What Nevada Grantlab does
Mission
Nevada Grantlab supports nonprofit organizations and their government partners to access and administer federal grants that benefit nevadans. Federal funding plays a vital role in building resilient, inclusive communities and economies throughout the united states, but not so much here in nevada where we have historically secured among the lowest amounts of federal grant funding in the country, despite having among the highest needs. As a result, local nonprofits and government agencies have so much less to invest in education, affordable housing, good jobs, the arts, and our many other community needs. The good news: we can fundamentally improve nevada's federal grant performance right here at home. Working together - nonprofits, governments, philanthropy, businesses, and residents - we can build our capacity and competitiveness for federal grants, and finally fix outdated processes and underinvestment that hold us back. And when we do, resources will flow to underinvested people and

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 $4.8M to $14M (+187%).
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: 2022 1% · 2023 24% · 2024 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
94% of NEVADA GRANTLAB’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (60% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $1.4M → $938k.
4 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 95% 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 NEVADA GRANTLAB’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
NEVADA GRANTLAB leans on a few funders — its largest provides 57% of grant income and the top three 95%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
96% 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 NEVADA GRANTLAB.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 99% · 2023 66% — 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
95% of NEVADA GRANTLAB'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 $401k that is directly attributable, 93% of it comes from Nevada funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $8.3M 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.
Against its field
NEVADA GRANTLAB runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 659 community improvement nonprofits its size.
