Programs
Gov21 - a 21st Century Government Innovation Program - is designed to meet the evolving needs of federal agency leaders - providing new tools for a more effective government to aid policymakers and civil servants in making strategic decisions by developing new skills in innovation and service design, grounded in the complexity of the federal government. The Social Safety Net Product Studio project focuses on improving customer experience and outcomes for people in underserved populations needing state and federal services. Our first focus will be on agencies providing job services, unemployment, and worker protections. Our goal is to increase enrollment and retention in programs leading to self-sufficiency and the protection of low wage workers. We will also include aligned programs including TANF, SNAP, and community colleges because participants in one program are typically enrolled in several. Our intended audience are civil servants who design and run these programs without consideration of the actual needs of the people who need help. The exempt purpose of the project under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) is educational.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2022 to 2023, from $3k to $1k (−68%).
How it's funded, over time

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 80% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
80% 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 CENTER FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION.
“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
80% of NATIONAL CENTER FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION'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 $25k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Washington, D.C., across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $100k 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. 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.
