What Georgia Robotics Alliance Inc does

Mission

The Georgia Robotics Alliance is operated to support and expand the activities of STEM related educational programs, especially those under the auspices of the FIRST Robotics programs, in the state of Georgia and the Southeast.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. The Georgia Robotics Alliance has continued support for a total of 20 high school FIRST, FTC, and VEX robotics teams and has maintained support of the BEST Robotics program for the state of Georgia in the support and encouragement of STEM related activities in metro Atlanta area high schools. The GRA has expanded this support to include a student driven elementary & middle school oriented drone construction and competition effort. This program has grown to include support of a high school team that competes in the UAV4STEM national program. The GRA's efforts have aided these organizations in receiving a total of $335,071 in funding for support of their programs. The Alliance has also assisted teams in procuring in-kind donations of software for their operations.

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 narrowed from 4 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $43k → $19k.

4 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 24% 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 ROBOTICS ALLIANCE 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

GEORGIA ROBOTICS ALLIANCE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 53% of grant income and the top three 77%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

80% 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 ROBOTICS ALLIANCE INC.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

44% of GEORGIA ROBOTICS ALLIANCE INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 67% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y+5y+6y

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. $110k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
