Programs
Media - . In 2023, leap speakers contributed op eds, quotes, news mentions, and generations in top tier traditional media publications, including outlets with extensive reach like the washington post, the hill, cnn, and the guardian, as well as regional publications that have amplified our legislative initiatives and issue areas across the particular state, like the oc register (ca), penn live (pa), the daily northwestern (il), detroit news, and the san francisco chronicle. There was also extensive coverage in prominent industry outlets like marijuana moment, cannabiswire, and tobacco reporter. Our work around the menthol tobacco ban was the main policy area of conversation in 2023, with fentanyl sentencing and general drug legalization being other notable areas of legislative and issue commentary. The majority of our work in 2023 had media impacts in california and michigan, with a variety of topics centering around fentanyl sentencing and pretextual traffic stops, to the menthol tobacco ban and use of force standard, respectively.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2021 to 2022, from $1.3M to $6.4M (+397%).

From the IRS filings of LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTION PARTNERSHIP INC’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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
77% 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 LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTION PARTNERSHIP INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 69% · 2018 88% · 2019 53% · 2020 61% · 2021 55% · 2022 87% · 2023 69% — broadly stable.
“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
26% of LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTION PARTNERSHIP INC'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
64% of LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTION PARTNERSHIP INC'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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5.6M arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
