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.

02Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $21k → $20k.

3 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF)69% 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: $2.6M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Benedictine School for Exceptional Children Foundation Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money THE BENEDICTINE SCHOOL FOR EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN INC raised.

From the IRS filings of THE BENEDICTINE SCHOOL FOR EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN INC’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

THE BENEDICTINE SCHOOL FOR EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 50% of grant income and the top three 94%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder 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 THE BENEDICTINE SCHOOL FOR EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN INC.

Where its funders are

69% of THE BENEDICTINE SCHOOL FOR EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN INC'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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $137k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.

03Its place in the field

Funders to approach

Grantmakers that don’t fund you yet, surfaced two ways: they back organizations that share your funders, or their grantees resemble your mission. The ones both signals agree on come first. Your 7 funders put you under-funded among the 400 organizations that share them.

From the co-funder graph (funders backing at least two comparable organizations, shrunk for grantee count, donor-advised and mega-funds excluded) and the universe embeddings. A research starting point; overlap is association, not a guarantee of fit.
