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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $22M to $25M (+18%).
How it's funded, over time

Government-grant reliance: 2017 13%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

11 of 26 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 45% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $24M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Kansas State University Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY raised.
From the IRS filings of ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
48% 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 ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $322k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 states 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–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
