What Five Frogs Inc does
Mission
To build a powerful, inclusive movement of courageous leaders with the competencies, mindset, drive and relationships necessary to create transformational change.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Ldr helps leaders build skills, expand their network, and connect with peers to address systemic inequities and realize equity in connecticut. Components include: full cohort sessions, special guests, individual coaching, individual mentorship, participation in small peer groups, and the opportunity for individual reflection.
$180,864 spent$49,500 earned by the program80% of program spendingIndividual leadership coaching and group coaching are strengths and inquiry based experiences that help connecticut leaders achieve results. Through active listening and asking powerful and pertinent questions, coaches help leaders find and explore personal values, open up possibilities when a decision or action needs to be made, see different perspectives in a situation, try out and reflect on new practices and set and achieve goals.
$18,931 spent$8,600 earned by the program8% of program spendingPeer learning cohorts consist of leaders learning from and with each other in both formal and informal ways, often with affinity of role, identity, or interest area. These create meaningful and regular opportunities for leaders to connect, share resources with one another, and learn from one another's successes and challenges.

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 2020 to 2021, from $34k to $259k (+663%).
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.
81% of FIVE FROGS INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (84% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 6 funders, grant income rose $10k → $291k.
7 of 18 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 86% 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 FIVE FROGS 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
FIVE FROGS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 48% of grant income and the top three 83%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
90% 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 FIVE FROGS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 50% · 2019 56% · 2020 47% · 2021 65% · 2022 68% · 2023 88% — 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
40% of FIVE FROGS INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 61% 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
86% of FIVE FROGS 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. Of the $240k that is directly attributable, 98% of it comes from Connecticut funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.5M arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
