What The Interfaith Alliance Foundation Inc does
Mission
Interfaith alliance is a growing network of people of diverse faiths and beliefs across the country working together to build a resilient democracy and fulfill america's promise of religious freedom and civil rights not just for some, but for all. We mobilize powerful coalitions to challenge christian nationalism and religious extremism, while fostering a better understanding of the healthy boundaries between religion and government. We advocate at all levels of government for an equitable and just america where the freedoms of belief and religious practice are protected and where all persons are treated with dignity and have the opportunity to thrive.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Policy and advocacy - recognizing the power of congress and state legislatures, the executive, and the courts to impact people's lives across the country, interfaith alliance has been the organization at the table that insists that our laws reflect the full range of religious diversity and experiences that make our democracy real. Interfaith alliance builds relationships with policymakers and coalition partners on the federal and state levels and conducts advocacy and educational efforts to remind political leaders that the majority of religious people believe that the rights of religious minorities, abortion access, marriage equality, and the sacred right to vote are bound up in the first amendment right of religious freedom. We specifically led in faith organizing around lgbtq+ equality, inclusive religious freedom, fighting hate and discrimination, protecting the right to vote and integrity of our elections, supporting public education and libraries, and reproductive justiceall laddering up to democracy.

We mobilize and resource coalitions of clergy and civic leaders, advocates, activists, and allies, trusting that local leaders know best the needs of their communities and can reach and influence a broad range of constituencies. To expand the pipeline of leaders with the capacity for interfaith organizing, ia launched a competitive pilot program, the interfaith leadership network (iln). We supported the formation of 10 diverse faith leaders with training, skill building, networks and resources to initiate pro-democracy projects in their local communities. They joined affiliate leaders and partners from across the country for a community and skill building convening in d.c. That kicked off the 30th anniversary celebration. Interfaith alliance led faith for pride, an effort that mobilized 120+ national and local organizations to work against anti-lgbtq+ legislation; 50 faith for pride events were held in 19…

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $1.1M to $2.2M (+101%).
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.
96% of THE INTERFAITH ALLIANCE FOUNDATION INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (90% for the typical peer).

15 of 33 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 23% 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 THE INTERFAITH ALLIANCE FOUNDATION INC’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
THE INTERFAITH ALLIANCE FOUNDATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 50% of grant income and the top three 72%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
26% 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 INTERFAITH ALLIANCE FOUNDATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 70% · 2018 48% · 2019 60% · 2020 81% · 2021 85% · 2022 79% · 2023 44% — diversifying over time.
“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
39% of THE INTERFAITH ALLIANCE FOUNDATION INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 64% 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
THE INTERFAITH ALLIANCE FOUNDATION INC draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Washington, D.C., across 15 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $859k arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
