What Get Out the Native Vote does
Mission
Get out the native vote is intended to establish a permanent, non-partisan, civic engagement infrastructure for Alaska natives, increasing voter participation and political awareness within our communities. We strive to strengthen the Alaska native leadership capacity and involvement at the tribal, village, regional, state and native levels; including emphasis on young Alaska natives.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
On its FY2023 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
As part of the strategic review of the Organizations mission, management proposed to the Board of GOTNV a consolidation to maximize funding available for direct services to participants and increase operational efficiencies. Based on the recommendations of Management on August 7, 2024 the Board voted unanimously to dissolve GOTNV. All operations at GOTNV ceased on September 30, 2024 and were absorbed by CITC. The Organization will continue to operate a civic engagement department within CITC. Subsequently, all property, such as furniture, supplies, electronics, and systems, and all intellectual property, such as trademarks and copyrights were transferred to CITC.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Empower Alaska native people by amplifig their voice through increased voter registration, turnout, and participation in all aspects of our community's civic life. We want to ensure all Alaska native people exercise their right to vote on election day.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $300 to $138k (+45834%).
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: 2023 22% · 2024 77%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $50k → $105k.
2 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 78% 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 Get Out the Native Vote’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
Get Out the Native Vote leans on a few funders — its largest provides 67% of grant income and the top three 88%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
96% 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 Get Out the Native Vote.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 54% · 2023 95% — 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
40% of Get Out the Native Vote's funders are still giving 1 year after their first grant; 25% 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
78% of Get Out the Native Vote's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $115k that is directly attributable, 60% of it comes from Alaska funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $407k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
