Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
The powered by the people (pxp) initiative is a five-year project supported by the us agency for international development (usaid), designed to enhance resilience and support of nonviolent social movements (nvsms) globally. Spearheaded by Partnersglobal (pg) and developed in collaboration with a wide-reaching consortium, pxp' s objectives focus on fostering solidarity, building leadership, improving accessibility to resources, and enhancing learning among activists, grassroots organizers, historically excluded communities, and their allies. The powered by the people (pxp) project entered fy25 with a full congressional obligation of $8.36 million for the activity year, furthering its well-established mechanisms, demonstrating a strong commitment to its mission globally through direct support, collaborative initiatives, and strategic grantmaking. By the end of the first quarter of fy25, the project successfully distributed approximately $10.3 million in funds through its consortium of 28 movement-support organizations. A total of 180 targeted awards were disbursed, supporting a diverse range of activities focusing on community development, economic opportunity, and inclusive…
$4,335,564 spent67% of program spendingCrs serbia- the civil society resilience activity (csra) in serbia is a five-year project funded by the united states agency for international development (usaid) and the swiss agency for development and cooperation (sdc) that seeks to contribute to a more inclusive and pluralistic serbian society by improving the legal environment for civil society, public understanding of civil society's contributions to the development of serbian society, and the ability of civil society in serbia to be more transparent, accountable, and representative of its constituents. Csra is implemented by Partnersglobal (partners) in partnership with dt institute, the european center for not-for-profit law (ecnl), gradjanske inicijative (civic initiatives), and partneri serbija (partners serbia).

When achieved, the program goal will support the overarching usaid/serbia development objective one: "resiliency of democratic actors increased, and intermediate result…

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 2023 to 2024, from $2.4M to $6.1M (+154%).
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 88% · 2018 95% · 2019 95% · 2020 92% · 2021 94% · 2022 85% · 2023 79% · 2024 96% · 2025 92%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of PARTNERSGLOBAL’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (97% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $20k → $1.3M.
2 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% 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 PARTNERSGLOBAL’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
PARTNERSGLOBAL leans on a few funders — its largest provides 69% of grant income and the top three 91%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
87% 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 PARTNERSGLOBAL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 98% · 2021 59% · 2022 87% · 2023 86% — diversifying over time.
“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
33% of PARTNERSGLOBAL's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 50% 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
PARTNERSGLOBAL draws 82% of its grant income from funders outside Washington, D.C., across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $25k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
Against its field
PARTNERSGLOBAL's funding base is broadening — from 1 funders to 3 as grant income climbed.
