What Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Foundation does
Mission
To engage and catalyze global seafood supply chains in rebuilding depleted fish stocks and reducing the environmental impacts of fishing and fish farming.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Sustainable fisheries partnership (sfp) is working toward a world where all fisheries and aquaculture are improving and everyone has access to responsibly sourced and produced seafood. Sfp works across the entire seafood value chain, from the world's largest retailers to artisanal fishers, to find practical solutions to difficult problems. Through strong relationships with the seafood industry and the catch sector, sfp leverages the power of retailers, seafood buyers, and their supply chains to drive change in fisheries and aquaculture regions around the world. Sfp focuses on delivering impact in three main areas: ensuring abundant fisheries: while governments are ultimately responsible for preserving and maintaining the health of fish stocks, many lack the necessary resources or technical and structural capacity to manage every fishery effectively. To support government efforts, sfp promotes innovative models for managing these common resources. Sfp believes that the route to lasting change is through collaborative management, involving the private sector in financing and participating in data collection and science, management regulations and decisions, and monitoring and…

The 2 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $7,272,534.
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 $5.6M to $7.4M (+32%).
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: 2017 1% · 2018 7% · 2019 13% · 2020 9% · 2021 10% · 2022 4% · 2023 8% · 2024 14%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
90% of SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES PARTNERSHIP FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (74% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 8 funders, grant income rose $515k → $5.4M.
5 of 21 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 6% 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 SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES PARTNERSHIP 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
SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES PARTNERSHIP FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 39% of grant income and the top three 85%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 39% · 2018 83% · 2019 80% · 2020 46% · 2021 61% · 2022 45% · 2023 67% — growing more concentrated.
“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
56% of SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES PARTNERSHIP FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 81% 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
SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES PARTNERSHIP FOUNDATION draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Hawaii, across 10 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.4M arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
