Mission
Our mission is to improve the lives of homeless women, youth, and children by providing sanctuary, support, education, tools, and resources that empower them to improve the quality of their lives on every level, achieve greater self sufficiency, and build safe, secure lives.

To support our mission we also advocate on behalf of homeless women, youth, and children to raise awareness of their special needs. The orgnization inspires innovative holistic solutions that truly break the cycle of childhood abuse, domestic violence and homelessness, and advance research and enlightened social policies for greater understanding, social inclusion and resources for homeless women and children. Our vision is that every homeless woman, youth, and child will have the opportunity to heal, learn and grow, build the foundation for a brighter future, and blossom as to who they are truly meant to be.

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 $13M to $19M (+43%).
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: 2017 49% · 2018 56% · 2019 57% · 2020 52% · 2021 30% · 2022 36% · 2023 43% · 2024 38%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of THE SUNDARI FOUNDATION INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (13% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 10 funders to 46 funders, grant income rose $832k → $1.5M.
25 of 121 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 31% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $2.6M from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Lotus Endowment Fund Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money THE SUNDARI FOUNDATION INC raised.
From the IRS filings of THE SUNDARI FOUNDATION INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 121 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 SUNDARI FOUNDATION INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 11% of grant income, and it takes 10 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 10 funders to its left
52% 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 SUNDARI FOUNDATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 30% · 2018 26% · 2019 29% · 2020 41% · 2021 23% · 2022 33% · 2023 9% — 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.
How long its funders stay
35% of THE SUNDARI FOUNDATION INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 55% 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
60% of THE SUNDARI FOUNDATION INC's grant income comes from Florida funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.6M arriving through sponsors registered in 17 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.
