$204,527,020 spentof which $176,300,000 as grants100% of program spending
The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $204,527,020.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $92M to $1.8M (−98%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2022: the base broadened from 4 funders to 6 funders, grant income fell $3.0M → $1.7M.
Left out of every figure on this page: $6.1M from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Right to Vote Foundation); $500k from one payer (an institutional transfer, not a grant programme, largest Civic Involvement Fund). These are real filings, and they are not money MAJORITY FORWARD raised.
From the IRS filings of MAJORITY FORWARD’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
MAJORITY FORWARD has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 29% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
100% 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 MAJORITY FORWARD.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 68% · 2021 100% · 2022 60% — diversifying over time.
