What Fair Future Movement Inc does
Mission
Fair Future Movements mission is to unite the community for environmental justice. We work to foster a multiracial and multicultural environmental community by connecting and engaging with folks who have been excluded or not involved in the traditional environmental movement, dismantling systemic barriers to participation, and amplifying and organizing around current community initiatives.
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990.
Programs
The Art-at-the-Park Initiative integrated a broad range of activities based on the concept of urban ecology, a concept that is not solely focused on the natural environment but also on preserving and documenting the experiences of the people who currently live in the neighborhood, as well as those who came before them. Working with community artists and students from area colleges, we recorded interviews with residents and presented them through students artwork to honor and commemorate the knowledge of a communitys personal and collective histories as key to its sustainability. Our identity as humans is very much connected to the land we occupy. Striving to understand the urban ecology also lets us focus on this relationship between people and the spaces (historical, natural and environmental) that they inhabit.

In the summer of 2023, we conducted a Land Stewardship Internship program with 4 college age interns. In addition to land stewardship, the experience included wildlife habitat research, green career explorations, outdoor recreation, and community…

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 2022 to 2023, from $912k to $85k (−91%).
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 5% · 2022 12% · 2023 36%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
84% of FAIR FUTURE MOVEMENT INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (88% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 6 funders, grant income fell $191k → $173k.
5 of 23 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 45% 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 FAIR FUTURE MOVEMENT 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
FAIR FUTURE MOVEMENT INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 13% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
95% 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 FAIR FUTURE MOVEMENT INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 79% · 2018 74% · 2019 43% · 2020 53% · 2021 32% · 2022 36% · 2023 29% — 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
23% of FAIR FUTURE MOVEMENT INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 48% 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
FAIR FUTURE MOVEMENT INC draws 96% of its grant income from funders outside Wisconsin, across 6 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $886k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
