What Mag America Inc does
Mission
Mag america's mission is to save lives and build futures by working with others around the world to reclaim land contaminated with the explosive remnants of conflict, reduce the daily risk of death or injury for civilians, and create safe and secure conditions for development.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
In 2024 we cleared over 78,000 landmines and unexploded ordnance, which released 21,700 acres of safe land back to communities to rebuild their lives and livelihoods. In addition mag provided over 24,000 risk education classes. Our work in 2024 benefitted over 1,300,000 people, allowing them to live free from fear, across 38 countries. We help communities to recover from conflict, reducing the threat from small arms and light weapons, and enable socio and economic development through clearance of landmines and unexploded ordnance, battle area clearance, explosive ordnance disposal, emergency response, risk education, physical security and stockpile management, and training of host nation employees and authorities. Mag america works with our implementing partner, mines advisory group (mag uk) to clear, and make safe, contaminated land for agriculture, infrastructure, construction of schools, clinics and hospitals and construction of wells and irrigation

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $14M to $18M (+29%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 93% · 2018 82% · 2019 98% · 2020 98% · 2021 93% · 2022 95% · 2023 94% · 2024 96%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of MAG AMERICA INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (21% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 8 funders, grant income rose $2k → $2.2M.
6 of 19 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 3% 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 MAG AMERICA 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.
How concentrated its funding is
MAG AMERICA INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 65% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 66% · 2018 44% · 2019 96% · 2020 94% · 2021 92% · 2022 97% · 2023 54% — 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
57% of MAG AMERICA INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 68% 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
MAG AMERICA INC draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Washington, D.C., across 8 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $216k 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.
