4 of 29 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 5% 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 SCHENECTADY INNER CITY MINISTRY INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 27 of 29 funders by total. 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

SCHENECTADY INNER CITY MINISTRY INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 34% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.

63% 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 SCHENECTADY INNER CITY MINISTRY INC.
