01What it does

What Interledger Foundation does

Mission

The Interledger Foundation is a nonprofit advocate for the web, promoting innovation, creativity, and inclusion by advancing open payment standards and technologies that seamlessly connect our global society.

As stated on its FY2023 Form 990.

Program

  1. The Interledger Foundation advances digital financial inclusion by developing and promoting the interledger protocol (ilp), a currency-agnostic payments network that broadens diversity and access in the technology ecosystem. During the tax year, the foundation hosted a global interledger summit that convened developers, activists, and entrepreneurs to advance the foundation's mission and build collaborative momentum. The foundation significantly expanded its public profile, securing coverage in 70 media outlets including leading financial and technology publications, generating 10 million media impressions globally. Technical achievements included advancing open payments and web monetization products, expanding the network to 3 active nodes running interledger and open payments infrastructure, and comprehensive improvements to technical documentation. The foundation also initiated development of the first interledger card offering and expanded community engagement efforts.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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.

Who funds it, year by year

Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.

Funder
'20
total
funders
1

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 INTERLEDGER FOUNDATION’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 INTERLEDGER FOUNDATION'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. $500k 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.
