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 68% · 2018 54% · 2019 58% · 2020 70% · 2021 63% · 2022 64% · 2023 49% · 2024 49%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
42% of NORTH QUEENS FIRE ASSOCIATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (11% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

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 NORTH QUEENS FIRE ASSOCIATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 51% · 2018 91% · 2019 100% · 2020 51% · 2021 82% · 2022 97% · 2023 96% — growing more concentrated.
