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.

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 5 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $172k → $125k.

Left out of every figure on this page: $894k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest International Union of Operating Engineers). These are real filings, and they are not money OPERATING ENGINEERS NATIONAL CHARITY FUND raised.

From the IRS filings of OPERATING ENGINEERS NATIONAL CHARITY FUND’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

OPERATING ENGINEERS NATIONAL CHARITY FUND leans on a few funders — its largest provides 35% of grant income and the top three 60%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders 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 OPERATING ENGINEERS NATIONAL CHARITY FUND.

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.
