The organization over time

6 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 51% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $308k from 3 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The Jewish Federations of North America Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money JEWISH FAMILY SERVICE OF GREATER DALLAS FOUNDATION raised.
From the IRS filings of JEWISH FAMILY SERVICE OF GREATER DALLAS FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
58% 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 JEWISH FAMILY SERVICE OF GREATER DALLAS FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 77% · 2019 100% · 2020 57% · 2021 100% · 2022 58% · 2023 59% — 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.
How long its funders stay
40% of JEWISH FAMILY SERVICE OF GREATER DALLAS FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 36% 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.

Where its funders are

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $334k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
