What EARTH University Foundation Inc does
Mission
Euf's principal mission is to provide financial assistance and other support for the education of students attending earth university(escuela de agricultura de la regin tropical hmeda) and for earth's programs and initiatives in support of that education. Earth university is a non-profit four-year degree-granting institution with international administration, faculty, students, programs and initiatives. Earth and its students contribute to the sustainable development of the tropics through education in the agricultural sciences and natural resources, and the development of students as "catalysts for change," individuals with strong ethical and human values, social and environmental consciousness and an entrepreneurial mentality. Euf also fully embraces earth university's mission to "prepare leaders with ethical values to contribute to sustainable development and to construct a prosperous and just society."
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 $90M to $75M (−16%).
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: 2017 1% · 2018 2% · 2020 2% · 2021 13% · 2022 2% · 2023 16% · 2024 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
80% of EARTH University Foundation Inc’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (97% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 17 funders to 31 funders, grant income rose $2.6M → $3.7M.
24 of 67 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 11% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
EARTH University Foundation Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 44% of grant income and the top three 63%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
55% 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 EARTH University Foundation Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 47% · 2018 47% · 2019 57% · 2020 37% · 2021 50% · 2022 54% · 2023 40% — 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
51% of EARTH University Foundation Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 70% 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
EARTH University Foundation Inc draws 92% of its grant income from funders outside Georgia, across 19 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.8M arriving through sponsors registered in 13 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.
