What Florida Rights Restoration Coalition does
Mission
We are dedicated to ending the disenfranchisement and discrimination against people with convictions, and creating a more comprehensive and humane reentry system that will enhance successful reentry, reduce recidivism, and increase public safety.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Educate and engage communities in issues, encourage them to run for public office, and act as messengers and spokespeople while building relationships and alliances across the political spectrum with partners who share our values and support our agenda. We hosted and co-sponsored second chance workshops, enjoyed election protection work in the 2023 elections, reached out to every florida senate and house of representatives member during in-district meetings and worked with state lawmakers to introduce bills that tackle some of the most critical issues to our members, including housing, jobs, and opportunity. We also educated our partners and thousands of members on new rules for organizations registering people to vote and began our know your rights campaign.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 $2.5M to $7.5M (+197%).
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: 2022 11% · 2024 36%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
93% of FLORIDA RIGHTS RESTORATION COALITION’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (97% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year

12 of 56 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 FLORIDA RIGHTS RESTORATION COALITION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 56 funders by total. 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
FLORIDA RIGHTS RESTORATION COALITION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 18% 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
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 FLORIDA RIGHTS RESTORATION COALITION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 97% · 2019 64% · 2020 40% · 2021 100% · 2022 46% · 2023 33% — 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
0% of FLORIDA RIGHTS RESTORATION COALITION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 36% 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
FLORIDA RIGHTS RESTORATION COALITION draws 94% of its grant income from funders outside Florida, across 17 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $6.8M 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.
