What North Dakota Safety Council does
Mission
We are dedicated to preventing injuries and saving lives.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Ndsc's largest program is safety training. The training offered by the ndsc is diverse and covers multiple topics. The main focus of that training is in four key areas--1) occupational safety, 2) emergency care, 3) traffic safety, and 4) home and community. Over the course of the fiscal year, a total of 21,430 students were reached.

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 2019 to 2020, from $7.5M to $8.6M (+14%).
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 12% · 2018 12% · 2019 7% · 2020 28% · 2021 18% · 2022 33% · 2023 12% · 2024 12% · 2025 14%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
24% of NORTH DAKOTA SAFETY COUNCIL’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (69% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 4 funders to 2 funders, grant income fell $94k → $38k.
4 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 21% 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 NORTH DAKOTA SAFETY COUNCIL’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 10 of 11 funders by total. 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
NORTH DAKOTA SAFETY COUNCIL leans on a few funders — its largest provides 29% of grant income and the top three 73%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
70% 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 NORTH DAKOTA SAFETY COUNCIL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 53% · 2018 73% · 2019 45% · 2020 37% · 2021 42% · 2022 55% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“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
57% of NORTH DAKOTA SAFETY COUNCIL's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 64% 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
NORTH DAKOTA SAFETY COUNCIL draws 57% of its grant income from funders outside North Dakota, across 4 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $109k 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.
