IMPACTASSETSINC
IMPACTASSETSINC (Maryland) receives grants from 201 organizations whose IRS filings report $1,599,339,387 to it, the largest being FIDELITY INVESTMENTS CHARITABLE GIFT FUND ($387,362,825). 86 of them have funded it in more than one year, and 83% of the money arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors rather than from an institution directly. IMPACTASSETSINC administers funds for other donors, so those contributions arrive into funds it holds rather than supporting a program it runs itself.
Hosts funds for others
IMPACTASSETSINC administers funds on behalf of other donors. The grants recorded as coming in are contributions into those funds, so they count custody rather than support for a programIMPACTASSETSINC runs itself. This page therefore states the flows and does not draw the comparisons it would draw for an operating charity: concentration, funder retention, grant dependency and the peer field are all left out, because each of them would read a vehicle as if it were a program.

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.
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 30 funders to 75 funders, grant income rose $17M → $199M.
66 of 201 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 83% 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: $255M from one payer (an institutional transfer, not a grant programme, largest Kataly Foundation); $305k from one payer (the same organization on both sides, largest Impactassetsinc). These are real filings, and they are not money IMPACTASSETSINC raised.
From the IRS filings of IMPACTASSETSINC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 201 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.
Where its funders are
83% of IMPACTASSETSINC'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 $269M that is directly attributable, 98% of it comes from funders outside Maryland, across 29 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.3B arriving through sponsors registered in 25 statesis 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.
Funders to approach
Grantmakers that don’t fund you yet, surfaced two ways: they back organizations that share your funders, or their grantees resemble your mission. The ones both signals agree on come first. Your 201 funders put you under-funded among the 400 organizations that share them.
