What Engineers in Action Inc does
Mission
Engineers in action (eia) provides engineering solutions to improve the lives of people located in impoverished nations. Eia facilitates the building of water systems, sanitation structures and footbridges in bolivia, ecuador and eswatini with volunteer services from participating university engineering programs.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The EIA bridge program builds footbridges with isolated communities to ensure they have year-round safe access to essential resources such as education, healthcare, and markets. In 2024, the program included EIA volunteer teams at six companies and 21 universities in North America and Europe. With the help of those teams, the bridge program worked with isolated communities to design and build nine pedestrian footbridges in Bolivia and seven in Eswatini serving 24,290 people in 2024. Program services include oversight and management of volunteer teams, education program, logistical support for traveling teams, vetting of potential project sites, and close coordination with community, municipal and state government officials and agencies to identify communities in need and to secure program support.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2022 to 2023, from $298k to $545k (+83%).
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: 2021 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
45% of ENGINEERS IN ACTION INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (48% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 7 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
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 10 funders, grant income rose $42k → $280k.
9 of 24 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 47% 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 ENGINEERS IN ACTION 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
ENGINEERS IN ACTION INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 27% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
69% 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 ENGINEERS IN ACTION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 70% · 2019 72% · 2020 47% · 2021 51% · 2022 29% · 2023 36% — 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
36% of ENGINEERS IN ACTION INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% 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
ENGINEERS IN ACTION INC draws 65% of its grant income from funders outside Oklahoma, across 11 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $861k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
