Nrha members participate in in-depth analysis, assistance, discussion, advocacy, programming, and policy production with stakeholders across the country. They participate in national conferences and symposiums, engage in education and assistance, and seek to improve access to healthcare in their rural communities. Nrha works to improve access to care for those living in rural communities. One of the most pertinent issues is the health care workforce shortage and its significant impact on patients' access to care.

$5,614,423 spent$5,225,198 earned by the program63% of program spendingState rural health associations (srhas) are nonprofit, grassroots organizations that are made up of the rural providers and other rural health leaders who work in each community and/or individual state. The National Rural Health Association began providing direct technical assistance to the srhas through this cooperative agreement with the federal office of rural health policy in the 1990s with 19 srhas. Over the last 30 years, nrha has supported in the development of an additional 25 srhas. National Rural Health Association, with support from the federal office of rural health policy provides technical assistance in the following three areas: communication, convenings, technical assistance and education. Besides srha, there are many other local and state agencies making a difference in providing healthcare access, training, research, and delivery to rural communities. These include oral health care initatives and age- related health initatives.

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 2021 to 2022, from $2.3M to $11M (+355%).
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 43% · 2018 44% · 2019 0% · 2020 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $100 → $11k.
1 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% 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 RURAL HEALTH 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 HEALTH ASSOCIATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 77% 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
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 61% · 2023 92% — diversifying over time.
“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
NATIONAL RURAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION draws 99% of its grant income from funders outside Missouri, across 5 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k 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.
