03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 21 funders to 42 funders, grant income rose $354k → $2.7M.

17 of 90 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 37% 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: $3.6M from 22 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest United Way Association of South Carolina Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money UNITED WAY OF GREENVILLE COUNTY INC raised.

From the IRS filings of UNITED WAY OF GREENVILLE COUNTY INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 90 funders by total. Association, not causation.
