the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
88% 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 OF PHYSICIANS FOR HUMAN RIGHT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 68% · 2019 65% · 2020 65% · 2021 76% · 2022 55% · 2023 39% — diversifying over time.
