As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Community Building- healing community events and outreach. DIJ partnered with other Indigenous-led organizations in Alaska for community engagement and outreach. Events have included policy forum, VAWA22 banking, Integrated Public alert system training, Bring her home screening, Self Defense and Awareness Seminar, May 5th National MMIWG Awareness Day, an upcoming MMIWG2S Alaska SK: Run for Healing, and Run for Justice.
$221,646 spent60% of program spendingData systems Advocacy- advocating for data systems that serve Indigenous peoples. We know that the current systems were not made for us, and we have many recommendations from race/ethnicity categories, to location, reporting etc. DIJ released a new 2SLGBTQ data report for our data forums held in late 2021. DIJ is creating a data working group with these partners for statewide collaboration. DIJ has done many presentations and speaking events this year, including to local and state governments and schools.
$73,882 spent20% of program spendingReclaiming Data- constant data collection and cross referencing of missing and murdered Indigenous peoples. Gathering of data has come directly from our community with trust, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, reporting and cross referencing, media and social media. DIJ has developed direct partnership with national database systems and law enforcement agencies, improving access and accuracy of reclaimed data. DIJ has established meaningful connections with statewide and national organizations who are leading similar efforts in other states. DIJ continues to be sought for data expertise on this topic area and addressing the MMIWG crisis and has done dozens of presentations, key notes, and panels across the state, nationally and internationally. DIJ's "We are Calling to You" report has been cited in numerous legislative bills and other narratives for advocacy here in Alaska. The purpose of a baseline for referral has been a success.

The organization over time
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $29k to $379k (+1192%).
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: 2023 9% · 2025 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of Data for Indigenous Justice’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (86% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 8 funders, grant income rose $50k → $124k.
6 of 16 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 45% 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 Data for Indigenous Justice’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
Data for Indigenous Justice has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 27% 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
95% 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 Data for Indigenous Justice.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 71% · 2022 42% · 2023 28% — 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.
How long its funders stay
71% of Data for Indigenous Justice's funders are still giving 1 year after their first grant; 44% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
Data for Indigenous Justice draws 81% of its grant income from funders outside Alaska, across 6 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $340k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
