What The Jeannette Rankin Foundation Inc does
Mission
Jeannette rankin foundation provides non-tuition unrestricted scholar grants and support to women with financial need, over 35 nationally and over 25 in georgia and montana to build better lives through post-secondary education completion.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
To date we have awarded 2,577 scholar grants in the amount of $5,602,941. 78% of rankin scholars are single mothers, and these funds are vital to their ability to pursue their education while caring for their families. Grants are used to fill gaps for expenses not covered by traditional scholarships including childcare, housing, & food. According to the iwpr, the u.s. Would get a return of $5.05 for every dollar spent on providing additional financial aid to single mothers. With the award of 265 $2,500 scholar grants in 2024-2025 & the balance disbursed in emergency funds/vocational education support, the return on investment of this year's scholar grant funds would be $3,282,500.

These support services aid scholars in navigating the challenges of going to school, working and caring for their families, and they greatly improve outcomes of success. This past year, rankin scholars achieved a 96% persistence rate, the rate of scholars who graduated or continued with their education. According to iwpr, every dollar invested in case management and coaching would provide a return of $5.48 for each dollar spent.

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 2021 to 2022, from $2.0M to $3.1M (+55%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 10% · 2025 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 8 funders to 15 funders, grant income rose $107k → $801k.
14 of 34 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 49% 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 JEANNETTE RANKIN FOUNDATION INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 34 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 JEANNETTE RANKIN FOUNDATION INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 23% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
49% 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 JEANNETTE RANKIN FOUNDATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 37% · 2018 51% · 2019 49% · 2020 40% · 2021 33% · 2022 32% · 2023 44% — growing more concentrated.
“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
56% of THE JEANNETTE RANKIN FOUNDATION INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 74% 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 JEANNETTE RANKIN FOUNDATION INC draws 84% of its grant income from funders outside Georgia, across 12 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.0M 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.
