$680,294 spent100% of program spending
The program described on its FY2025 Form 990. Program spending in total: $680,294.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 $1.4M to $1.2M (−18%).
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. 5 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Left out of every figure on this page: $1.4M from 9 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Associated General Contractors of America Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money THE ROAD INFORMATION PROGRAM INC raised.
From the IRS filings of THE ROAD INFORMATION PROGRAM INC’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.

THE ROAD INFORMATION PROGRAM INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 41% of grant income and the top three 90%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
99% 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 ROAD INFORMATION PROGRAM INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 40% · 2022 59% · 2023 48% — diversifying over time.
