Where its funders are

100% of THE CUYAHOGA COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY (FKA OHIO COUNTY &INDCUYAHOGA CTY FAIR)'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $25k 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.
