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 2023 to 2024, from $17M to $40M (+132%).
How it's funded, over time

Left out of every figure on this page: $9.1M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases). These are real filings, and they are not money AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF LIVER DISEASES FOUNDATION raised.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
79% 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 AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF LIVER DISEASES FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 90% · 2018 50% · 2019 49% · 2020 67% · 2021 85% · 2022 53% · 2023 51% — diversifying over time.

How long its funders stay
40% of AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF LIVER DISEASES FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 36% 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
72% of AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF LIVER DISEASES FOUNDATION'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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $801k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
