01What it does

What Island Health & Wellness Foundation does

Mission

Island Health & Wellness Foundation's mission is to identify and advocate for health and wellness needs of deer isle-stonington; provide financial support, guidance and encouragement to local health and wellness organizations; and maintain the island medical center for the provision of health and dental care.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Program

  1. Island Health & Wellness Foundation owned and managed space for medical services to be made available to residents of deer isle, stonington, and surrounding islands, an area otherwise without convenient access to health care. Additionally, grants were provided to healthcare providers to support free and reduced-care services, and to area organziations to foster healthy lifestyles among local residents.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 9 funders, grant income fell $53k → $22k.

3 of 14 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 47% 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 ISLAND HEALTH & WELLNESS 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.

How concentrated its funding is

ISLAND HEALTH & WELLNESS FOUNDATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 29% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left

47% 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 ISLAND HEALTH & WELLNESS FOUNDATION.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $136k 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.
