Aside from helping run the fundraising events throughout the year and helping raise money to ensure the mission of Weish4Ever continues, the volunteers most importantly develop relationships with the beneficiaries. Each beneficiary is paired with one of the Weish4Ever volunteers when they are selected to be a beneficiary. The volunteers develop relationships with the beneficiaries and their families and often become great friends. It is more than just providing financial relief for beneficiaries and that is what the Weish4Ever volunteers do. From start to finish, they are on the journey with beneficiaries and provide support all along the way.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 $1.3M to $1.9M (+43%).

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.
The chief executive listed changed between the FY2021 and FY2022 filings.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left
62% 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 THE ANDREW WEISHAR FOUNDATION.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $344k arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
