What The People's Nonprofit Accelerator does
Mission
To serve people raising funds for nonprofit organizations by linking them with others in the development community and providing affordable opportunities for their professional growth and education.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Accomplishments in 2024 include educating many individuals across the development series, signature courses, and annual conference. Being digitally accessible for instruction has allowed our programs to reach individuals beyond the portland metro, to across the state of oregon. On occassion we have enrollment from outside of the state. Our sliding-scale tuition model for the certificate in nonprofit fundraising, grant writing, and executive leadership academy has increased educational access for people who identify as bipoc, lgbtq, a person with a disability, and experience living on low income or poverty. Introduced both new board match events and board readiness training series to support local nonprofit community in strengthening their volunteer leadership.

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 2021 to 2022, from $58k to $233k (+298%).
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: 2020 17% · 2021 19%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
63% of THE PEOPLE'S NONPROFIT ACCELERATOR’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (64% 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.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $2k → $40k.
3 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 17% 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 PEOPLE'S NONPROFIT ACCELERATOR’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 PEOPLE'S NONPROFIT ACCELERATOR leans on a few funders — its largest provides 53% of grant income and the top three 78%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 96% · 2019 84% · 2020 67% · 2021 62% · 2022 41% · 2023 100% — 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.
How long its funders stay
60% of THE PEOPLE'S NONPROFIT ACCELERATOR's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 45% 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
94% of THE PEOPLE'S NONPROFIT ACCELERATOR's grant income comes from Oregon funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $110k 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.
