What Iftas Inc does
Mission
Iftas is committed to fostering a safer, more inclusive open social web by empowering volunteer moderators with the tools, resources, and support necessary to navigate the complexities of digital content moderation.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Moderation services - iftas provides essential safety infrastructure for the decentralized web through the cariad observatory, and the dni (do not interact) and aud (abandoned and unmanaged) denylists to identify high-risk and spam-prone domains. While these resources are used by hundreds of independent fediverse services, their impact is amplified through formal adoption by major platforms including bridgyfed, wordpress, and nodbb. By centralizing these critical safety signals, iftas sets a scalable standard for proactive moderation that prevents the spread of harmful and illegal content across the social web. This collective defense model significantly reduces the operational burden on individual administrators, ensuring the long-term resilience of diverse online communities.
$27,889 spent45% of program spendingMember community - iftas fosters a collaborative environment for trust and safety professionals through the sw-isac (social web information sharing and analysis centre), a dedicated group where infrastructure owners and operators share actionable intelligence on cyber threats, service abuse, and safety hazards. We complement this high-level intelligence sharing with iftas connect, a real-time chat group that serves as a peer-support network for independent moderators and administrators. These forums enable members to coordinate responses to emerging harms, share best practices, and reduce the isolation often felt by volunteer safety teams. By providing these secure spaces for cooperation, iftas strengthens the collective expertise and emotional resilience of the decentralized social web's frontline.
$16,680 spent27% of program spendingGeneral programs - iftas drives systemic improvements in digital safety through comprehensive needs assessments that identify critical resource gaps within the decentralized web ecosystem. We provide expert policy advisories to help emerging services navigate complex global internet safety regulations, ensuring independent platforms can meet compliance standards without sacrificing their unique community values. Our impact is further extended through active leadership at key industry conferences, where we present original research and advocate for scalable safety frameworks. By translating high-level regulatory requirements into actionable guidance, iftas empowers diverse service providers to build safer, more sustainable online environments.

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 and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $362k to $69k (−81%).
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 IFTAS INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (97% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 IFTAS 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.
Where its funders are
100% of IFTAS INC'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $384k 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.

IFTAS INC's revenue fell 93% between 2023 and 2025.
