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.

5 of 22 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 33% 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: $404k from 3 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Community Foundation of North Florida Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money TALLAHASSEE STATE COLLEGE FOUNDATION INC raised.

From the IRS filings of TALLAHASSEE STATE COLLEGE FOUNDATION INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 20 of 22 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.

TALLAHASSEE STATE COLLEGE FOUNDATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 35% of grant income and the top three 73%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

79% 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 TALLAHASSEE STATE COLLEGE FOUNDATION INC.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $340k 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.
