01What it does

What No Bully does

Mission

No Bully is a San Francisco based non-profit organization that trains schools on how to leverage student empathy to stop bullying and cyberbullying. The non-punitive No Bully System has created bully-free campuses for over 270,000 students.

As stated on its FY2021 Form 990.

Program

  1. Incorporated in 2009, No Bully began in San Francisco in 2003 as a collaborative of educators, psychologists and lawyers committed to preventing the current generation of students from enduring the bullying that they experienced when they were in school. The No Bully System is a step-by-step process and set of interventions to prevent and stop bullying in schools. It guides school leaders and staff through a series of interventions for responding to bullying and harassment, depending on the severity of the incident. When severe or persistent bullying occurs, teachers facilitate Solutions Teams, where the target's peer group and the bully come together to stop the bullying. The evidence-based approach leverages the empathy and kindness inherent in all of us. Independent studies of the No Bully System show that schools trained by No Bully remedy bullying in over 90% of cases and that this remained true at a three-month follow up. The No Bully System aligns well with Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), Response to Interventions (RTI) and Restorative Justice. For schools that are using PBIS, No Bully Solution Team is a Tier 2 intervention, and the follow-up coaching…

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.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2021: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income fell $225k → $25k.

7 of 23 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 4% 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 No Bully’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

No Bully leans on a few funders — its largest provides 70% of grant income and the top three 89%; half comes from just 1 funder.

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

90% 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 No Bully.

Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 63% · 2019 77% · 2020 54% · 2021 55% — 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

20% of No Bully's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 17% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y+2y+3y

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 FY2021, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.

California out of state home

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $40k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.

These figures are read directly from IRS Form 990 / 990-PF e-file XML: this organization’s own return for FY2021 (financials across 2017–2021), and the filings of 23 funders that report grants to it. “On record” means captured in the filings we have parsed — a funder that does not e-file, or whose grant detail is not itemized, will not appear. Filings run roughly 12–24 months behind. Trends on this page end at FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving; later years are shown and marked, and move no figure.
