What The Inverness Association does
Mission
Maintain and preserve inverness, marin county, california
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
In the year 21/22, the Inverness Foundation continued to perform maintenance on its iconic and historic building, The Gables, which houses the Marin County Public Library and the Jack Mason Museum of West Marin History.While not accomplished as of the end of the tax year, an agreement was reached with a young licensed business in the area to remove and replace the decrepit picket fence around the gardens. Work was performed by another local contractor to create more fire prevention related vegetation clearance for the library, and the gutters were professionally cleaned of debris to facilitate the function during heavy rain events. In addition, more work took place replacing bits and pieces of bridges around the community and on the many trails that the public uses to get to beaches, the post office and hiking trails. Our parks and beaches got attention in cleanups and defensible space work as well. The ADA door had to undergo more work by the service company due to the installation of an incorrect circuit board, and fortunately the work was covered at no charge, under warranty by the service provider.The Foundation continued to support, through Fiscal Sponsorship, scholarships…

The program described on its FY2021 Form 990. Program spending in total: $15,677.
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 2017 to 2018, from $973k to $1.0M (+6%).
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. 2 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
2018 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income fell $27k → $1k.
3 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 95% 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 INVERNESS ASSOCIATION’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 INVERNESS ASSOCIATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 73% of grant income and the top three 95%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
95% 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 INVERNESS ASSOCIATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 99% · 2020 98% · 2021 95% · 2023 83% — 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.
Where its funders are
95% of THE INVERNESS ASSOCIATION'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. Of the $2k that is directly attributable, 62% of it comes from funders outside California, across 3 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $34k 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.
