Where its funders are
EMPOWERIING LIVES TOGETHER draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside South Dakota, across 1 state in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $161 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
