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 99% · 2019 99% · 2020 99% · 2021 100% · 2022 98% · 2023 99% · 2024 99%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of SOUTH SHORE FAMILY RESOURCE ASSOCIATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (4% for the typical peer).

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 SOUTH SHORE FAMILY RESOURCE ASSOCIATION.
