03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 12 funders, grant income rose $14k → $3.6M.

6 of 28 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 13% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

Left out of every figure on this page: $21M from 10 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Mass General Brigham Incorporated & Affiliates Group Return); $52k from one payer (the same organization on both sides, largest Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money MASSACHUSETTS LEAGUE OF COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS INC raised.

From the IRS filings of MASSACHUSETTS LEAGUE OF COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 27 of 28 funders by total. 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

MASSACHUSETTS LEAGUE OF COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 35% of grant income and the top three 73%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

48% 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 MASSACHUSETTS LEAGUE OF COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS INC.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

17% of MASSACHUSETTS LEAGUE OF COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 43% give in more than one year at all.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
