What Matters on Tomorrow does
Mission
Matters on Tomorrow provides venture philanthropy - (1) non-profits are an essential part of our world. When they are done well, they are a shining examples of what passionate and sincere social entrepreneurs can accomplish - but compared to startups in the private sector, most non-profits face significant hurdles to scaling via developing new programs, finding new funding, and dealing with the administrative rigmarole needed to maintain their 501(c)(3) status and the public's good faith and trust. (2) Matters on Tomorrow helps non-profits side-step the painful start-up process and allows visionaries to spend more time impacting the world. A lot of nonprofits have remarkable ideas, but they have no clue how or where to begin, especially on the administrative level. That's where we come in - we know what we do best (record keeping, government filings, insurance review, and a ton more) - sound boring? - well, it is to most people but for some reason, we're really good at it.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2018 to 2019, from $96k to $56k (−42%).
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.
91% of MATTERS ON TOMORROW’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 8 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
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $34k → $59k.
3 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 87% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
MATTERS ON TOMORROW leans on a few funders — its largest provides 83% of grant income and the top three 96%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
96% 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 MATTERS ON TOMORROW.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 97% · 2018 94% · 2019 94% · 2020 97% · 2021 100% · 2022 90% · 2023 53% — 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.
Where its funders are
87% of MATTERS ON TOMORROW's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $36k that is directly attributable, 74% of it comes from Nebraska funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $243k 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. 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.
