What Open Democracy Action does
Mission
Bring about and safeguard political equality for the people of New Hampshire. This will only happen through an open, accountable, and trusted democratic government, of, by, and for the people, that is free from the corrupting influence of big-money politics and control.
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Open Democracy Action advocated for policy changes to support safe, secure elections. We advocated for fiar maps and transparency in the redistricting process. Open Democracy Action also worked to close the loopholes in our campaign finance system in NH and nationally. We grew our Open Democracy Regional Teams and promoted citizen action.
The program described on its FY2023 Form 990-EZ.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $70k to $28k (−59%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

How concentrated its funding is
Open Democracy Action leans on a few funders — its largest provides 53% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder 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 Open Democracy Action.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 52% · 2020 83% — diversifying over time.
