GREATER FARGO MOORHEAD ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

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.

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: 2017 55% · 2018 52% · 2019 41% · 2020 65% · 2021 64% · 2022 53% · 2023 48% · 2024 31%. 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

2017 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income fell $60k → $50k.

2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 4% 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: $170k from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Sanford Group Return). These are real filings, and they are not money GREATER FARGO MOORHEAD ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION raised.

From the IRS filings of GREATER FARGO MOORHEAD ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION’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

GREATER FARGO MOORHEAD ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 83% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 1 funder.

100% 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 GREATER FARGO MOORHEAD ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION.

Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 83% · 2018 80% · 2019 100% · 2020 75% · 2021 100% · 2022 80% · 2023 80% — 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

99% of GREATER FARGO MOORHEAD ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION's grant income comes from North Dakota funders.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $18k 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.
