What Four Corners Rising does
Mission
Our mission is to build trusted partnerships with Navajo community and chapter house leaders who want Din communities and culture to flourish and local economies to grow. We support Navajo communities who have identified chapter house development projects as the mechanism to build healthy and thriving communities. Our goal is to augment community capacity by providing planning, technical assistance, and financial resources to assist the implementation of their projects.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Program
PRIORITY 1: Building Four Corners Risings Organizational Capacity and Becoming a Trusted ResourceIn January 2023, our board members came together to build a new Navajo-based, Navajo-led organization rooted in our cultural values. Our vision ensures that future generations of Din communities are healthy, enduring and thriving. We are committed to honoring the life and dignity of our Din ancestors who sacrificed to maintain Dintah as a place for us to grow and prosper. We strive to emulate our Din ancestors, who were industrious in how they lived and cared for the land, animals, water and each other.Because water is life, our initial focus is on ensuring that Navajo communities, our people, and all our relatives have access to the water that our ancestors sacrificed and fought for.Since April 2023, we have had staff in communities working to build a cohort of leaders in an approach that embodies Ke (kinship) principles. These principles encourage intergenerational exclusivity, strengthen community capacity, build the well-being of our communities, and ensure that Navajo cultural values are an integral part of building prosperity within our communities.Our partnerships and process…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $50k to $40k (−20%).
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.
100% of FOUR CORNERS RISING’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (92% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 2 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $50k → $85k.
2 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 7% 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 FOUR CORNERS RISING’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
FOUR CORNERS RISING leans on a few funders — its largest provides 77% of grant income and the top three 91%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 49% — 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.
Where its funders are
FOUR CORNERS RISING draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside New Mexico, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $16k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
