$3,405,108 spent100% of program spendingThe iea aims to develop understanding, appreciation, and participation in equestrian sports through organized competitions and additional equine educational opportunities. During fy 24.25, our organization hosted 1072 shows. We showed a small increase in membership, ending at a total member count of 14,960.
The iea undertook a major change in 24.25 as we focused on a technological overhaul to bring all of our operating systems for tracking members and events into a new, customized system that would integrate with more advanced payment systems, improved security, and general platform/operating advancements. That system overhaul and transition took dedication and overtime from staff and management, but the net result is a huge enhancement to our member experience and to an unavoidable upgrade since the prior operating system was no longer supported by existing technology. The iea continues to offer its adult pilot program, and included incorporation of the adult competitions and tracking into its new data systems. Additionally, the core educational component of the iea, its "hippology" program (study of horses and horsemanship) expanded significantly in 24.25. Incorporating the program into the new data systems brought a tremendous increase in participation adding about 1600 new participants. The iea also expanded its youth leadership program by expanding its youth board preparation down to the team level through its "team captains campaign" that encouraged all iea teams to designate a…

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 $1.3M to $1.7M (+34%).
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: 2021 5% · 2022 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
46% of INTERSCHOLASTIC EQUESTRIAN ASSOC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (13% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $5k → $28k.
4 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 94% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
INTERSCHOLASTIC EQUESTRIAN ASSOC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 83% of grant income and the top three 95%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
94% 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 INTERSCHOLASTIC EQUESTRIAN ASSOC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2020 99% · 2021 97% · 2022 57% · 2023 71% — diversifying over time.
“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
94% of INTERSCHOLASTIC EQUESTRIAN ASSOC'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 $10k that is directly attributable, 90% of it comes from funders outside Ohio, across 3 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $168k 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.
