Program

  1. The organization had outstanding agreements guaranteeing commercial loans to small and growing businesses, agricultural enterprises and micro-finance institutions in the southern africa region. The aggregate exposure involved in the guarantees totaled $3,485,000. Because the credit facilities arranged by shared interest were limited to no morethan 75% of the loans they backed, the guarantees ultimately unlocked total lending of sums in excess of the stated amount by virtue of the risk-sharing agreed in the contracts between local institutions and the organizations. Additionally, the guarantee program, implemented by means of the proven trans-border mechanism of standby bank letters of credit, continued to give the confidence to southern african non-bank financials institutions and other alternative lenders to put capital at risk in the sphere of small business finance and lending to economically-disenfranchised individuals. Collateralizing the letters of credit, were the us-custodied investments of the organization, funded by loans and donations by american individuals, family foundations, faith-based institutions.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 16 funders to 11 funders, grant income fell $696k → $294k.

16 of 42 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 61% 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 SHARED INTEREST INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 42 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

SHARED INTEREST INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 29% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left

65% 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 SHARED INTEREST INC.

How long its funders stay

31% of SHARED INTEREST INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 57% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y+5y+6y

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

61% of SHARED INTEREST INC'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 $1.7M that is directly attributable, 76% of it comes from funders outside New York, across 16 states.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.7M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
