Program
Our fiscal sponsorship program with future coalition, fiscal incubator, has expanded to support 27 projects nationwide, including youth-led and grassroots groups working across civic engagement, social justice, and climate action. We continue to provide these projects with the professional tools, skills, and networks they need to build effective and sustainable organizations.this year, we launched our model c fiscal sponsorship program to empower more autonomous projects, offering them the freedom to operate independently while benefiting from our infrastructure and support. This new model allows us to partner with mission-aligned organizers in a more flexible and impactful way, expanding our ability to support innovative movements across the country.our commitment to storytelling continues to grow, with several new blog posts published this year. Our blog aims to be a resource center for anyone committed to social change, amplifying voices often suppressed by mainstream society. We have also relaunched our social media channels to broaden our reach, share resources, and connect with people working to remove barriers to organizing.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2020 to 2021, from $132k to $3.1M (+2258%).
How it's funded, over time

Left out of every figure on this page: $15k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest March On). These are real filings, and they are not money MARCH ON MARYLAND raised.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
53% 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.
