$8,112 spent$44,123 earned by the program13% of program spendingAt the heart of the WOLCFs work is the belief that global engagement transforms lives. In July, four student ambassadors traveled to Luanda, Angola, as part of the WOLCFs International Ambassadors Program (IAP). This immersive experience offered students firsthand exposure to African history, culture, and global perspectives-broadening their academic interests and shaping their future aspirations. The program remains a cornerstone of the WOLCFs commitment to cultivating globally aware, culturally fluent leaders. Complementing this effort, the U.S. Foreign Service Initiative (USFSI) engaged 15 high school students in spring and fall cohorts. Through six-session programs featuring diplomats, policy experts, and industry professionals, students explored careers in international affairs, media, trade, the environment, and diplomacy. Participants gained practical skills, career insights, and confidence, with several moving toward becoming future ambassadors.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2021 to 2022, from $273k to $484k (+77%).

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $500 → $20k.
2 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 73% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

William O Lockridge Community Foundation leans on a few funders — its largest provides 73% of grant income and the top three 98%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
93% 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 William O Lockridge Community Foundation.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2020 99% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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
73% of William O Lockridge Community Foundation'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 $34k that is directly attributable, 99% of it comes from Washington, D.C. funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $90k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
