03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 10 funders to 18 funders, grant income rose $344k → $2.7M.

7 of 58 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 35% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

Left out of every figure on this page: $25k from one payer (the payer's own filing calls it a related party, largest The Halperin Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money FOR OAK CLIFF raised.
