  1. PRACC was successful in creating and operating the Oglala Lakota living History Village. The Village is a Native American tourism attraction that is open to the public during the summer tourism season. The project is a collaboration between the Oglala Sioux Tribe, Pine Ridge Area Chamber of Commerce and the South Dakota Department of Tourism. Unfortunately, due to the COVID 19 pandemic the OLLHV did not see the visitation that was projected. OLLHV will be open for the 2023 tourism season. Major milestones are: Employing local native youth. Completion of new displays. Providing cultural education. Formulating partnerships within the tourism industry.

Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2018 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $32k → $17k.

1 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 6% 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 PINE RIDGE AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE’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

PINE RIDGE AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 39% of grant income and the top three 77%; half comes from just 2 funders.

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

70% 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 PINE RIDGE AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $17k 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. 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.
