Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $249k to $711k (+186%).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
29% 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 ALLIANCE FOR REFUGEE YOUTH SUPPORT AND EDUCATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 55% · 2019 48% · 2020 48% · 2021 31% · 2022 22% · 2023 27% — diversifying over time.
