What Woman's Missionary Union Foundation does
Mission
The Woman's Missionary Union Foundation was organized for the purpose of motivating and facilitating the making of gifts, donations, and benefactions for the advancement, promotion and maintenance of woman's missionary union and the various causes fostered, approved, endorsed, promoted or officially sanctioned by wmu and the related state wmu organizations, including, but not limited to, missions education and any other purposes within the scope of the foundation.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The foundation manages approximately 122 separate funds, endowments totaling over $25.5 million, used strictly for their exempt purpose. The foundation also serves as the investment manager for 24 religious organizations with assets of $22 million under management. Grants in excess of $1.5 million were paid out during the year.

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 2021 to 2022, from $53M to $45M (−16%).
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.
54% of WOMAN'S MISSIONARY UNION FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $49k → $68k.
8 of 8 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: $13k from one payer (the same organization on both sides, largest Woman's Missionary Union Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money WOMAN'S MISSIONARY UNION FOUNDATION raised.
From the IRS filings of WOMAN'S MISSIONARY UNION FOUNDATION’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
WOMAN'S MISSIONARY UNION FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 38% of grant income and the top three 78%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
100% 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 WOMAN'S MISSIONARY UNION FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 65% · 2018 62% · 2019 54% · 2020 99% · 2021 44% · 2022 48% · 2023 30% — 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
60% of WOMAN'S MISSIONARY UNION FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 75% give in more than one year at all.
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
100% of WOMAN'S MISSIONARY UNION 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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $380k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
