What The Normandy Institute does
Mission
Our mission is to inspire leaders and educators to shape the future by building strategic alliances, advancing the understanding of history, and applying this knowledge to today's complex global issues.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The Normandy Institute (the Institute) commissioned a monument dedicated to The Eighth Air Force (U.S.) and the critical role it played in the events of 1944 and beyond. The monument will consist of four life-size bronze airmen and will be unveiled during the annual D-Day Anniversary festivities in June 2025. Our efforts in this endeavor correlate with our educational goal of teaching the complete history of the Battle of Normandy so that succeeding generations can benefit from the lessons learned.
$300,000 spent55% of program spendingEvents hosted by the Institute each year during the commemoration of D-Day are a core component of its mission. Celebrating the remaining veterans as part of the 80th D-Day Anniversary afforded the Institute the opportunity to stengthen bonds with key partners who are similarly aligned with our goals. These include multinational government representatives, distinguished universities, corporations, donors, senior U.S. military officers and military academies.
$181,951 spent34% of program spendingThe Institute continues compiling and editing the Terrain Walk films, with episodes focused on individual battlefield walks conducted by retired Col. Keith Nightingale. The storytelling portrays each unique skirmish, battle objective or strategic circumstance as told to Col. Nightingale by the soldiers who experienced them first-hand.

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 2023 to 2024, from $273k to $426k (+56%).
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.
100% of THE NORMANDY INSTITUTE’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

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
2021 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income rose $37k → $75k.
4 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 26% 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 NORMANDY INSTITUTE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 6 of 7 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 NORMANDY INSTITUTE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 46% of grant income and the top three 86%; 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 NORMANDY INSTITUTE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 68% · 2022 80% · 2023 67% — broadly stable.
“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
THE NORMANDY INSTITUTE draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside New York, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $72k 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.
