01What it does

What Georgia Budget and Policy Institute Inc does

Mission

The Georgia Budget & Policy Institute works to advance lasting solutions that expand economic opportunity and well-being for all Georgians. We produce research and state budget analysis to show Georgia ways to provide equitable education, health care and opportunity for everyone.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Program

  1. GBPI provides budget and fiscal analysis to ensure our states policies are meeting the needs of our people. As the state has grown and become more racially and ethnically diverse, we have committed to disaggregating data and providing context as to why disparities along race, gender and other identities exist; seeking resources that advance organizational development and knowledge of equity in all its dimensions; recruiting and hiring from a diverse talent pool; developing relationships with diverse partner organizations and communities and better integrating racial and ethnic equity into the GBPIs strategic plan, mission, vision and core values.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 12 funders to 18 funders, grant income rose $566k → $2.2M.

10 of 51 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 9% 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 GEORGIA BUDGET AND POLICY INSTITUTE INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 51 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

GEORGIA BUDGET AND POLICY INSTITUTE INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 24% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left

44% 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 GEORGIA BUDGET AND POLICY INSTITUTE INC.

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.3M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
