Where its funders are
100% of MEN OF PURPOSE INCORPORATED's grant income comes from Michigan funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $106k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
