What National Association for the Advancement of Colored People-Group does
Mission
To achieve equity, political rights, and social inclusion by advancing policies and practices that expand human and civil rights, eliminate discrimination, and accelerate the well-being, education, and economic security of black people and all persons of color.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The naacp network of activists is strong. Through our units, we are in community meetings and boardrooms, college campuses, capitol hill and statehouses, advocating to build black political, social, and economic power to end racial injustice and making sure federal policies reflect the diverse voices they impact. Our units are doing the work on a local, state and regional level, powering the movement for change in the following areas: 1. Race & justice - structural discrimination and unjust policing, prosecution, and incarceration practices unfairly impact black communities. 2. Health & well-being - black health matters, and our work on behalf of families has never been more urgent. (continued on schedule o)3. Inclusive economy - economic equity is crucial to racial equity. An inclusive economy means everyone can contribute and earn with fair access to resources and opportunity. 4. Advocacy & litigation - the path to justice requires that we challenge federal, state, and local laws, statutes, and policies to ensure equal protection. Our units are shaping the next generation of activists, and we invest in them with training, fellowship, and scholarships.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $26M to $36M (+35%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 6 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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
99% 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 NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE-GROUP.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2020 51% · 2021 100% · 2022 65% · 2023 67% — diversifying over time.

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 FY2023, 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
59% of NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE-GROUP'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 $267k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Maryland, across 7 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $390k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
