01What it does

What Together Rising does

Mission

Together Rising exists to turn our collective heartbreak into effective action.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Program

On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.

Together Rising sunsetted as a nonprofit organization in 2024, ceasing all programmatic activity in doing so.

Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).

  1. Organization grants: $3,544,702.45in our largest program, Together Rising invested in dozens of boots-on-the-ground organizations meeting the most urgent needs of their communities. The board voted to approve a total of $3,544,702.45 in organization grants. For example, in response to increased attacks on reproductive freedom and access to reproductive health care in the united states, Together Rising invested $900,000 in organizations including holler health justice (hhj) to secure safe, accessible abortion and reproductive healthcare for those most marginalized, including bipoc, lgbtq+, low-income, and rural communities who are disproportionately impacted by restrictions and bans on reproductive healthcare. (continued on schedule o)in response to repeated nationwide attacks on lgbtq+ communities and transgender youth, Together Rising invested $875,500 in partner organizations to support lgbtq+ communities and to help provide life-saving gender-affirming care. Together Rising invested $750,000 in out youth, an organization serving lgbtq+ youth in central texas and their families and allies. This grant funded a safe place for youth, aged 9 to 23, to receive comprehensive,…

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 61 funders, grant income rose $19k → $1.3M.

39 of 203 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 81% 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 TOGETHER RISING’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 203 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

TOGETHER RISING has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 17% 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

83% 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 TOGETHER RISING.

“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

22% of TOGETHER RISING's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 42% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y+5y+6y

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

81% of TOGETHER RISING'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 $1.1M that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Virginia, across 36 states.

Virginia out of state home

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $4.6M arriving through sponsors registered in 21 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.
