What Nextgen Climate Action does
Mission
Nextgen america empowers young people to engage in the democratic process through voter registration and civic engagement on issues of public policy. This is achieved through innovative digital outreach, communications, and grassroots field organizing strategies
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Field organizing programnextgen america maintained a successful grassroots voter contact program throughout the year. These efforts included education, registration, issue organizing, and mobilization of young voters between the ages of 18 and 35. Young voters are essential to determining the long-term strength of our democracy and they are more likely to vote when engaged through year-round programs that empower them to elevate their voices to create a better future they envision.

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. 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 2021 to 2022, from $3.0M to $5.5M (+84%).
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.
100% of NEXTGEN CLIMATE ACTION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (26% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income fell $1.0M → $710k.
2 of 16 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 27% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $42M from 3 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Nextgen Education Fund). These are real filings, and they are not money NEXTGEN CLIMATE ACTION raised.
From the IRS filings of NEXTGEN CLIMATE ACTION’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
NEXTGEN CLIMATE ACTION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 26% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders 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 NEXTGEN CLIMATE ACTION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 43% · 2020 100% · 2022 44% · 2023 35% — 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.
How long its funders stay
0% of NEXTGEN CLIMATE ACTION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 31% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
NEXTGEN CLIMATE ACTION draws 66% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 6 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.2M arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
