SAN ANTONIO CONSERVATION SOCIETY FOUNDATION

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.

Surplus & reserves

Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $8k → $97k.

3 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 74% 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: $2.3M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest San Antonio Conservation Society). These are real filings, and they are not money SAN ANTONIO CONSERVATION SOCIETY FOUNDATION raised.

From the IRS filings of SAN ANTONIO CONSERVATION SOCIETY 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

SAN ANTONIO CONSERVATION SOCIETY FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 46% of grant income and the top three 82%; half comes from just 2 funders.

78% 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 SAN ANTONIO CONSERVATION SOCIETY FOUNDATION.

Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 91% · 2018 53% · 2019 52% · 2020 29% · 2021 32% · 2022 71% · 2023 82% — 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

74% of SAN ANTONIO CONSERVATION SOCIETY FOUNDATION's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $92k that is directly attributable, 61% of it comes from Texas funders.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $258k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
