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 $2.9M to $3.7M (+25%).

Who funds it, year by year

6 of 24 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 28% 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: $120k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest American Legion Auxiliary National Headquarters). These are real filings, and they are not money AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY FNDN raised.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
70% 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 LEGION AUXILIARY FNDN.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 50% · 2018 84% · 2019 82% · 2020 60% · 2021 48% · 2022 58% · 2023 62% — growing more concentrated.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $171k 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.
