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 THE BRITISH COLUMBIA LIONS FOUNDATION FOR CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES.

How long its funders stay
29% of THE BRITISH COLUMBIA LIONS FOUNDATION FOR CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
80% of THE BRITISH COLUMBIA LIONS FOUNDATION FOR CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the C$7k that is directly attributable, 66% of it comes from funders outside British Columbia, across 4 regions.
In-province vs out-of-province, by year
Funder regions come from each funder’s own filing. C$30k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 region is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. 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.
