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 98% · 2018 97% · 2019 96% · 2020 90% · 2021 90% · 2022 85% · 2023 82% · 2024 82%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
0% of NORTHERN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (8% for the typical peer).

How concentrated its funding is
NORTHERN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 65% of grant income and the top three 100%; 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 NORTHERN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
