$119,857 spent35% of program spendingKnowledge DevelopmentIAVE organized online master classes for members of GNVL from throughout the world on corporate volunteering, the role of branding in the volunteer sector, and harnessing technology and reducing research inequality in the Global South.The second part of IAVEs research on the state of health of corporate volunteering throughout the world was published in 2023. The study drew on interviews with staff of 80 companies with operations in 175 countries and a combined workforce of over 8 million people. Part 2 explores regional issues in greater depth with essays written by members of the research team local to the region.In 2023, work was begun on research and thought leadership on the relationship of volunteering by youth to employability, well-bring, activism, and sustainable livelihoods. Each paper was paired with a webinar to stimulate discussion and collaborative thinking around each facet of the research. As a solid outcome from this work, in December 2023, IAVE announced a collaboration with the African Union on volunteer-powered pathways to youth employment, the Reskilling Revolution Africa.

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 2022 to 2023, from $544k to $273k (−50%).
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. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $10k → $13k.
4 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 72% 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 International Association for Volunteer Effort’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
International Association for Volunteer Effort leans on a few funders — its largest provides 58% of grant income and the top three 92%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
72% 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 International Association for Volunteer Effort.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 77% · 2020 58% · 2021 100% · 2022 41% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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
72% of International Association for Volunteer Effort'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 $118k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Washington, D.C., across 2 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $303k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
