Programs
Maritime child development center - the center opened in 1943 to care for the children whose parents worked at the nearby kaiser shipyards. The organization completely restored and reopened it as a multi-use building in 2011 (a richmond revitalization effort). Today the maritime houses a small exhibit by the national park service of a wartime preschool classroom, the organization's office and richmond charter prep preschool and elementary school. In 1999, the organization was created to help establish the rosie the riveter/world war ii home front national historical park in 2000 with the goal to preserve park sites across richmond including the opening of the park visitor education center located in the oil house of the ford building complex.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $7.3M to $7.0M (−4%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 0% · 2018 5% · 2019 19% · 2020 23% · 2021 11% · 2022 21% · 2023 22% · 2024 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
81% of ROSIE THE RIVETER TRUST’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (63% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 8 funders, grant income rose $112k → $167k.
5 of 24 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 32% 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 ROSIE THE RIVETER TRUST’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
ROSIE THE RIVETER TRUST has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 20% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
96% 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 ROSIE THE RIVETER TRUST.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 37% · 2018 38% · 2019 28% · 2020 35% · 2021 52% · 2022 32% · 2023 44% — growing more concentrated.
“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
36% of ROSIE THE RIVETER TRUST's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% 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
ROSIE THE RIVETER TRUST draws 57% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 5 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $452k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
