What International Visitors Utah Council does
Mission
To promote respect and understanding between the people of utah and other nations. Uccd serves as a nonprofit-sector partner with the u.s. Department of state's professional and cultural exchange programs, most notably the international visitor leadership program. Uccd arranges these professional and cultural programs for emerging leaders who visit the u.s. As guests of our government. Uccd is guided by the concept of "citizen diplomacy" - the idea that as citizens we have the right, even the responsibility, to help shape u.s. Foreign relations "one hand-shake at a time."
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $377k to $804k (+114%).
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 52% · 2018 48% · 2019 39% · 2020 81% · 2021 47% · 2022 57% · 2023 61% · 2024 34%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
73% of International Visitors Utah Council’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 9 funders, grant income rose $178k → $316k.
3 of 18 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 24% 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 Visitors Utah Council’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 Visitors Utah Council leans on a few funders — its largest provides 56% of grant income and the top three 81%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
95% 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 Visitors Utah Council.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 71% · 2018 72% · 2019 85% · 2020 84% · 2021 55% · 2022 82% · 2023 73% — growing more concentrated.
“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.
How long its funders stay
67% of International Visitors Utah Council's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
International Visitors Utah Council draws 91% of its grant income from funders outside Utah, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $477k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
