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 2024 to 2025, from $26M to $38M (+44%).
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.
99% of TURNING POINT USA INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (3% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 36 funders to 306 funders, grant income rose $2.3M → $39M.
88 of 1007 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.
Left out of every figure on this page: $5.1M from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Turning Point Endowment Inc); $2.0M from one payer (an institutional transfer, not a grant programme, largest White Cake Family Foundation); $10k from one payer (the payer's own filing calls it a related party, largest Amin Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money TURNING POINT USA INC raised.
From the IRS filings of TURNING POINT USA INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 1007 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
TURNING POINT USA INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 18% of grant income, and it takes 7 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 7 funders to its left
55% 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 TURNING POINT USA INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 26% · 2018 16% · 2019 15% · 2020 17% · 2021 29% · 2022 22% · 2023 21% — 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
42% of TURNING POINT USA INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 43% 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 TURNING POINT USA INC'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 $95M that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Indiana, across 49 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $99M arriving through sponsors registered in 35 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.
