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 $4.0B to $4.6B (+13%).
How it's funded, over time

Government-grant reliance: 2017 2% · 2018 1% · 2019 2% · 2020 4% · 2021 6% · 2022 1% · 2023 2% · 2024 14% · 2025 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

68% 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 National Red Cross & Its Constituent Chapters and Branches.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 10% · 2018 16% · 2019 13% · 2020 13% · 2021 12% · 2022 14% · 2023 13% — growing more concentrated.
