What Dna Rising does
Mission
The mission of DNA RISING is to provide housing for, and thereby enhancing the lives of those community members who are striving to rise out of homelessness. We will accomplish this mission by acquiring donated properties from various sources such as the Cuyahoga County Land Bank, private owners looking to transfer an inherited or unwanted property, or owners needing assistance to alleviate tax liens. The properties will then be inspected and assessed by partner inspectors, appraisers and project managers in order to determine the renovation plan and budget. Local tradesmen will renovate the properties for the purpose of renting (up to 3 years) to formerly or currently homeless veterans or single mothers. The vision for DNA RISING is to actively contribute to the renovation, improvement and rebirth of Cleveland's inner city and first ring suburbs, while supporting the underserved populations of this magnificent city by providing affordable Bridge rental housing.

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $35k → $50k.
3 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 31% 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 DNA RISING’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
DNA RISING leans on a few funders — its largest provides 54% of grant income and the top three 79%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
91% 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 DNA RISING.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 50% — 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
86% of DNA RISING's grant income comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $49k 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.
