  4. Resilience innovationafter the fire usa innovates practical resilience models that reduce wildfire risk before disaster and improve recovery after it. Our north bay forest improvement program was a six-year pilot funded by cal fire and built with rcds and cbos across four counties. This equity-based cost-share model helped private landowners reduce hazardous fuels in the wildlands around homes, lowering risk at the parcel and community scale. After proving the model, we transferred it to conservation works for long-term implementation. Our 2026 insured home pilot, developed with rebuild paradise foundation and our sbp fellow, makes home insurability more accessible through zone zero home hardening, clear guidance, and user-friendly systems. Together, these programs show how we turn survivor-informed knowledge into scalable tools for resilience. Currently, we are piloting "the insured home" to demystify the process of home hardening for the general public.

Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 $1k → $61k.

4 of 14 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 21% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

Left out of every figure on this page: $300k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest United Way of the Wine Country). These are real filings, and they are not money REBUILD NORTH BAY FOUNDATION raised.

From the IRS filings of REBUILD NORTH BAY FOUNDATION’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

REBUILD NORTH BAY FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 34% of grant income and the top three 68%; half comes from just 2 funders.

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

27% 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 REBUILD NORTH BAY FOUNDATION.

How long its funders stay

0% of REBUILD NORTH BAY FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $277k 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.
