cultiv8Community's grant income comes from Texas funders.

TX

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $50k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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. 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.
