Program
Salt and ight coalition is a grassroots movement mobilizing individuals and organizations to empower survivors to live meaningful and purposeful lives. The salt and light coalition prioritizes depth, not reach. We focus on completely transforming the lives of women who then change the lives of their families, communities,and surrounding world. When you invest in women, your dividend is higher, a phenomenon that the world bank calls the girl effect. Focusing on the deeply transformative poser of women exponentially grows our impact. On average, thrivers see a 20% decrease in their depression scores during their year with salc, a 23% decrease in their anxiety scores, and 19% increase in their self-esteem. 47% of thrivers come into salc without a high school degree. Upon graduation 79% have their high school diploma or ged. Although only 11% ov thrivers have work history coming in, 75% are working at graduation. Only 16% of thrivers come to salc with stable housing, but at graduation, 75% have stable housing.

The organization over time
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $527k to $5.8M (+1006%).
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: 2020 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
45% of SALT AND LIGHT COALITION NFP’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 11 funders, grant income rose $10k → $169k.
12 of 25 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 43% 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 SALT AND LIGHT COALITION NFP’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
SALT AND LIGHT COALITION NFP leans on a few funders — its largest provides 36% of grant income and the top three 56%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
80% 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 SALT AND LIGHT COALITION NFP.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 40% · 2020 63% · 2021 85% · 2022 31% · 2023 39% — 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.
How long its funders stay
36% of SALT AND LIGHT COALITION NFP's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 40% 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

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $286k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
