What Development Assoc International does
Mission
Enhancing the integrity and effectiveness of Christian leaders worldwide so that the Church can fulfill its role in extending the Kingdom of God.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Connecting (creating, building, and maintaining partnerships) DAI cooperates with leaders and their organizations to enable them to develop their own capacity. DAI also partners with similar ministries so that together we provide leadership development to others. On a third level, DAI encourages partnerships between those who need each other so that all can accomplish their mission.
$3,281,068 spentof which $2,279,604 as grants67% of program spendingEducating (providing relevant, formal and nonformal educational experiences) DAI encourages the development of leaders through interactive adult education courses. The courses combine biblically based content uniquely written in response to the needs of leaders, with a method that includes case studies, thought provoking questions and application exercises. No outside expert is required, so local trainers can use these courses with individuals or small groups in a variety of settings. DAI also conducts various specialized workshops and seminars.
$836,597 spent17% of program spendingDAI serves as a fiscal sponsor for projects that fit DAIs mission and are taking place through ministries DAI is serving with leadership development. Many of the leaders DAI serves, and their programs need financial resources beyond what they can earn and raise locally. If DAI staff work with an organization closely enough to determine that these funds could be used effectively and accounted for adequately, and that the project fits within DAIs mission, then they will recommend that project to be fiscally sponsored. Beyond providing funds for valuable projects, this also serves a leadership development purpose. It provides the opportunity for local DAI staff to mentor the leadership of the fiscally sponsored project in fund raising and accountability. It takes those leaders to a new level of effectiveness, thereby fulfilling DAIs mission.

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 2021 to 2022, from $1.6M to $1.2M (−23%).
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: 2020 0% · 2024 100%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of Development Assoc International’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (90% 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.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 10 funders to 19 funders, grant income rose $2.4M → $3.4M.
11 of 41 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 61% 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 Development Assoc International’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 41 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
Development Assoc International leans on a few funders — its largest provides 27% of grant income and the top three 59%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
67% 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 Development Assoc International.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 43% · 2018 52% · 2019 37% · 2020 28% · 2021 39% · 2022 34% · 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
58% of Development Assoc International's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 61% 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
61% of Development Assoc International's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $8.0M that is directly attributable, 87% of it comes from funders outside Colorado, across 15 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $13M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
