How the money works

From the Form 990 for the calendar year 2024 (Jan 2024 – Dec 2024) — read the filing ↗.

Where the money came from

Total revenue $56.9M

  • Contributions & grants$56.2M99%
  • Interest & dividends$2.7M5%
  • Gains or losses on investments sold−$4K−<1%
  • Other revenueNet income from fundraising events, rent, royalties and miscellaneous income−$2.0M−3%

Other revenue is net of a $130K loss on fundraising events: the events' direct costs exceeded what the Form 990 counts as event revenue. (Gifts made at events are counted under contributions.)

A loss reduces total revenue, so the other shares add up to more than 100%.

How it was spent, by purpose

Total expenses $66.2M

  • Program services$49.2M74%
  • Management & general$5.6M8%
  • Fundraising$11.4M17%
Grants to organizations & individuals
$33.4M · 50% of expenses
Salaries & officer compensation
$15.0M · 23% of expenses

The three purposes above add up to total expenses. Grants and pay are a different way of slicing the same spending — they fall within those purposes — so they're listed separately, not added on.

Percentages are shares of the total reported on the Form 990, not of the lines shown. Figures are as filed, rounded for display.
