Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2021: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $20k → $45k.

Left out of every figure on this page: $259k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Lighthouse Financial Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money LIGHTHOUSE RESOURCE CENTER raised.

From the IRS filings of LIGHTHOUSE RESOURCE CENTER’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

LIGHTHOUSE RESOURCE CENTER leans on a few funders — its largest provides 84% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

84% 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 LIGHTHOUSE RESOURCE CENTER.
