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.
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: 2017 95% · 2018 93% · 2019 93% · 2020 93% · 2021 91% · 2022 90% · 2023 93% · 2024 91%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
34% of HOPE HAVEN SOCIETY’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (8% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

How concentrated its funding is
HOPE HAVEN SOCIETY leans on a few funders — its largest provides 70% of grant income and the top three 90%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder 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 HOPE HAVEN SOCIETY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 39% · 2018 72% · 2020 85% · 2021 88% · 2022 62% · 2023 96% — growing more concentrated.
“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 is still being filed and is shown unshaded; it does not move any figure on this page.

20% of HOPE HAVEN SOCIETY's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 31% give in more than one year at all.

These figures are read directly from the CRA's published T3010 data: this organization’s own return for FY2024 (financials across 2017–2024), and the filings of 16 funders that report grants to it. “On record” means captured in the filings we have parsed — a funder that does not e-file, or whose grant detail is not itemized, will not appear. Filings run roughly 12–24 months behind. Trends on this page end at FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving; later years are shown and marked, and move no figure.
