What Progress Arizona does
Mission
Progress Arizona is an arizona nonprofit corporation located in phoenix, arizona. Progress Arizona is an organization founded in 2018 to educate the public about key policy issues using digital organizing and communications.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
We used social media, digital organizing, earned media, and other communications tactics to educate and engage arizonans on key public policy issues, with a focus on voting rights and democracy, reproductive rights, lgbtq rights, taxes, and clean energy, among other topics. We worked with dozens of partner organizations across the state, appeared in a variety of local and national media outlets, had thousands of people engage with our work, and reached hundreds of thousands of people about policies and topics affecting their lives.

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $2,634,631.
The organization over time
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $1.3M to $800k (−36%).
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.
100% of PROGRESS ARIZONA’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (97% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 6 funders, grant income rose $120k → $815k.
3 of 26 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 7% 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 PROGRESS ARIZONA’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
PROGRESS ARIZONA has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 22% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 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 PROGRESS ARIZONA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 69% · 2021 41% · 2022 32% · 2023 39% — 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 PROGRESS ARIZONA's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 31% 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
PROGRESS ARIZONA draws 98% of its grant income from funders outside Arizona, across 9 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $510k 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
PROGRESS ARIZONA's funding base is broadening — from 1 funders to 6 as grant income climbed.
