Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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: $25k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest International Training Institute for the Sheet Metal & Air Conditioning Industry). These are real filings, and they are not money SHEET METAL AND AIR CONDITIONING APRNTIC ESHIPJRNYMAN TRAINING FUND SAN DIEGO raised.

Where its funders are
100% of SHEET METAL AND AIR CONDITIONING APRNTIC ESHIPJRNYMAN TRAINING FUND SAN DIEGO'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $25k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
