Where its funders are
OPERA ACADEMY OF CALIFORNIA draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 1 state in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $208 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
