What National Center of Womens Innovations does
Mission
Showcase and promote the achievements of yesterdays todays and tomorrows women innovators through a high-tech educational platform to inspire solutions for the future. The NCWI will be a place of discovery delight and insight. Contributions are tax-deductible. Women innovators have been under-recognized if not hidden from mainstream perceptions about who influences society. Womens technical creativity is largely unknown and thereby fails to inspire others while reinforcing the false belief that world solutions are a males domain. This discourages other women and girls while impeding the development of new ideas and inventions from which the world can benefit. A national center is needed to raise public awareness and solutions for the public academic and business communities while inspiring a diverse group of innovative students.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 Center of Womens Innovations’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.
Where its funders are
100% of National Center of Womens Innovations'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $45k 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.
