Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.

02Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 4 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $301k → $187k.

Left out of every figure on this page: $37k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Wisconsin Electric Cooperative Association). These are real filings, and they are not money NATIONAL RURAL ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION raised.

From the IRS filings of NATIONAL RURAL ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION’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 RURAL ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 86% of grant income and the top three 98%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

100% 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 RURAL ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION.

03Its place in the field

Funders to approach

Grantmakers that don’t fund you yet, surfaced two ways: they back organizations that share your funders, or their grantees resemble your mission. The ones both signals agree on come first. Your 5 funders put you under-funded among the 400 organizations that share them.

From the co-funder graph (funders backing at least two comparable organizations, shrunk for grantee count, donor-advised and mega-funds excluded) and the universe embeddings. A research starting point; overlap is association, not a guarantee of fit.
