Programs
TRRA, based in Pittsburgh, PA has a broad base of rowing and dragon boating program opportunities and experiences for youth and adults. TRRA is one of the largest community rowing and paddling boathouses in the nation.
$855,190 spent73% of program spendingTRRA establishes rowing programs for youth in area high schools. Two local high schools have established programs that call TRRA their home during the academic year. TRRA also operated its own Juniors programs which accept participants from all local schools. TRRA offers summer rowing opportunities in which students are able to refine their skills and continue to develop as athletes, leaders, and young adults. Many Pittsburgh area youth have developed their skills enough to earn college scholarships, some extending their talent to the National Team Level including two Olympic gold medalists. Another youth program that TRRA offers is First Row 2.0, a land based program in which TRRA brings rowing TO the community, particularly middle schools and community centers, to raise awareness of the sport, increase access to rowing and showcase opportunities the sport provides. Another program operating out of TRRA is the Hearts of Steel Dragon Boat Team. Hearts of Steel empowers breast cancer survivors to strengthen the mind, body and spirit through camradarie and the sport of dragon boat paddling. TRRA also continued to grow its rowing program for Veterans with over 10 Veterans…
$267,511 spent23% of program spendingTRRA has offered an Adaptive Rowing program for over 20 years. It was one of the first adaptive rowing programs in the nation. Rowing clubs across the country have modeled their own adaptive programs on ours. The sport of adaptive rowing has grown in the 20 years to now include a US Rowing Adaptive National Team that competes internationally. Rowing is a sport that allows freedom on water to individuals with disabilities. The TRRA program offers weekly practices to individuals with disabilities including physical disabilities, limited mobility, cognative disabilities, and visual impairments. The Adaptive rowing programs provide participants with the ability to compete in multiple regattas including the Bayada in Philadelphia, the Head of the Charles in Boston, and the Head of the Ohio in Pittsburgh. The program is offered at a very low cost to participants by scholarship so that financial circumstances do not impede access. About twenty individuals with disabilities participate in the program annually. The Director of Adaptive & Para Rowing coordinates the program and organizes about 50 individual volunteers. These volunteers have offered significant hours of volunteer service…

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 2018 to 2019, from $3.7M to $3.4M (−9%).
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: 2018 14% · 2020 14% · 2021 13%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 7 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 6 funders, grant income rose $20k → $69k.
6 of 23 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 51% 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 Three Rivers Rowing Association’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
Three Rivers Rowing Association has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 22% 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
68% 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 Three Rivers Rowing Association.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 54% · 2018 35% · 2019 53% · 2020 51% · 2021 37% · 2022 28% · 2023 34% — 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
29% of Three Rivers Rowing Association's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 48% 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
51% of Three Rivers Rowing Association's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $321k that is directly attributable, 98% of it comes from Pennsylvania funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $333k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
