What Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft does
Mission
The quincy institute promotes ideas that move u.s. Foreign policy away from endless war and toward vigorous diplomacy in the pursuit of international peace. Qi's staff and non-resident experts expose the costs and consequences of unaccountable, overly militarized foreign policy and present alternative approaches under our general program and our responsible statecraft program, in addition to our six broad thematic programs - middle east, east asia, grand strategy, democratizing foreign policy, global south, and eurasia.

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 2022 to 2023, from $4.2M to $7.3M (+72%).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
79% 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 QUINCY INSTITUTE FOR RESPONSIBLE STATECRAFT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 31% · 2021 20% · 2022 32% · 2023 30% — broadly stable.
“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.

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.

58% of QUINCY INSTITUTE FOR RESPONSIBLE STATECRAFT'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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $13M arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
