What Transform Alabama does
Mission
Our mission is to build a more equitable democracy by organizing everyday citizens through producing hip hop-based intergenerational community events, collecting oral histories, and creating multimedia content with the goal to provide practical political education and increase black constituent engagement.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
This year we spoke to 6,200 people who voted in 2020 but did not vote in 2022. Of these individuals 4,500 voted in november 2024. We also founded our hbcu leaders program at talladega college, tuskegee university, and miles college. The hbcu leaders program is training the next wave of leaders. Our mission includes using hip hop culture as an educational tool. This year we launched the selma hip hop harvest festival. Through our text bank outreach led by our talladega college hbcu leaders, we reached over 60,000 people. Finally, Transform Alabama institutionalized our project heal, elevate and transform (h.e.a.t.) our civic engagementprogram.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 $10k to $6k (−33%).
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.
100% of TRANSFORM ALABAMA’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 2 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $37k → $149k.
1 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 13% 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 TRANSFORM ALABAMA’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
TRANSFORM ALABAMA leans on a few funders — its largest provides 71% of grant income and the top three 96%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
96% 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 TRANSFORM ALABAMA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 72% — 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.
Where its funders are
81% of TRANSFORM ALABAMA's grant income comes from Alabama funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $50k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
