What Powerquest Worldwide Ltd does

Mission

Part iii, organizations primary exempt purpose: specializes in the design and installation of medical radiology sytems, medical steam sterilizers, piped medical gas systems, and electrical services including diesel generator and battery backup systems and solar systems, for medical facilities in underserved areas. Related party disclosure: the organization is currently executing a three-year plan to wind down its operations. As part of the initial dissolution phase, the board of directors approved a resolution on february 16, 2025, to distribute service-related tools to the organizations president, william wright. All of the tools were over five years old and were originally acquired over several years for use in the organizations ongoing service programs. Following a review, the board determined the fair market value of these assets to be immaterial.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $3k → $4k.

4 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 70% 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 POWERQUEST WORLDWIDE LTD’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

POWERQUEST WORLDWIDE LTD leans on a few funders — its largest provides 37% of grant income and the top three 85%; 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 POWERQUEST WORLDWIDE LTD.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are

70% of POWERQUEST WORLDWIDE LTD's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $14k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside North Carolina, across 2 states.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $33k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
