What Responsibility Foundation Inc does
Mission
The responsibility foundation ("rf") is based on the inspiration and teachings of viktor e. Frankl, noted psychiatrist, author and holocaust survivor. Dr. Frankl wrote and taught a lot about the concept of responsibility. He said at the core responsibility is simply the ability to respond. Rf embraces that notion and encourages all to respond when opportunities to help solve problems and alleviate suffering align with abilities to do so. In other words, rf encourages the virtue of responsibility.
As stated on its FY2022 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2022 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
The organization added a new program service dedicated to providing relief for refugee families in ukraine.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Refugee crisis in ukraine: through rf's network of volunteers we were introduced to a small network of ukrainians who were driving refugees to safety after putin ordered russian armed forces to invade ukraine. These drivers would then return to their war-torn country empty. Rf has the ability to help fund and procure things desperately needed in ukraine like medical supplies, warm clothing and other items to alleviate suffering. Two of our volunteers traveled separately to poland and ukraine weeks after the february 24, 2022 invasion to assess conditions on the ground and determine if rf could help. Both recommended rf do all it could to assist the informal network of 10 drivers. Donations were procured by rf and transferred to the network of drivers, and to others who could ship items to ukraine like defensive body armor, helmets and drones. A fundraiser was held in utah on 4/9/22, which raised more funds earmarked for fuel, vehicle maintenance and procurement of additional vehicles to be used in shepherding refugees out of ukraine.

Subscriptions are then provided at no charge to schools in ghana and papua new guinea to help students learn english by focusing on oral language learning by speaking and listening within the software system. -computer science, partnering with skill struck to teach programing to kids in underserved school districts. Rf facilitates donations to the program, which enables skill struck to give its valuable instruction to school districts at no charge.

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.

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 RESPONSIBILITY FOUNDATION INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 2 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2022: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income fell $45k → $39k.
1 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 16% 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 RESPONSIBILITY FOUNDATION INC’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
RESPONSIBILITY FOUNDATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 54% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
46% 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 RESPONSIBILITY FOUNDATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 100% · 2022 67% — 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.
Where its funders are
RESPONSIBILITY FOUNDATION INC draws 64% of its grant income from funders outside Utah, across 2 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $13k 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.
Against its field
RESPONSIBILITY FOUNDATION INC's revenue grew 26% between 2017 and 2022.
