The Organization launched Envision Tahoe: Prosperity Plan 2.0. This work began with an initial report to analyze baseline conditions, followed by a second report that collected and synthesized input from stakeholders throughout the Tahoe community. In June 2022, the Organization released its Envision Tahoe Prosperity Playbook, a shared action plan for economic resilience, investment and community inclusion.

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 2023 to 2024, from $204k to $394k (+94%).
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: 2018 50% · 2019 28% · 2020 86% · 2021 19% · 2022 28%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of Tahoe Prosperity Center’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (62% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 5 funders, grant income fell $78k → $53k.
7 of 14 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 84% 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 Tahoe Prosperity Center’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
Tahoe Prosperity Center leans on a few funders — its largest provides 37% of grant income and the top three 72%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
90% 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 Tahoe Prosperity Center.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 77% · 2018 41% · 2019 80% · 2020 99% · 2021 90% · 2022 61% · 2023 36% — 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
38% of Tahoe Prosperity Center's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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
84% of Tahoe Prosperity Center'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 $118k that is directly attributable, 62% of it comes from funders outside Nevada, across 3 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $625k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
