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.

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $51k → $34k.

Left out of every figure on this page: $2.6M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Spanish American Civic Association for Equality Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money SACA DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION raised.

From the IRS filings of SACA DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION’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

SACA DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 57% of grant income and the top three 80%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

26% 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 SACA DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION.
