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.

02Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 107 funders to 171 funders, grant income rose $14M → $40M.

51 of 376 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF)19% 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: $22M from one payer (an institutional transfer, not a grant programme, largest Children's Medical Research Inc); $12M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Foundation for Engineering at the University of Oklahoma Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA FOUNDATION INC raised.

From the IRS filings of UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA FOUNDATION INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 376 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.

29% 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 UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA FOUNDATION INC.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $49M arriving through sponsors registered in 24 statesis 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.

Funders to approach

Grantmakers that don’t fund you yet, surfaced two ways: they back organizations that share your funders, or their grantees resemble your mission. The ones both signals agree on come first. Your 376 funders put you typical among the 400 organizations that share them.

From the co-funder graph (funders backing at least two comparable organizations, shrunk for grantee count, donor-advised and mega-funds excluded) and the universe embeddings. A research starting point; overlap is association, not a guarantee of fit.
