What Students for Life of America Inc does
Mission
SFL America will create a culture where those most affected by abortion are empowered and equipped to recruit their peers to join our human rights movement, save lives on the front lines, lead local and national initiatives, and provide tangible resources while supporting those facing an unplanned pregnancy.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Outreach and awareness: students for life of america is the "one-stop shop" for any student pro-lifer. Sfla provides students, no matter what age, with the training and resources they need to be successful, providing free postcards, outreach materials, events in a box, fliers for campus outreach, and campus display tours. One specific program sfla offers to student groups is our "pregnant on campus initiative", which walks groups step-by-step in how to bring tangible support to pregnant and parenting students on campus.

We believe that not only do we need to be engaging students where they are at but also that we need to track and measure our progress. This is why the field program consists of fulltime sfla regional coordinators working in regions across the nation to start and improve prolife groups on college and high school campuses.
$3,579,640 spent$32,767 earned by the program24% of program spendingCampus tours: the sfla campus tours are an exclusive opportunity for activism with individual students for life groups. Each regional coordinator is required to bring campus tour displays to universities and colleges in their regions, both in the fall and spring semesters. The campus tours provide in-depth training to the sfl groups and equip them on the most pressing issues for millennials regarding abortion. Each campus tour comes with one-on-one group training, national and local media press releases, 5-6 display panels, postcards, and the regional coordinator presence with the sfl group at the display. Campus tours improve the quality of sfl groups through equipping and working with them one-on-one to engage their campuses in a direct manner.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $3.6M to $7.4M (+104%).
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: 2021 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of Students for Life of America Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (96% for the typical peer).

From the IRS filings of Students for Life of America Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 256 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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
77% 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 Students for Life of America Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 47% · 2018 31% · 2019 32% · 2020 16% · 2021 16% · 2022 20% · 2023 24% — 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
39% of Students for Life of America Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 55% 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
70% of Students for Life of America 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 $4.8M that is directly attributable, 94% of it comes from funders outside Virginia, across 37 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $12M arriving through sponsors registered in 27 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.
