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 2018 to 2019, from $372k to $448k (+20%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2018 4% · 2019 4% · 2020 4% · 2021 9% · 2022 3% · 2023 3% · 2024 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
21% of WISCONSIN SECTION OF THE AMERICAN WATER WORKS ASSOCIATION’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (84% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $53 → $16.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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: $250k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest American Water Works Association). These are real filings, and they are not money WISCONSIN SECTION OF THE AMERICAN WATER WORKS ASSOCIATION raised.
From the IRS filings of WISCONSIN SECTION OF THE AMERICAN WATER WORKS ASSOCIATION’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.
Where its funders are
100% of WISCONSIN SECTION OF THE AMERICAN WATER WORKS ASSOCIATION'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $86 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
