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 41% · 2018 38% · 2019 47% · 2020 56% · 2021 80% · 2022 64% · 2023 51% · 2024 47%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
23% of PREMIER ACTE’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (11% for the typical peer).

From the CRA filings of PREMIER ACTE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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.
How concentrated its funding is
PREMIER ACTE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 38% of grant income and the top three 93%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders 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 PREMIER ACTE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 74% · 2018 55% · 2019 100% · 2020 53% · 2021 100% · 2022 35% · 2023 44% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.
