Programs
Grants/contractsnasn received a large helmsley foundation grant to focus on building school nurse competency in type 1 diabetes management. Nasn developed, implemented, and examined the impact of a comprehensive evidence-based t1d curriculum for school nurses (sns) and increased sn capacity for t1d data collection and surveillance as part of efforts to monitor the impact of t1d on student outcomes. There are 28 school sites participating across 4 states (az, me, mt, oh). Nasn also received a grant from sanofi to develop a t1d awareness and screening toolkit for school nurses to educate over 500 sns including a targeted pilot in three school districts in each state. Nasn continues to receive grant funding from the centers for disease control and prevention (cdc) to address care for students with chronic conditions, develop a school-based active surveillance program, and define the school nursing role in student mental and behavioral health.

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. 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 2023 to 2024, from $7.5M to $9.7M (+30%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 14% · 2018 14% · 2019 12% · 2020 7% · 2021 22% · 2022 6% · 2023 11% · 2024 10% · 2025 12%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $21k → $84k.
3 of 16 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 6% 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 NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL NURSES’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
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL NURSES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 46% of grant income and the top three 90%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
56% 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 OF SCHOOL NURSES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 52% · 2020 100% · 2021 80% · 2022 73% · 2023 89% — growing more concentrated.
“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
18% of NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL NURSES's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 38% 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 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
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL NURSES draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Maryland, across 9 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $263k 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.
