Indigenous Cultural Concepts: Annual Report 2025 for Media Island International - Our year has gone by so fast, the summer has been extremely hot, with need for water being more sever than ever. We were able to get two community support resolutions passed at the local level which are Black Falls and Hardrock -Big Mountain communities to to get deep wells which is to add to piping to go deeper into the ground water, as water table drops we have to dig deeper. Currently, we are stuck as to which jurisdiction the Black Falls is in and we also have to get water testing done for human consumption to see how much uranium and other toxins may make it undrinkable. The Big Mountain well needs to get water testing done and set up with new filtering system and have the additional piping done. In this area we will continue to work with these two communities until completed. For now, we are continuing to haul water for human consumption for the support of families. The fall food drive was one of the best we've had in a long time, enough food and supplies was passed out and a lot more extra for the winter.

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 2021 to 2022, from $103k to $94k (−8%).
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.
100% of MEDIA ISLAND INTERNATIONAL’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (87% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2022: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $13k → $218k.
5 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 19% 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 MEDIA ISLAND INTERNATIONAL’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
MEDIA ISLAND INTERNATIONAL leans on a few funders — its largest provides 53% of grant income and the top three 79%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
97% 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 MEDIA ISLAND INTERNATIONAL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 45% · 2020 46% · 2021 59% · 2022 82% — 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
0% of MEDIA ISLAND INTERNATIONAL's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 45% 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 FY2022, 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
66% of MEDIA ISLAND INTERNATIONAL's grant income comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $113k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
