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.

Left out of every figure on this page: $7.8M from one payer (the payer's own filing calls it a related party, largest A Glimmer of Hope Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money A GLIMMER OF HOPE FOUNDATION AUSTIN raised.
