E5 Funder Map · For nonprofits with $150K–$3M budgets

Most small nonprofits are carried by three funders or fewer. Their best-funded peers report eight to ten.

The Funder Map closes that gap with evidence, not a keyword search: 25 or more foundations already giving to organizations like yours, each deadline confirmed on the funder's own site, sequenced into a 90-day calendar your board can act on.

Print-grade PDF in 5 business days. Full refund if fewer than 15 eligible funders can be identified. Payments processed by Stripe.

The funder gap, measured

The difference between a fragile budget and a durable one is rarely the mission. It is the number of funders who already know your name.

We read the grant schedules of private foundations filing in Florida and counted how many distinct funders support organizations of your size.

Distinct funders · the average

Florida nonprofits with $150K–$3M budgets and foundation support.

8to10

The best-funded quarter

Organizations in the top quartile of their peer set report eight to ten.

0to3

Most small organizations

Concentrated in one to three relationships, each one a single point of failure.

What is delivered

One document. Four things your development committee has never had in the same place.

Built from your organization's own IRS filings and peer set, not from a generic database export.

I.

25+ verified funders from your peer set

Foundations whose 990-PF grant schedules show gifts to organizations of your size, program area and geography in the last four filing years. Each entry: what they gave, to whom, how often, and how to approach.

II.

IRS-990 peer benchmark

Where your organization sits against its peer distribution: funder count, median grant size, revenue mix and concentration risk, drawn from your own filings and theirs.

III.

90-day approach calendar

Every open deadline, letter-of-inquiry window and rolling-intake note sequenced for the coming quarter, with the two or three funders to approach first.

IV.

Every deadline checked on the funder's own site

We hold a tiered evidence standard. A date only enters your calendar when it is confirmed at the source.

  • Tier AFunder's own site, portal or program officer
  • Tier BOfficial secondary record (IRS, state registry)
  • Tier CAggregator data: a lead, never a deadline, until verified at Tier A

How it works

Fifteen minutes of your time. Five business days of ours.

  1. Purchase

    Secure checkout through Stripe. You will be asked for your organization's legal name, EIN, website and primary program area so the research can begin the same day.

    Day 0

  2. 15-minute intake form

    Within one business day the research desk emails a short intake: annual budget band, current funders, programs you want funded, and anything you would rather we not pursue.

    Day 1

  3. Delivery

    A print-grade PDF, with the funder list, benchmark and calendar, delivered to the address on your order within five business days of the completed intake. One round of clarifying questions is included.

    Within 5 business days

Pricing

Two ways to order. Both are one-time payments.

Priced so that a single grant at the peer median ($41K–$83K in the Miami data) returns the fee many times over.

Refund standard

If our research desk cannot identify at least 15 eligible funders for your organization, we refund the purchase in full and tell you why. You keep the benchmark.

Questions

What boards ask before they order.

Who is this for?

Registered 501(c)(3) organizations, and fiscally sponsored projects, with annual budgets between roughly $150,000 and $3 million that rely on one to three funders and want to widen the base. It is most useful for organizations in food and agriculture, youth and education, housing and economic mobility, health, civic work and the arts, where the 990 record of peer giving is deep enough to benchmark.

It is not for organizations under $100,000 without a filed Form 990 or 990-EZ, or for organizations seeking government contracts, which do not appear in foundation filings.

What if you cannot find enough funders for us?

Full refund if fewer than 15 eligible funders can be identified. Eligible means a funder whose filings show grants to organizations of your size and program area, whose stated geography includes yours, and who accepts inquiries or applications. We tell you before the deadline what we found and why it fell short, and you keep the peer benchmark.

Who does the work?

E5's research desk. The first pass over the IRS 990-PF record is agent-assisted: software reads the grant schedules and builds the peer set. Every funder that reaches your map is then reviewed by a person, and every deadline is confirmed on the funder's own site before it enters your calendar. The document is signed off by E5 Enclave's Chairman.

What do you need from us?

Your organization's legal name, EIN, website and primary program area at checkout, and about fifteen minutes on the intake form the next business day. We do not need financial statements; your filed Form 990 tells us what we need to know.

Where do the numbers on this page come from?

IRS Form 990-PF filings for 2022–2026, which list every grant a private foundation made and to whom. We counted distinct foundation funders per recipient for Florida nonprofits with $150K–$3M budgets. These counts exclude government, corporate and donor-advised-fund giving, which do not appear in 990-PF schedules, so an organization's true funder count is usually higher than the figure here, and the gap between the average and the top quartile is, if anything, understated.

Is the purchase tax-deductible?

No. E5 Enclave Incorporated is a 501(c)(3) public charity, but the Funder Map is a payment for services and is not a charitable contribution. Proceeds support E5's research desk and its programs in Liberty City. A Stripe receipt is issued for your records.
