03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 11 funders, grant income rose $17k → $165k.

From the IRS filings of JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT OF SOUTHWEST FLORIDA INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $287k 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.
