What Texas Organizing Project does
Mission
The Texas Organizing Project (TOP) is an explicitly pro-Black organization working to improve the lives of working class Black and Latino Texas families by building power through community organizing and civic engagement. We are a membership based organization of low-moderate income residents, majority Black and Latino, that conducts issue advocacy, lobbying efforts and electoral organizing on behalf of its membership.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Community Organizing expenses: TOP organizes low to moderate income families in Harris, Dallas, and Bexar counties. TOP builds networks of community leaders and broad bases of organized residents, equipping them to win tangible policy changes that improve their communities with resounding effects citywide, countywide and statewide. TOP members focus on issues such as affordable housing, improving neighborhood infrastructure, improving public schools, jobs and job training, affordable health care, criminal justice reform, and immigrants' rights.

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.
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 $4.0M to $2.5M (−38%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 6 funders to 7 funders, grant income rose $60k → $1.1M.
3 of 33 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 TEXAS ORGANIZING PROJECT’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 33 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.
How concentrated its funding is
TEXAS ORGANIZING PROJECT has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 21% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
99% 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 TEXAS ORGANIZING PROJECT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 42% · 2018 28% · 2019 41% · 2020 63% · 2021 51% · 2022 42% · 2023 47% — 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
22% of TEXAS ORGANIZING PROJECT's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 70% 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
TEXAS ORGANIZING PROJECT draws 90% of its grant income from funders outside Texas, across 9 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $565k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
