01What it does

What Unloop does

Mission

Unloop enables people who have been in prison to succeed in careers in tech. The organization provides education and re-entry support services for currently and formerly incarcerated individuals.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. In 2024, Unloop made meaningful progress in supporting formerly incarcerated individuals pursuing tech careers. In partnership with Victory Code, we completed a 6-month software engineering bootcamp at no cost to participants, training 14 individuals in software development fundamentals. Each participant gained hands-on experience with GitHub, LinkedIn, and technical tools, supported by 16 volunteer mentors and over $16,000 in financial assistance. Participants celebrated major milestones: one participant graduated from Centralia College and completed the Next Chapter program; one participant advanced in the Microsoft LEAP interview process; one participant enrolled in a Data Center Technician program. Others took on contract work, including live web design projects and published design templates. We deepened industry partnerships through company visits and mock interviews with Stripe and continued engagement with Microsoft LEAP. With over $41,000 raised for tuition, housing, and reentry support, and ongoing backing from the Department of Commerce and Congresswoman Jayapal, we're building lasting pathways to opportunity.

02The organization over time

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.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $787k → $16k.

5 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 22% 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 UNLOOP’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

UNLOOP leans on a few funders — its largest provides 66% of grant income and the top three 82%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

99% 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 UNLOOP.

Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 98% · 2019 71% · 2020 52% · 2021 69% · 2022 44% · 2023 93% — 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

38% of UNLOOP's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 45% give in more than one year at all.

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

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

UNLOOP draws 97% of its grant income from funders outside Washington, across 5 states in all.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $252k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.

These figures are read directly from IRS Form 990 / 990-PF e-file XML: this organization’s own return for FY2024 (financials across 2017–2024), and the filings of 11 funders that report grants to it. “On record” means captured in the filings we have parsed — a funder that does not e-file, or whose grant detail is not itemized, will not appear. Filings run roughly 12–24 months behind. Trends on this page end at FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving; later years are shown and marked, and move no figure.
