What Donors Capital Fund Inc does
Mission
Support charities that alleviate, through education, research and private initiatives, society's most pervasive and radical needs, including those related to social welfare, health, the environment, economics, governance, foreign relations, and arts and culture.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Donor Advised Fund Program: Donors Capital Fund supports a class of public charities firmly committed to liberty. These charities all help strengthen American civil society by promoting private initiatives rather than government programs as the solution to the most pressing issues of the day in the areas of social welfare, health, the environment, economics, governance, foreign relations, and arts and culture. Supported charities will also encourage private philanthropy and individual giving as opposed to governmental solutions to society's problems.

If adopted, DCF takes oversight of the program as its own, generally contracting with the new organization to perform the program's day-to-day activities. Once the new organization receives its positive determination letter from the IRS finding it is a publicly supported charity, the organization becomes a free-standing entity independent from DCF.

If so, DCF may seek to obtain an equivalency determination from a qualified party finding that if the FNGO had been organized in the United States and had applied to the IRS for public charity status, in the opinion of the qualified party the FNGO would have received a positive determination letter from the IRS finding the FNGO would have qualified as a US publicly supported charity. If the qualified party issues a positive equivalency determination, DCF will accept contributions for the purpose of supporting the FNGO.

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 $12M to $9.1M (−22%).
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.
90% of Donors Capital Fund Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (81% 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.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
3 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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: $87k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Donors Trust Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money Donors Capital Fund Inc raised.
From the IRS filings of Donors Capital Fund Inc’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
Donors Capital Fund Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 99% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 Donors Capital Fund Inc.
“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 Donors Capital Fund Inc'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $6.8M arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
