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.

2 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF)26% 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: $5k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The Pittsburgh Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money NORTHEAST STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOUNDATION raised.

From the IRS filings of NORTHEAST STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation.

NORTHEAST STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 35% of grant income and the top three 78%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

61% 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 NORTHEAST STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOUNDATION.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $8k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 statesis 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.

03Its place in the field

Funders to approach

Grantmakers that don’t fund you yet, surfaced two ways: they back organizations that share your funders, or their grantees resemble your mission. The ones both signals agree on come first.

From the co-funder graph (funders backing at least two comparable organizations, shrunk for grantee count, donor-advised and mega-funds excluded) and the universe embeddings. A research starting point; overlap is association, not a guarantee of fit.
